Review
This has a strong start, I was loving the angst, but once they started their friendship with benefits, the story lost a bit of steam for me. However, Brittainy Cherry did a fantastic job with the depression representation. I’ve never read a more accurate and relatable description, having struggled with it myself. Well done, Brittany!

As a female coach, I’ve always lived by a simple mantra: throw hard, swing for the fences, and never, ever look back–especially when it comes to past flames.
So when my ex-boyfriend somehow manages to land the job as my new assistant coach, my life is flipped upside down. The game I thought I’d mastered is now being played with a whole new set of rules.
My ex is baseball’s all-star Nathan Pierce. He’s tall, dark, and undeniably handsome. He’s also all too eager to spend extra hours working together while flashing that familiar devilish smirk of his that still sends my heart racing.
Between playful teasing and lingering stares I discover that Nathan isn’t just here to work. He’s here to rewrite history. Our history.
And when fate throws another curveball involving me needing a place to stay, Nathan offers up his spare bedroom, which sends me spiraling into emotions I believed had long since faded.
Now I’m faced with the ultimate decision: keep it professional and continue fleeing from our past, or confront it head-on by playing the game he thinks we were meant to finish together.
