Like, they sit at the back of the tour bus, share a pair of earphones, and quietly listen to music together.

But between Kellen and Grady, it’s just cuteness all around. There’s some angst there as well because of the whole “not allowed” thing. We need more people like that in books.Īnd the romance itself is fucking adorable. But Grady, who has a crush on Kellen, is always so nice to him and tries to include him in everything that Kellen can’t help wanting to be with him.Īnd I can’t tell you how much I fucking love that this romance started because Grady is just too nice a guy to resist. So his son isn’t allowed to be close to any of the players. The coach is very strict about certain rules, and one of them is not playing favourites. The story follows Grady, the captain of the Easton University baseball team, and Kellen, coach’s son and batboy (a term that I find super weird). Genre: New-Adult, Contemporary Romance, M/M, Sports And both covers have random shirtless dudes, just with baseball bats, so I’m not posting them. There are only two of them, and you get to see the strained animosity between the protagonists of the second book in the first one.īy the way, I’m going to be reviewing both books individually because they do still have their own stories. But Brady Donovan's annoyingly perfect smile and protective nature are making that nearly impossible.Technically, the books in this series can be read as standalones, but I recommend reading them in order.

which probably includes getting too friendly with the team captain. My dad's the coach, and his number-one rule is never to play favorites. It keeps me close to the action on the field, even if that means hauling equipment, picking up sweaty jockstraps, and putting up with the players' antics. I'm working toward my statistics degree, so landing the bat-boy position with the Easton U Pirates is right up my alley. Too bad he's the coach's son and officially off-limits. Bells and whistles go off in my body, and just like that, I'm totally crushing on a guy for the first time in my life. Until Kellan Crawford walks onto the field as the team's newest bat boy. Except, things have never come together for me in the romance department. With a baseball scholarship to Easton University and awesome family and friends, my life is pretty golden.
