The Perfect Ball Player *winks*

The Perfect Game

J. Sterling

I love baseball! Yuppers, I do! And stories about hot baseball player! UMMM --- Yummm, yes please!

Nevertheless ball players, well they are Ass Holes. With a capital Hole... No freakin joke there!

And Carter... He is no exception to this rule.

Cassie - cute, wounded, independent, stubborn, frustrating to the point of madness. 

Carter - hot, sexy, hotness, sexy hotness, ass, arrogant, ridiculous, charming, everything that makes a girl gasp and pull their hair out (all in the same breath).

Here's the short on this little ditty:

Cassie attends a party and meets Jack Carter - Star pitcher.

Jack is your typical player and finds Cassie exceptionally fascinating... She doesn't chase him like all the other girls and they quickly fall in love, that is once they realize just how perfectly horrible they are for each other. Trust is a huge issue and well it wouldn’t be a great novel if that trust wasn’t broken (idiot).

Carter is drafted and is quickly moving his way up to the big leagues when he pitches a no-hitter and that is where this story takes a nasty heart breaking turn.

I could not put this novel down --- the angst was causing me cardiac arrest! With my heart on overload and I just wanted out!

There were some extremely sweet moments and others that were just so overwhelmingly stupid I didn't know whether to burn my kindle or suck it up and finish the book!

But I did --- because, well, I am a glutton for dramatic endings, and The Perfect Game certainly gave me that.

Interestingly enough, the author grew during this novel and her writing became more descriptive and intriguing by the end.

I want more Carter and very much so want more Cassie.

I really, really hope the sequel takes us to a beautiful place and leaves us completely satisfied --- because right now I just kinda like --- huh... that's it??

Even so, lovely book with some fantastic dialog that is fo sho! 

The "Where the hell have you been?" Post

Well…

It’s been a while. No lie there.

Life. Real Life. Tends to abruptly hit you in the face and the only response is either to run or act. I chose to act. Go me. 

Unfortunately, that meant the things I love to do … aka reading and blogging and blubbering about randomness … kinda took the back saddle for a bit. But I simply cannot allow the start of a new year to pass me by without having a meaningful moment with my small-time blog.

In March of 2012 an eccentric and hands down the most ‘lovable’ man I have ever known passed away. Upon my father’s all too soon departure… I began to bury myself in books. My older, wiser sister (no offense to the rest of ‘em *winks*), is a fantastic writer and has read many-o books that she lovingly allowed me to borrow.

I will not lie. For the first time, in March of 2012, I read the Twilight series. Now --- I understand that I jumped on the Edward Pony Express a little late, but still I enjoyed every second! Not to mention my sister responded to every text message and phone call, never showing her annoyance when I would holler about how stupid Bella was/is!

From there things went cray. I will not go on and on about the many of authors and characters I fell in love with, but I will name my top five or ten… We will see how that goes anywho. ;)
