LOVE ISN'T A GAME . . .

I’ve given up everything for the chance to play major league baseball. Everything. Now I’m so close I can practically hear the crowd chanting my name. There’s nothing that could take my dream away from me . . .

Unless I lose focus. And Ainsley Burke is the most beautiful, distracting woman I’ve ever met. When I’m with her, I can’t think of anything else.

But no matter how much I want Ainsley, there’s no room for love in my game plan. I can give her a quick tour of the bases, but that’s it. Then I have to let her go. If she wants to think I’m a love ’em and leave ’em player, fine.

All dreams require sacrifice. I just wish this one didn’t mean tearing out my own heart.

MY REVIEW:

Home Run from Heidi McLaughlin is definitely a Home Run! What a great sports romance which really focuses more on the couple and their story than the sport-- Ainsley and Cooper were the perfect match. Cooper Bailey is on his way to living his dream finally – which is becoming a professional baseball player then he meets Ainsley Burke. The chemistry between them is electric.  Ainsley spends her time taking care of her sick mother & working at the zoo caring for her animals. She really doesn’t have time for a relationship but something about Cooper makes her want to make the time for a relationship. God I loved  Ainsley-= she had such a big heart and she was so caring and sweet. Oh and she was sassy- she found something special in Cooper which made her make time to see him when she didn’t have time. Cooper was in town to prove himself to this professional sports team yet when he met Ainsley, all he could think about was her smile and her big heart. Yet there were things in their past that was causing them issues in the present and causing angst in their relationship and there were twists and turns that occurred which kept me glued to this story. What an exciting read , especially when at some point these two are separated and I was dying , praying to know if they would ever get back together. Do they or will they stay apart? Only will you find out if you read this fantastic book 2 in the Boys of Summer Series by Heidi McLaughlin .

My Rating:  4.6 stars *****
