He's a game she never intended to play, and she's the game changer he never knew he needed. When Cassie meets rising baseball hopeful Jack, she is determined to steer clear of him and his typical cocky attitude. But Jack has other things on his mind ... like getting Cassie to give him the time of day. Sometimes life gets ugly before it gets beautiful ...
I was reading this and I was waiting for the "big conflict" that always comes. I thought it was this one thing, but it wasn't. Then, I thought it was this other thing, and then it wasn't. But when it came, it was not what I expected and it went beyond the extent of WTF that I expected, and it lasted, so, painfully, long. As mad as I was, I was more sad and could not fight they tears when they came. If I can be made to feel real emotion for characters, then I obviously developed a relationship with them, so I say, "Good Job, J. Sterling". I feel in love with Cassie and Jack and all their friends. I loved reading as their relationship grew and flourished and broke and healed and how they helped each other overcome such huge issues. At one point, I was slightly overwhelmed, but I am glad I stuck with them. I will be starting the next book tonight.
