Summary:

Fight for your dreams, even if it means breaking a few rules.

Seventeen-year-old Ryan Russell has life perfectly planned. If she keeps up her hard work, one day she’ll take over the family business: owning the Buckley Beavers, a minor league baseball team, and become one of the only female General Managers in the sport.

But when the newest member of the Beavers, child-phenom Sawyer Campbell, shows up, Ryan’s carefully laid plans are thrown a major curveball. Sawyer is far more charming than the arrogant jocks she usually manages, his ambition rivals her own workaholic nature—and he’s completely out of bounds. Fraternizing is against every rule in the Beaver’s handbook.

Then Ryan’s divorced parents butt heads over the future of the Beavers, and her mom plans to sell her shares to a business group known for relocating teams. If this happens, Ryan’s dreams of becoming GM disappear. In a bid to save her future, she partners with Sawyer to use his star power to draw in sponsors who will keep the team in Buckley. But the more time she spends with him, the more impossible it becomes to play by the Beaver’s rules, and she can’t afford a strikeout on the path to her dreams.

Full count with two outs, Ryan’s one pitch away from losing the whole ball game.

My Thoughts:

This was my first book by Becky and I loved it. The story that she told was one that kept me interested till the very end. With summer now upon us, this would be a perfect beach read.

Ryan and Sawyer have an instant connection and it was lovely to see them come together.

Ryan’s parents are divorced but they own a minor league baseball team. Ryan wants nothing more then to become a manager of a baseball team when she graduates. There’s one downside, there’s a strict no dating the players policy. That’s ok until Sawyer comes along. Ryan cant help but be drawn to him.

I loved this book. I used to play baseball and enjoy watching it so to have a book that is a contemporary baseball YA book that’s the perfect book for me. If your also a fan of these type of books then this one is perfect for you.
