Play The Field
I never expected to see her again.
After she broke my heart to pursue her softball career, I never wanted to see Cat Collins again.
But here she was, leaned up against the chainlink fence of the softball field.
And after an injury and a two-year bender, she was asking me to help her get her training back on track.
Could I trust her with my heart again? More importantly, I could I trust myself?
Asking Cleo for help wasn't something I ever planned on.
But after the accident, my career had taken a nose dive, and my reputation was in shambles.
If I had any hope of returning to my professional softball career, I needed to get my life on track.
So what better way to figure out what was wrong with me than going back to where it all the day I broke Cleo's heart.
Play The Field is a sapphic (NBLW), second-chance, sports romance with a HEA, a decades-old rivalry, broken hearts, mended fences, and a dugout full of steam.

September 2, 2025When it's about women's softball, and somehow the player can afford a luxury apartment in Manhattan, a Mercedes, and have paparazzi following them everywhere, it's kind of hard to imagine the author got other details correct. DNF
(For the record, the highest paying softball league in the US averages around $40,000 a year.)

The plot and characters were fun, if a little predictable, but seriously, the mistakes almost did my head in… completely wrong words, misspelling and even wrong character names, contrary to chapter headings. How is this possible?
Although I do try to enjoy Cara Porter’s works, I would respectfully suggest she either needs an editor or needs to change her current one, if there is one in place, though that would seem highly unlikely.
Good luck if you find these type of basic, easily rectified mistakes as off-putting as I do!

It's a good story.
All the they/them nonsense detracted from my enjoyment of the book. It becomes harder to enjoy the book if I have to reread a sentence three times to figure out who is talking to whom and how many people are in the conversation. I've enjoyed the series, though.
In particular, this book has some subpar editing. There are POV changes mid-paragraph and phrases that are both positive and negative in the same sentence.

Frustrating!
The lead characters were both interesting but the lack of knowledge of softball was very distracting. Scoring in softball is a run. Not a score. Ball players know how to break in a glove. The idea that Cat couldn’t makes zero sense. The black pad that covers the front of a catchers is called a chest protector. You learn that in little league. If you don’t know a sport don’t write about it. The editor should have caught all these errors.
