Going All the Way

I liked the idea of this book. I love sports romance. I love a heroine with drive and determination. This book gives you both of those things. But, I felt that both characters were static. They seemed so flat and hard to relate to. Jason is the cliche bad boy athlete; Stacia is the girl determine to prove everyone wrong. There is lots of heat between the two (seriously-they kind of use sex as an ice breaker!) but I didn't believe in the relationship. Like, I kind of felt that if we were to check on them in 5 years or something they would be bitter and separated.
So, why 3 stars? Again, its a sports romance and Ryder did a great job with the baseball stuff. I enjoyed that it was baseball and not football or hockey (because seriously there are like a million books of those 2 sports). I loved that Stacia was so determined and tenacious. The story isn't poorly written or anything; I just think it could have been better. But, if you love baseball, badly behaving athletes and smart, independent women, you will enjoy this book.
