***3.5 Stars***
I find myself in a bit of a conundrum over this book. Overall I enjoyed the book. It was a cute, fun, low on angst romance with fun and interesting characters. But it wasn’t a book that made me feel that putting the book down would be the end of the world, and when I did, I didn’t feel the urge to pick it right back up. It’s strange situation to be in, but the book was simply an easy, enjoyable read for me, but not much more.
Even though I didn’t get fully attached to Hancock or Sway, I really did like them both. Sway’s got a lot of moxie. I loved her sass and how hard she worked to achieve her goals. Hancock was definitely a determined alpha male with a sweet side. He definitely got his cocky on when the situation called for it, but he never ventured into the jackass zone ~ at least when the situation didn’t call for it. Their journey to their HEA was sweet, funny and low on angst. I loved their bantering and how, after a few missteps, they got to know each other. But with that said, I feel as if something was missing and can’t put my finger on what. They hit all the important relationship/getting to know you points, but I needed just a little more...something. In the end, though, I liked them together and was happy where they were at relationship wise in the end.
This was my first Lani Lynn Vale book and I did enjoy it. It took me a bit to get into the book in the beginning because things felt a bit choppy, but after a few chapters things smoothed out for me and I ended up enjoying her writing style and voice. While Hancock and Sway’s relationship was low on angst, that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any drama in the book and while one had me shaking my head, none were entirely unrealistic. Though my feelings towards this book are scattered it was a fun read and I’ll be looking into checking out more the author’s books.

Baseball is life, the rest is just details.
Everyone who’s played the game has heard those words a time or two. But Hancock has heard them his entire life from his parents. His family has lived and breathed baseball even before he started little league.
Hancock “Parts” Peters has a name that inspires grins across many faces, but the moment those faces get their first look at him, those grins slide away.
Hancock is gruff, filterless, and doesn’t give a crap who he offends. He is the only man in baseball who doesn’t care if he gets an endorsement or not. He’s there to play the game. He’s there to win. He’s there because baseball is his life.
People think he’s a jerk.
And maybe he is. But if that’s how he has to come off to get people to leave him the hell alone so he can play in peace, so be it. The less people he has to worry about offending, the better.

Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back.
Sway Coffman didn’t mean to rock the boat. She was just there to do her job.
Sure, she was a woman in a man’s world. Yes, she beat out several of those men to get the job as head athletic trainer for the professional baseball team, The Texas Lumberjacks. And yeah, she now got hate mail from those men.
But she’s good at her job, and she earned the position.
What she is not good at, however, is talking to men.
Men seem to see her curvy hips, large breasts and thick thighs and automatically think she is incompetent. Because surely a fat girl couldn’t get the job treating some of the most fit and athletic men in the world, right?
Wrong.
This fat girl got the job, and she is proud of it.
What else did she get?
The attention of the sexiest bearded man she’d ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on.
It was enough to bring to her down to her knees…in front of that man, the hot and grumpy baseball player, Hancock Peters.
