Reviews

[M.J. Compton · Rating 2 out of 5]

I bought a used copy of this book, based on the blurb. I did not realize it was an Inspirational romance, which is why it has two stars from me. The proselytizing got in the way of the romance and took up far more space than was warranted by the story.

[Stacy · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are really only two characters on which the author focuses so it doesn't feel choppy and thrown together. Casey Foster inherits a minor league baseball team and ends up falling in love with former major league star pitcher, Tucker Boyd. The book mostly focuses on Casey trying to gain respect as the owner of a ball team, as well as someone who knows the game, but later turns to focusing on her relationship with God. The supporting characters did their job and the plot moved along smoothly. I would have liked there to be an epilogue because it seems like the story abruptly ends but it's still a cute book.

I liked all but the end of this book when the man proposes. He dressed a clown. I've never liked clowns and I distinctly remember "re-imagining" the mascot of the team as a bear. Much less creepy.
