Matt and Alana are different people. Matt is a professional baseball player and a single father. Alana is fun loving and doesn’t want to be tied down. Can they get together?
Stopped reading it after the first two chapters. Just not worth the time investment. Got tired of the “his amazing muscles” and “her beautiful eyes” comments since there was no character development before the lust. Flipped to the end and saw it was a pretty tired ending too. Deleted it from my Kindle…
Sweet story
Enjoyed this story ve r much.
I quit reading when it became too vulgar.
Fun read couldn’t wait to read the next book in the series
A little slow at times…
I really enjoyed this book. Worth reading
The book would’ve been better if all the pages had been there. I missed a lot of story because the book was incomplete. It was an okay read. Predictable but nice.
Loved the story line and characters
Fun
I really liked the characters and the story line. Great writing!
“Fielder’s Choice” is somewhat draggy (too wordy which slows down the plot) and contains many unrealistic and unbelievable situations … yet it carries the plot to a nice conclusion.
The book could be substantially better by omitting some of the impromptu love-making situations which, presented in the timing of the plot as they are, leaves a lot to be desired.
The author seems to have forgotten that while a story may be fiction, the situations must be believable.
The author misses on so many points, yet scores enough realistic chapters to make this on many ‘must read’ lists.
If you can read through, or skim over, those unrealistic portions (and they are easy to distinguish), it’s a good read …. could be 50 pages shorter and not miss a beat.
Absolutely loved this book. The story line was interesting and a good modern day romance. Definitely for someone who also enjoys sports!
Great vacation afternoon book
Very well written and characters are very interesting and fun and unique. Love the series.
Loved the characters and story line…made me buy more in the series. Great writing. I think I found a new favorite author!!
Enjoyed and will read more of her books.
