Review

The dialogue was cute. The plot moved at a reasonable pace. The characters have chemistry, but the story was lacking. Flynn was the highlight of the book for me. I loved that he always acknowledged that Olivia was a mom first and included Greer often. The goldenest of golden retrievers! Overall, It is a good book but nothing really special stands out.

“Sure, Hotshot. You throw a no-hitter, and I’ll go out with you.”

“A person’s name is usually the least interesting thing about them, so if you’re only offering a few pieces of information, I want the ones that tell me more about who you really are.”

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 4 in the Holland Brothers Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone, but for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order.

Blurb

One night—that’s all it was supposed to be. No names. No complications.

And now? He’s everywhere.

In every trending video.

In all the news headlines.

On every freaking billboard.

Turns out, he’s not just some guy. He’s Flynn Holland, Lake City’s new hotshot pitcher. The one that’s supposed to end our team’s fifty-year championship drought (the same way I’ve fantasized about him ending mine).

As if that weren’t bad enough, my daughter loves him and he’s the poster boy for my rival bookstore.

Flynn’s perfect smile is plastered all over town, selling their books, like some kind of traitorous golden boy—while he’s over here giving me his best game.

Pass. I’ve had enough heartbreak for two lifetimes.

But then he looks at me, and I forget how to breathe.

Not to mention, he’s so good with my little girl, it’s downright unfair.

He’s maddeningly gorgeous, ridiculously persistent, and dragging me straight into his spotlight.

I need him to stay away—before I do something I’ll regret.
