About the author
Sherryl Woods
557 books4,537 followersWith two other careers to her credit before becoming a novelist and four states in which she's lived for extended periods of time, Sherryl Woods has collected friends and memories, along with way too much unnecessary junk.
"The friends are the only things I've brought with me through the years that really matter," she says. "I could probably live without one more chintz teacup, another tin-litho sandpail or another snowglobe, but I need those friends."
The theme of enduring friendships and families is always central to Sherryl's books, including her latest Chesapeake Shores series — THE INN AT EAGLE POINT, FLOWERS ON MAIN and HARBOR LIGHTS.
Author of more than 100 romance and mystery novels, Sherryl Woods grew up in Virginia. Over the years she had lived in Ohio and Florida, as well as California. Currently she divides her time between Key Biscayne, Florida and Colonial Beach, Virginia, the small, river-front town where she spent her childhood summers.
A graduate of Ohio State University School of Journalism, Sherryl spent more than ten years as a journalist, most of them as a television critic for newspapers in Ohio and Florida. For several years she also coordinated a motivational program for the more than 8,000 employees at the University of Miami-Jackson Memorial Medical Center.
Her first book, RESTORING LOVE, was published in 1982 by Dell Candlelight Ecstasy under the pseudonym of Suzanne Sherrill. Her second book, SAND CASTLES, under the pseudonym of Alexandra Kirk, was published later that same year by Bantam. She began using her own name when she moved to the Second Chance at Love line at Berkley Publishing. In 1986, she began writing full-time and also began her long career at Silhouette Books with the Desire title NOT AT EIGHT, DARLING, set in the world of television which she covered for so many years.
In addition to her more than 75 romances for Silhouette Desire and Special Edition, she has written thirteen mysteries — nine in the Amanda Roberts series and four in the Molly DeWitt series.
When she's not writing or reading, Sherryl loves to garden, though she's not at her best on a riding lawn mower. She also loves tennis, theater, and ballet, even though her top spin has long since vanished, she's never set foot on a stage, and she's way too uncoordinated to dance. She also loves baseball and claims anyone who's ever seen Kevin Costner in "Bull Durham" can understand why.

The plot and language in this book was so dumb, but it did have a good lesson about being okay with feeling your emotions. So I guess it wasn’t a total waste of time to read.
Jack bought me this book at a Buffalo Exchange because apparently they have a smut collection? It was definitely steamy, but not nearly as graphic as other books I’ve read.

April 20, 2023Fever Pitch by Sherryl Woods w/ bonus story Her Homecoming Wish (Gallant Lake Stories #3) by Jo McNally
409-page Paperback story ends on 169
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Featuring: Baseball Players, Single Mom, Best Friend's Ex Trope, Book Preview - Home in Carolina (The Sweet Magnolias #5) 2 pages
Rating as a movie: PG-13?
My rating: DNF on page 26 Ch. 2
My thoughts: Page 26 of 169/409 Ch. 2 - Nope, this is dated and not my cup of tea. I couldn't believe the original cover. I never would have picked it up based on that. My cover has a white porch with 2 white rocking chairs and lavender flowers.
Why I quit: I don't even know what trope this is. It's the one where your best friend is unfaithful and leaves his wife and kid, and years later, she still blames you, but you have a thing for her. Not exactly friends or enemies, and since the friend ghosted everyone, is it even forbidden love? I'll never know.
Recommend to others?: I don't know.

Ugh. I was tricked into buying a Harlequin romance. It wasn't until I went to list it on here and saw it's original mass market cover, that I knew what they had done. Shame. I didn't get too far into it, and DNF. It seemed predictable.

Meh. It was fine. Definitely felt 80-90s vibes in the writing funnily enough.

Easy read and predictable

Cute little love story. It's fun to read books written in other decades and remember how things were different - excitement about cell phones, kids playing catch in the yard.
