However, even as a non-fan of baseball, I found it to be an exciting, nicely paced read. There is a lot of sports content, so if you find sports-talk to be very boring, you might not love this one. That isn't to say that this book would be for everyone. By 75%, I just couldn't put the book down, and I upgraded my review by a whole star. I got really attached to Matt and Iggy (love that name), and I was on the edge of my seat, emotionally speaking, as everything went down towards the end of the book. These characters grew on me so much, and my relationship with them blossomed as I read. I liked the beginning of this book, but I didn't love it until 50% or so.
It is about their ups and downs, their struggles at being closeted, and what baseball means to them.
The MCs get together almost as soon as they meet, and the whole book is really about exploring their relationship and navigating the sports world together, as a couple, over the course of YEARS. What can I say, I just loooove the sexual tension to build and build.īecause of that, I also tend to read books that focus more on the beginnings of a romance. I prefer the two MCs to not even hook up or get romantic AT ALL until about 50% of the way through. But the whole "athlete worship" thing? Yeah, doesn't do much for me, so I wasn't expecting to adore this one.Īlso, this book is a little more unconventional for me because I like my romance to wait. First of all, I'm not really a huge fan of sports romances, though I have to say, closeted men coming out for love is one of my favorite themes. I've read some Kate McMurray in the past, but I haven't been wowed by her until now. She really hit this one out of the park! (<- see what I did there?!) Kate McMurray really shines with this story combining baseball and New York, two topics that she knows inside and out, with a HOT, compelling romance.
