I have one more year of baseball eligibility left. One more year to show the major league scouts that I’m worth it. That I’m good enough to play professional baseball for them. But honestly, I’m not sure that I am. So far, not a single scout has approached me.

Nick Fisher is State's most eligible bachelor - confident, creative, and driven - and is completely aware that every girl he knows is trying to land him. But Nick is more than the marketing genius everyone sees on the outside. In fact, his life is far more complicated than anyone suspects...even his own brothers. Jess Michaelson knows she shouldn't want Nick like all the other girls do, but she's crazy about him anyway.

Story
They say you always want what you can't have. And what I want is Julia La Bella. I'm supposed to hate her with every fiber of my being, but I'll let you in on a little secret.... I don't. Not even close. The woman is stunning. She's also a colossal pain in my...you-know-what. Julia's my number-one competitor in the wine industry and she also happens to live next door. Not a good combination for a guy who's been told to "stay away from her" his whole life. Our parents can't stand each other: a bitter, outdated rivalry with no end in sight.

Am I friends with JP Cane? Ha! That's laughable. Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can't be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we're not friends. He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons...multiple times a day. So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we're sharing the same air, 24-7. We're talking full-fledged working roommates.

I knocked up my best friend's sister. Let's start with how she decided to inform me and Pacey the news...together. Imagine that nightmare. I was going into what I thought was a hockey marketing meeting, and then bam! I'm going to be a dad and my best friend/teammate is attempting to imprint my face with his fist. Threats were tossed around, friendships were revoked, and then I was marched up to her apartment, suitcases in hand, and forced to live with her so I could take care of her every need. Now I'm finding it harder and harder not to fall for my best friend's little sister.

Hockey star Max Yearwood was everything I needed at the time - fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months, since he’d signed with a new team 3,000 miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

As the most hated player in baseball, I had two options: either clean up my image, or pack my bags. Being traded wasn't an option which only meant one thing, I had to become compliant. That's how I found myself sharing a small bistro table with Kate Chapman, the Chicago Bobbies newest PR Manager. Devastatingly beautiful, vastly intelligent, and incredibly cunning, she knows exactly how to handle my grumpy demeanor. It was supposed to be simple. Book some PR events, show up, smile for the camera, and be done. But one massive mistake on my end sends me into the trenches with Kate.

I have one rule: I don't do relationships. The last thing I need in my life is a woman trying to tie me down. There was only one woman I’d ever considered breaking my rule for. That was, until I received her wedding invitation in the mail. I learned my lesson after that, and I don’t make the same mistake twice. I reinforced my walls and never considered letting them down again. Not even for the mysterious, gorgeous new woman in town. Friends, I can do. Friends with benefits, even better. But that’s where I draw the line. Problem is, Devin is standing on the other side of it.

Breaking news: The bad boy of baseball, Maddox Paige, is totally and utterly whipped. Okay, that might not be the headline in the newspaper this morning, but it's the reality of my current situation. It all started a month ago when I received a call from my best friend, Kinsley. She’d gotten a new job in Chicago and needed a place to stay. I've known the girl since I was five, so I figured there wouldn't be any harm in having her stay at my place for a while. Ha! Total disaster.

Publisher's Summary
The most anticipated J. Sterling release of the year is finally here! You’ve waited years to meet Jack Carter’s son, and the wait is over! Strap in and enjoy the ride.
Chance Carter is the son of local baseball legend Jack Carter. Now in his junior year at Fullton State, Chance is facing challenges he never saw coming. Failing a class will stop his draft season short, making him ineligible to play and pushing his goal of professional baseball even further away.
In steps Danika, a mouthy tutor from New York, who only wants to help him pass his class...not get in his pants. But try telling that to Chance. He doesn’t trust girls, and he definitely doesn’t trust his new tutor. A lifetime growing up as a Carter taught him that.
But Danika has issues of her own. After an incident that happened last year, she doesn’t trust athletes and wants nothing to do with them. And Chance is no exception.
The fireworks explode as the two try to deny the chemistry between them and family secrets are revealed. Chance doesn’t know how to give up on something he wants, and he’s decided he wants Danika. There’s just one problem...she has a boyfriend with whom she has no intention of breaking up.
How can he have her when she belongs to someone else?

Pretty good read
I really liked the story and the female narrator was amazing. However the male narrator had some difficulty. I had trouble differentiating between different characters, especially with the female characters. Also he didn’t use a NY accent for Danika or her Dad, which was strange because he used it once when he spoke as Danika’s Dad. He also had this weird breathing thing that was really distracting. Otherwise I really liked the book.

Hmmm, emotional cheating is still cheating
Hated pretentious storyline. Really it's the same old story about hot jock gets an immediate boner for the smart hot girl and they call it love. The caveat in this story is that the FMC is a cheater who criticize everyone else's actions but herself.
- All of the characters, were one dimensional and unlikable.
- The references to his parents love story confusing.
- Is she really going to forgo a degree to follow this guy around while he farms?... pathetic!
- A cross country real estate job proposal is not feasible, as each state in US requires a state license. NY does have a few reciprocity agreements but not with major states. Ergo, she would need to obtain 40+RE licenses - not possible.
The narration was AWFUL! OMG that horrible off/ on fake NY accent. Was that supposed to be NJ or Brooklyn coming out the mouth of a gal from the upper East side Manhattan? Who could tell what she was trying to sound like. I had to skip through most of the female's chapters or I was going to pull my hair out!
If you don't read a lot of romance then you might like it. If you do move on there is way better stuff to spend your time on.

it was refreshing to hear the perspective of a guy who doesn't want all the attention he got from girls just for his fame. What was over the top was his reluctance in relationships yet he knew what he was doing romantically without the experience.

Meh
The characters were difficult to invest into, struggled to finish and just stopped listening at the last chapter. I really just did not care what happened to them.
The narration was also just Meh. The male sounded forced and monotone and the female, while having a lovely voice, could not stick to an accent.
I disliked both the writing and the narration equally.

I like both books recommend them but they are long they give you a necessary information OK that you don’t want to hear the narrators especially the second book it was just so dry and so drawn out almost stopped listening but overall performance of not only this book and the other book was good because it held it does hold your interest and you want to find out how it ends that’s why you hold on listening

Chance & Danika
A witty, charming, sweet, and heartwarming story of two people that certainly belonged together. Chance and Danika have a beautiful connection that tugs at your heartstrings. It was not all roses, they did have some bumps in their journey but they talked things out like adults. I absolutely adored this story.

Pitch, can ch, bat …
J Sterling not only is two-thirds through another baseball series but has continued a multigenerational baseball saga. The name of the game is baseball and the intense college draft. Sterling has done in depth research in the professional sport of Baseball and all the emotions , trials, tribulations and impact baseball draft has on individuals as each prepares to hopefully achieve life as pro-athletes, families, spouses, close friends and more.
Excellently narrated with expressions of every emotion encountered by Meg Sylvan & Oliver Clarke.
I’m excited to engulf “Safe at First”, the third and final story in this series.
I anxiously wait to see how she continues developing the Carter family members! Will offspring continue in baseball as players, the many aspects of baseball business, other professional sports, and the wide, deep emotions of supporting families/friends?
Each of J Sterling’s stories can be enjoyed alone; I love reading a series in order to fully ingest her character development.
Sterling did it again; another fascinating, emotionally gripping contemporary romance!!!
