A Whole New Game
Growing up, Corey Johnson was the guy of my dreams. Handsome, athletic, smart, and surprisingly kind to me-- his best friend's quirky little sister. I worshiped the ground the baseball star walked on, and it seemed like he and I might one day become more than friends.
But that was before Corey did something I will never be able to forget... or forgive.
Years later, I get my dream job working as the social media coordinator for my favorite professional baseball team. My life seems to finally be on the upswing. Until the team trades for... you guessed it... Corey freaking Johnson.
Now, I have to work with the man who broke my heart. I'm determined to keep my distance. But Corey seems to have other ideas...

This was seriously such a good book. I really loved all the characters in it, but I especially fell hard for Carlee and Corey. I'm not even into the sports, and I was all in for the baseball drama and fell in love with all the players on the Lonestars. And it's so fun to see characters from previous series. I am so excited for the rest of the books in this series and to get to know the other characters more. This is definitely one I will read again and again for all the happy feels.

Please research the sport you are writing about...
The story line was good, I liked that Corey was flawed in real ways that isn't often seen in books...HOWEVER...The glaring grammatical errors and the just complete lack of knowledge of how the sport the author is writing about works is distracting at best. Simple terms that any baseball fan would know, simple positions on a baseball team, how those positions are played, The "World Series" for example was originally described as possibly Corey's last game but then that the series was 3-2 in favor of the Lonestars...and the outcome. Series are best of 7. So it's just simple editing and lack of sports knowledge that is annoying. It's not called a "tournament" BTW and a catcher would NEVER kneel behind the plate. If this book had editors they let the author down. People who are sports fans and specifically baseball fans are going to notice a whole story rife with errors.

a fun read
McKenna combined two of my faves, baseball and love! Fans of Britt McKenna will love this book and can consider it a MUST read! FMC is America’s sweetheart and totally crushing on her older brother’s best friend, the MMC. MMC has great character growth and highlights rarely talked about realities for some of America’s youth. What sets this book apart is our MMC learning to accept what’s behind him in order to be able to embrace what’s in front.

Carlee & Corey
4.5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Perfect balance of everything you want in a sports romance!
I love the honesty about feelings not wasting a whole book on revealing feelings to each other makes it more interesting, brothers best friend trope with baseball. Not much spice but it was a good enough story without it!

Good read
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were wonderful, loving and protective of each other. The family and friends were great. This was a real feel good story with a great concept and very well written.

This is a sweet book. I wish we got more glimpses of them as friends, but not imperative for the story.
Not a super angsty or spicy book, but would recommend.
Tropes:
Brother's Best Friend
Childhood Friend's

Fun but overall really maddening. Got whiplash from the constant personality changes and jumping timeline.

Corey, Carlee and her older brother grew up together. Corey had a horrible drunk father. While Carlee’s family provided some family time and food for Corey, but he hid even more issues. He grows into an amazing pitcher with lousy people skills. Ends up with a last ditch opportunity back with team that Carlee is Social Messaging lead for. This is their second chance love story as they learn more about each other, still lots of poor communication skills. Fraternization rules create some issues. It is a good story, but it needs some tightening up and stronger storyline vs excuses for sex scenes.
