Publisher Description
The most anticipated J. Sterling release of the year is finally here! You've waited years to meet Jack Carter's son and the wait is over! Strap in and enjoy the ride.
Chance Carter is the son of local baseball legend, Jack Carter. Now in his junior year at Fullton State, Chance is facing challenges he never saw coming. Failing a class will stop his draft season short, making him ineligible to play and pushing his goal of professional baseball even further away.
In steps Danika, a mouthy tutor from New York, who only wants to help him pass his class... NOT get in his pants. But try telling that to Chance. He doesn't trust girls and he definitely doesn't trust his new tutor. A lifetime growing up as a Carter taught him that.
But Danika has issues of her own. After an incident that happened last year, she doesn't trust athletes and wants nothing to do with them. And Chance is no exception.
The fireworks explode as the two try to deny the chemistry between them and family secrets are revealed. Chance doesn't know how to give up on something he wants and he's decided he wants Danika. There's just one problem... she has a boyfriend she has no intention of breaking up with.
How can he have her when she belongs to someone else?
Customer Reviews
One of the best reads of the year
What do you do when you come baseball royalty... you follow in your father’s footsteps but Chance Carter is struggling in one class in his junior year at Fullton State and that could mean an the end to his career before it’s even started....
Danika is a mouthy tutor from New York who steps up to help him with that class, she doesn’t suffer fools gladly and she has no interest in getting in this mans pants, unlike most other students who seem to fall at Chance’s feet. Chance is used to girls wanting more than friendship from him and he struggles to trust this tutor who seems to be his lifeline to the draft....
What follows is two people who struggle to trust but still have amazing chemistry trying to put feelings aside so they can get the ultimate goals they desire. Chance is a guy you will fall and hard and fast for and Danika is a strong independent woman you will wish had your corner. This is one of those books that touches you on so many levels and you know just how special it is when you find yourself thinking about the romance long after the final words have been read. I smiled, I laughed, I swooned and I found myself hoping this couple got the HEA they so deserved. I loved everything about this book, I loved the knowledge of baseball, the character’s, the love, the humour and I loved catching up with Jack and Cassie Carter. Great addition to one of my favourite series
Blew my mind!
Behind the Plate blew my mind! Chance Carter’s story is absolutely amazing and getting to learn more about him and how he is around his family and teammates is incredible.
The author has written a book that will hook your attention just as it did mine and she should be incredibly proud of the words penned.
Chance, be still my beating heart. A true family person, with an absolute heart of gold. He’s thoughtful, caring and a fictional character that I grew to really love.
Danika was a breath of fresh air. A strong, capable character who had some big decisions to make. Her introduction to Chance as his math tutor is the start of a great friendship, or is it?
Truth be told I didn’t want the book to end. It was also wonderful seeing how Chance’s parents Jack and Cassie are doing. If you haven’t read their story in The Game series, I highly recommend you do.
Im honestly blown away and so excited for more of the series to come.
Hands down amazing and a definite must read.
