Ohhh I knew Brady’s story would be sweet and a little sad. His back story will pull all your heartstrings and make you really want to give him a hug. After injuring his elbow in a game, Brady meets Riley, the girl he didn’t know he was looking for. She doesn’t know she needs him in her life either. They begin a casual relationship with a rule to not reveal any intimate details about each other. This of course doesn’t work in the long run and thus begins the twists and turns of the storyline as they make their way to each other.
Brady would be an easy character to not like on the surface, but you realize quickly that he is deep down a sweetheart with so much in his past stacked against him. This story will leave you with all the feels and a smile on your face with the sweet ending.
This book is emotional, and sweet and all the things a good romance book should be. I really enjoyed it!
I can’t get enough of Samantha Christy.
This is a repeat read for me of Benching Brady. She was one of the first romance authors I’d ever read so I didn’t know about the importance of leaving reviews.
This book is seriously everything. You really will laugh, cry, hurt, cheer, and fall madly in love with Brady and Rylee.
Samantha Christy is a phenomenal author when it comes to communicating the ugliness and pain of real life while still giving the reader an escape and hope for the good to come.
This book is seriously one of the best. You’ll get it all from this story.
READ THIS! You are missing out if you don’t.
Such a heartwarming read! Both Brady and Rylee have had some traumatic events in the past, and moving on from them is challenging. Brady has a women in every city to forget, and Rylee wants nothing to do with baseball players except help with their physical therapy. A beautiful HEA.
4.5 Stars! I absolutely love Brady! Sexy, hawt and swoon as all get out! Brady and Rylee’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful. This storyline will definitely deliver on feels and chemistry. The narration was a perfect game… I highly recommend this book/audiobook.
I have to agree with other reviewers. I didn’t think I would love Brady any more the Caden, but oh did I! His character through the story changes so much it’s emotional. I love how he opens up to her and lets her see the real him. The ending was fabulous.
Cute story. Nice read
Once again Ms. Christy hits it out of the park! I have loved every single story – the Mitchell sisters, the Stone brothers, and Caden. Now, Brady’s story joins the list of my favorites. And, bonus, it is very well edited!
We met Brady in Caden’s story. It was apparent that he had something hidden deep. It just wasn’t apparent what exactly he was masking with his playboy ways. When Brady is seriously injured at the end of a near perfect game, he heads to Tampa for rehab at the team complex. There, he forms a friendship with his physical therapist – Rylee. They agree to keep personal information to a minimum, and just enjoy the sights of Tampa on a platonic, friendly basis. This being a wonderful love story – the platonic bit doesn’t last very long. Eventually, they begin a ‘no-strings’ relationship, but even then, they fail to guard their hearts. Toward the end of Brady’s stay in Tampa, a significant personal truth for Rylee comes to light, and Brady is really thrown. It looks like the end. Rylee moves to New York, and it is several months before she sees Brady again. She thinks he hasn’t reached out in the intervening months. He thinks she made moves to cut off communication. Neither are correct. Will they try again? Will Brady learn to accept Rylee’s truths? Will Brady ever let Rylee in and explain his past behaviors? Will Brady ever heal and pitch again? Will Rylee trust Brady to leave his girl-in-every-city ways behind?
As always, it is really fun to see the great characters from past books make appearances – having both major and minor influences in the story. The epilogue was just icing on the cake. I cannot recommend both this book and the entire series (beginning with Purple Orchids) enough. Definitely looking forward to Sawyer’s story. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!
Oh my this serious keeps getting better!! I love this story of Brady and Rylee!! This is an amazing book and I would recommend it..
Great read! As much as I liked book #1, Catching Caden, I loved this book. Another home run by Samantha Christy! Looking forward to hearing Sawyer’s story.
Beautiful broken Brady… keeping his pain and guilt buried deep. Rylee shook him up without really knowing it. His struggle to come to terms with his past to move on with Rylee broke my heart and then filled in the pieces. Love the continuing series with the interconnecting characters.
Loved the story, so good read it one go. Ms. Christy did again!
It’s no secret that I love just about everything that Samantha Christy has written. I love how she weaves her characters throughout her three series (The Mitchell Sisters, The Stone Brothers, and now The Perfect Game Series). Because of this, we get the opportunity to check in with characters that we already love, while getting to know in depth side characters from previous books. Brady was a teammate of Caden’s in the first book of The Perfect Game series, Catching Caden.
Based on what we had learned about Brady, I knew there was a mystery behind what drove him in his womanizer ways, and I knew it was going to be big. And it was. Rylee became Brady’s physical therapist after an injury during a game. And Rylee was the perfect complement to him. The chemistry between these two was off the charts!
The amount of research that Samantha Christy must put in to get the details correct in her novels is obvious; understanding the injuries, surgeries and procedures, therapies, baseball rules and superstitions, and so much more- all of this make her characters and plot more realistic. Her characters are likable (and lovable!) and the plot well-developed. I love how this book was broken into two parts- the first told from Brady’s point of view, and the second from Rylee’s.
Benching Brady was a hit, and I highly recommend! Now I am anxiously awaiting Sawyer’s story!
I’ve read every book by Samantha Christ and each book has outdone the one before. Benching Brady had me laughing, loving and bawling !!!
It’s an incredible read. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
Knock knock? Who’s there? Ummm this really amazing book! Samantha Christy does it again with an amazing love story that holds you and your heart captive. You will laugh and cry and everything in between! Another must read!
Samantha Christy has done it again! This book is wonderful and you will not want to put it down!! Sweet and sexy characters with an amazingly heartwarming story.
Absolutely loved this book. A real Samantha Christy masterpiece. She keeps getting better and better
