Synopsis

Full of enthusiasm, recent graduate Hayley Carter is thrilled to be working for a non-profit organization in Washington, DC. Having spent a lot of her life in the background due to family circumstances, Hayley is eager to step up and be heard—and bring much needed change to her new organization. With romance on the shelf, it's time to focus on herself and new career. Armed with a workbook to help her improve on a personal and professional level, Hayley is ready to become a better version of who she already is.

But will a baseball player for the Washington Soaring Eagles challenge her thoughts on not only dating, but the person she thinks she needs to be?

Brody Jensen is the new catcher for the professional team in DC. Baseball is everything to Brody and has been his salvation while growing up. Brody wants to make the most of his full-time shot behind the plate. Which means no serious relationships.

However, when a chance encounter leads him to Hayley, Brody finds himself wanting to know all about the beautiful blonde who has engaged him from the moment he spotted her. Together, they find themselves questioning the ideals they had set for not only relationships, but themselves, too.

When the cherry blossoms bloom in the nation's capital, Cupid puts a squeeze play on Hayley and Brody. Will they be brave enough to love themselves and each other? Will love be called out? Or will their relationship be safe at home?

Baseball and sex. Oh, did I say sex? Lots of genitalia, naked ballplayers, you name it. If you don't like profanity, this is not for you. However, if you want to follow a female sportswriter covering the Washington Senators and their horrible season in 1989, you'll have a good old time seeing crazy......more

Goodreads review by Ben

Belatedly finished this one, and glad I did. A good read. So many insights into what sportswriting was like around 1990, and I find that interesting. Also lots of observations about what it was like for women sportswriters in particular at that time, which is also interesting. Sure sounds like it wa......more

Goodreads review by Maya

This was something of a let down. If you are familiar with Leavy's nonfiction biographies ("The Last Boy," for instance, on Mickey Mantle), you know she is abundantly familiar with the game and more importantly "what baseball is all about." Given her pedigree as a writer, I really was expecting more......more
