Thank you to Mollie Goins & Love Notes PR for the opportunity to review an ARC of this title!
I really enjoyed this one! I haven't read nearly as many baseball romances as I have hockey or football, so this was a fun change of pace for me. The characters are all so lovable - even the side characters - and the plot was cute and fun without being too overly dramatic.
Callie's ADHD (confirmed with the author) was so relatable for me, as I also have ADHD and wasn't diagnosed until adulthood so it's always nice to see that rep, especially when it's done with such attention. Callie never outright says she has ADHD, nor did any other character bring it up by name, but we see it in her actions and thoughts. It was so fun being able to find a little part of myself in Callie!
Will..... ok, swoon. What a guy. I really loved Will, even when he was making his silly little excuses like "I'll tell her brother we should stop by this tea shop because her incessant shivering is annoying me. No other reason." It was really great seeing how much attention he paid to ensuring Callie felt comfortable around him and that consent was given, especially after Callie brought up moments in her past where men had made her uncomfortable in passing.
All the way around, this was a fun read and I'd definitely read more in the series when they release in the future!
