ALLISON
As Public Relations Manager for the Charleston Thrashers, I'm responsible for protecting the team's reputation. But after our right fielder gets sent to prison and we lose the World Series, my own reputation takes a huge hit. There's only one way I can save my job: by revamping Connor Whitman's tarnished ex-con image. Keeping my eye on the ball isn't a problem until I discover what's underneath his unkempt exterior—a man who's unexpectedly vulnerable and distractingly sexy. Now, my professionalism is sailing far into foul territory.
CONNOR
I've served my time, and now I'm determined to reclaim my spot in the Thrashers' outfield. Unfortunately, the new General Manager doesn't want an aging ex-con on the roster, so I have no choice but to go along with Allison's annoying scheme. Her bossiness drives me crazy—but so do her legs and her hair and her all-too-rare smiles. I can't afford to fall for anyone when my focus needs to be on baseball, but love is a game I've never played before, and for the first time ever, I'm out of my league.

4 1/2 Stars for this easy read!
After spending two years in jail all Connor wants is to play right field for the Charleston Thrashers again, but the team’s new General Manager has no interest in hiring him. When the new GM tries to fire Allison (the team’s PR person), she makes a deal with him ... if she can get Charleston fans to accept Connor back in the fold, that she gets to keep her job. Even though all the players call her “robot”, Allison starts to have feelings towards Connor as she works with him to improve his image.
I loved the characters in this book. Connor was quite grumpy at first, but it didn’t take long for his gruff exterior to evaporate. Allison is this badass that has all these tough baseball players scared of her ... loved it! And yet the relationship between Allison and her grandfather just melted my heart. The banter between all the characters was very realistic ... especially the grandfather ... he reminded me of my dad when he was in the nursing home. A great book that shouldn’t be missed.
