I've been in love with Sawyer Bennett since I was fourteen years old. Too bad I've always been in the friend-zone. Right before he leaves for spring training for the Chicago Hawks, I take a chance and make a move.
After the best night of my life, I sneak out in the night because I'm afraid I'll be rejected. Things fall apart and then he leaves.
Fast forward two years later and a chance encounter brings us face to face again, but this time I have a secret, the kind that will change our lives forever.
MeMe Eklund has always been my biggest cheerleader, and the best friend I've ever had. That is until we cross that line and things fall apart.
Playing shortstop for the Chicago Hawks has been a dream come true. Between the game I love and the women, I try to get my mind off the one person who mattered most. Imagine my surprise walking out of physical therapy and finding my best friend with a baby in her arms, one that looks a lot like me.
As we navigate these new waters our feelings grow, but when someone tries to throw us a curveball are we strong enough to knock it out of the park or will we strike out.
This book was previously released in the Leave Me Breathless anthology, re-edited, and more goodness included.
A Midwesterner and a readaholic most of her life until one day an idea came into Evan’s head and a writing career was born. She's a sucker for happily ever afters and loves creating fictional worlds that others can get lost in. She loves putting her characters through the ringer, but loves when they get to that satisfying, swoony ending.
When the voices in her head give it a rest, which isn’t often, she can always be found with her e-reader in her hand. Some of her favorites include, Aurora Rose Reynolds, (the queen) Kristen Ashley, Kaylee Ryan, Natasha Madison, and Harper Sloan. Evan finds a lot of her inspiration in music, movies, TV shows and life.
She's a wife to Jim and a mom to Ethan and (the real) Evan, a weightlifter, a home healthcare scheduler, and a full-time author. How does she do it? She'll never tell.
HOSTED BY:
This is a story that previously published but the author has added parts to it and updated it. It was a first time read for me. It is a stand alone book and I liked it but I had some issues with the male lead, Sawyer.
It is a best friend to lover's romance with lots and lots of angst. They share a one-night stand, and she runs away from dealing with the one night and then discovers she is pregnant. The book then picks up after she gives birth and is raising her child. She runs into Sawyer, and he realizes he has a kid and thats when I started to enjoy the book.
I felt in this story both leads were so immature. SO! She runs away and he runs away, then she runs away, and he runs away too. They both love each other but I felt they were not really ready for each other at times as they had a hard time facing up to what they felt and their actions.
I will say that there were times my heart hurt for MeMe. Sawyer wants more with her but he also likes to drown his fears and sorrow with casual sex and at times MeMe sees or hears that and it really hurts her. This was a lot of the angst in this story.
I also felt that how MeMe deals with her child and her baby daddy was very immature. And I felt that Sawyer and his mom just accepted that and never seemed angry about the time they missed with the baby.
But after they meet up again and start to get to know each other and let down some of their walls was the best part of the story. They had a unique relationship and I really enjoyed getting to know each other as they have grown up a bit throughout this story.
I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
