Publisher Description
Ten years ago, Dylan McCormick and Maggie Jennings were two eighteen-year-olds in love.
With a cold father and absent mother at home, he was drawn to her warmth, her humor, and her kindness. She was the best thing that had ever happened to him. But then he had to let her go so she could have a chance at a better life. One that didn't involve late-night diners and rusted out cars and counting pennies. And so, he shattered his own heart to give her a chance at something more.
Maggie thought Dylan would be her future, not her past. But for ten years now, that's where he's been—until he gets traded to the Dallas Longhorns, the pro baseball team Maggie works for. And she can see firsthand that the boy she once loved is now a man, but with the same passion for the game, the same athleticism and tenderness that drew her to him. But a decade ago, he chose baseball over her. What if he breaks her heart again?
Dylan wants a second chance with the woman he never stopped loving. And this time, he's going to fight for her.
Customer Reviews
Stealing Home
This is a very good well written book. Most of the characters are very likeable and the one that isn’t -isn’t supposed to be. The sex is hot and the characters feel real. It was a very enjoyable read. Would recommend.
Stealing Home steals your heart
Tara Wyatt’s ‘Stealing Home’ grips you from the beginning as we read both POV’s. The author has a descriptive style of writing that allows you to visually follow along.
Ten years after breaking up, they are reunited when Dylan is traded to Dallas’s Longhorns. Maggie works in PR for the team.
Dylan came from an affluent family but not loving, whereas Maggie was from the lower financial single mother class. There is hints from the start of the book that Dylan’s reason for the break up was out of his love, but Maggie has no idea until later.
I was given an advanced copy to read and provide an honest review. I definitely recommend this book for how easy it was for the reader to fall into the storyline, to imagine what it would be like to live out your own past lost love story, and the opportunity to get past old hurts. Here’s to fresh starts and “second chance seasons”. I admire the little touches Tara placed in the story to add to the lost but not forgotten love Dylan kept for Maggie.
Excellent read throughout and highly recommended.
