Playing the Field (Trouble with Tomboys Series, #3)

by Christina Benjamin

Do stolen bases lead to stolen hearts?

Tomboy Alex Prince is used to crushing her competitors, but crushing on one? That’s another story. Grant King is everything she could want in a boy; popular, handsome, funny and captain of the baseball team. Best of all, he seems to be into her. At least that’s what she thinks after their secret almost kiss on the first day of school.

Too bad they’re about to become rivals . . .

Grant King is kicking himself for making his no-girlfriend pledge when he meets sassy transfer student, Alex Prince. Not only is she gorgeous, witty and full of confidence, she’s into baseball! She’s his dream girl. But she’s also the competition!

Their budding romance is thrown a curveball when Alex finds out her new high school doesn’t have a softball team. If she wants to play, she must compete for a coveted spot on the boys’ team, against her would-be crush, Grant King.

Love is a battlefield . . . or in their case, a baseball field. Can these unlikely enemies fight their feelings while fighting for a spot on the team, or will they break all the rules for love?

A sweet stand-alone high school sports romance.

Fun Sporty HS Romance. Fun and light, this book has been - along with its predecessors in the trilogy - a nice change of pace from the more "serious" books I've been reading of late, and this is one of the reasons I love this style of tale. Fair amount of angst here - these *are* teens we're dealing with - and some pretty awesome pranking going on in this particular book. Overall it stays true to everything about the tale, even including a healthy respect for baseball and its traditions. Truly a great book, and now I have yet another new author to follow. Very much recommended.
