Blurb: The only thing extroverted Nate loves more than baseball is his quiet, reserved Casey. The feeling’s mutual, thanks–but it isn’t all fun and games. A wedding planner, Casey’s booked solid during the summer months and thanks to a certain poem about the Mudville Nine, cringes at the thought of ball games. Fair’s fair–with seven older sisters who redefined “wedding drama”, Nate freezes at the thought of tying the knot. Casey might wish things were different, but he wouldn’t trade Nate, his big heart, or his skills between the sheets for a wedding worthy of a Rockefeller.

After losing a strip poker bet, Casey’s promised forfeit is spending a full day at a softball tournament. He’s sure there’s more going on than a simple sports wager and wonders what Nate’s up to, but he’s curious enough to jump in and commit. And so, finally, is Nate, who’s planning a surprise involving an engagement ring and a proposal from the pitcher’s mound.

But things don’t go quite according to scheme for the odd couple when Nate takes his lover out to the ball game. And who knows what might happen when Casey’s called up to bat?

Review:

This was cute!  Was in the mood for something “romantic and sexy” and this hit the spot perfectly. Thank you, Will Parkinson, for the recommendation.

This was not a complicated story; just something simple and fun and is told all in one day when Casey has to attend Nate’s ball tournament because he lost a challenge…did I mention that Casey hates sports?  Especially baseball?

Casey and Nate are already an established couple at the beginning of the book, and while I usually don’t like reading stories like that, Casey and Nate were just too cute for me not to love.

There was no angst at all…but lots and lots of sweet (and salty) Caramel Poppernutter Crunch.  Plus a sweet and sweaty (salty) romance too.

There was A LOT of sex!  I admit that much of it was HOT, but it did get a bit over the top with all the near public sex.

The ending was a bit predictable, but ohmyfreakinggod was it adorable!

Totally recommended for when you are in the mood for something “romantic and sexy”…

Overall Impression: I Really Liked It!
