LOVE ISN'T A GAME . . .

I’ve given up everything for the chance to play major league baseball. Everything. Now I’m so close I can practically hear the crowd chanting my name. There’s nothing that could take my dream away from me . . .

Unless I lose focus. And Ainsley Burke is the most beautiful, distracting woman I’ve ever met. When I’m with her, I can’t think of anything else.

But no matter how much I want Ainsley, there’s no room for love in my game plan. I can give her a quick tour of the bases, but that’s it. Then I have to let her go. If she wants to think I’m a love ’em and leave ’em player, fine.

All dreams require sacrifice. I just wish this one didn’t mean tearing out my own heart.

Kim's Review

Heidi McLaughlin's "Home Run" is the second tale in The Boys of Summer series, but you can read it as a standalone, I did. Cooper Bailey is in Florida for Spring Training. The team's front office has arranged for the team to go down to the local zoo and spend the day with a bunch of underprivileged 3rd graders. Ainsley Burke has given up so much lately. She had to leave her position working with the giraffes to work a desk job in the front office when her mom got sick with cancer. Ainsley catches Cooper's eye at the zoo, and her hold doesn't seem to lessen after he leaves. Can the baseball player win over the zookeeper? Will Ainsley's mom kick cancer's butt? Find out this and more in this awesome read!!!
