Series: Suttonville Sentinels, #3
Description:
Pitcher Dylan Dennings has his future all mapped out: make the minors straight out of high school, work his way up the farm system, and get called up to the majors by the time he’s twenty-three. The Plan has been his sole focus for years, and if making his dreams come true means instituting a strict “ no girls” policy, so be it.
Lucy Foster, needlepoint ninja, big sister to an aspiring pitcher, and chicken advocate, likes a little mayhem. So what if she gets lost taking her brother to baseball camp...at her own high school? The pitching coach, some hotshot high school player, obviously thinks she’s a hot mess. Too bad he’s cute, because he’s so not her type.
Problem is, they keep running into each other, and every interaction sparks hotter than the last. But with Dylan’s future on the line, he has to decide whether some rules are made to be broken...

Swoon worthy and adorable, that’s how I can best describe
this book.
This is my second Suttonville Sentinels books, luckily they
can all be read alone. It was so very
sweet to watch these two characters develop and grow with each other throughout
the book. We meet Lucy who is very out
there and unique in her own right, she likes to sew which is not something
common in young kids these days but it was great to watch and visualize. We also dive into Dylan’s life and his dream
for becoming the next hot baseball star.
These two are very determined people but in different ways. Where one is very low key and leaned back the
other is very strict and regime in the things that they do.
It was fun to experience the full on attraction of this ying
and yang couple. Sure there were some
hiccups in the road, but it’s how they overcame them that mattered. I loved all the secondary characters like
Tristen and Otis as well as Lucy’s mother. I really felt for her and her family when they
would talk about their father and how they wish he was home from the military
but it’s hard sometimes.
There were moments in this book where my heart would sink
and soar and I would connect with the characters so much. Life is hard sometimes. Achieving your goals can be even harder, but
it’s that determination and that strength that will always get you there,
sometimes you just have to get sidetracked to get on the right path.
I thought this book was overall adorable and sweet. Very realistic it wasn’t insta love but there
was definitely an instant connection between these two characters. I really believe that they needed each other
in so many ways to show each other that there are other things out there
sometimes it’s good to be free and sometimes it’s good to have order. Very quick and easy fun read. Loved the baseball facts throughout the book
and the insight into previous characters as well.
