Synopsis:
The summer that Chase Stern entered my life, I was seventeen. The daughter of a legend, the Yankees were my family, their stadium my home, their dugout my workplace. My focus was on the game. Chase … he started out as a distraction. A distraction with sex appeal poured into every inch of his six foot frame. A distraction who played like a god and partied like a devil.
I tried to stay away. I couldn’t.
Then, the team started losing.
Women started dying.
And everything in my world broke apart.

My Review:
This is such a complex and
compelling read. There is so much that I want to tell you but there are layers
to this story and I do not want to give spoilers away. There is two parts to
the story –There is the owner’s sexy and young 17 yo daughter Ty Rollins who
helps keep “her guys” in order and when the team brings in Chase Stern, famous for his talent but off
field known for sleeping with other players wives, Ty was afraid he would hurt
her “boys”. Little did she know how he would affect her
life. The first part of the book, we see the love affair that develops between
Chase and Ty. It is fast and beautiful. First love always is; When it comes to
Ty, Chase acted differently around Ty. He treated her different. He saw her and
realized she wasn’t a gold digger. The more time they spend together, the more
they realize they have in common and the more they open up to each other. The
love is there and they truly open up to each other until a huge twist occur and
they are ripped away from each other. Ty tries to get Chase to speak to her but
he refuses and at that moment, Ty’s fantasies of her first love, and her true
love are gone and along with it, the secret she is holding.
In part two of the book,
it is 4 years later, we see that Ty is now married to the owner’s son of Yankees and
she is trying to make the best of her life without the love in her life. There
is a change coming, and it takes another huge twist and turn to bring her first
love, her only true love back into her life. But there is a murder mystery in
this part of the book and it continues to escalate and it puts Ty’ s life at
risk. There is so much going on, that I feel so much admiration for Ty-here she
is, holding on and trying to make it all work until one day, she takes that
leap and lets it all go for a chance to redo it all over. Can any of us say we
did that? This book has so much going on that if it were a lesser author, it wouldn’t
work but Ms. Torre makes it work and does it beautifully. I loved the 2nd
chance romance/reunited lovers/murder mystery story so much. The huge twist at
the end and the beautiful and emotional ending wrapped this book up with a
simple bow. The characters are complex, messy, demanding and emotional. Ty is
one strong, sassy, independent, at times fragile woman. She went thru so much
to finally get what she was owed. Chase was a manwhore who didn’t see what he
did was wrong until he met his true love and he finally realized it. But he
handled things wrong. He was an alpha male , one who loved sports, and never
made mistakes until he made a huge one and paid for it for years. These MC make this book and the supporting
cast of characters will grab your heart .
My rating: 4.7 stars *****
