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?

Behind the Plate
Chance is hoping that he is going to be drafted into the big leagues. As the son of a baseball legend and an all-star in his own right, there is a lot of expectation he will be drafted. The only thing he did not see coming was the failing grade in math which will end his season and his eligibility to be drafted. Danika is one of the more popular tutors on campus. She does not trust athletes and Chance is no exception. After finally agreeing to tutor Chance, Danika makes it clear they are only going to be friends. Chance now has to figure out how to pass math and convince Danika that he is better for her than her current boyfriend.
Behind the Plate is a slow burn sports romance in the Boys of Baseball series. I will be totally honest as I had no idea who Jack Carter was going into this book but now want to go back and read his story after reading about the Carter family and their love. I enjoyed that Chance was sweet with a little bit of cocky thrown in but not the playboy that most all athletes seem to be. Danika is a no-nonsense girl a New York attitude and I am glad that she got out of the toxic relationship she was in. The sexual tension made the slow burn so worth the build-up. I can not wait to see what comes next from this series.
