After a lifetime of neglect and sorrow, Miles Farriston has hit rock bottom after his lying ex-girlfriend proves that no one in his life sticks around. On the outs with his friends, in jeopardy of losing his baseball career and this close to getting kicked out of Kappa Eta Sigma, Miles is forced to compete in the Greek Life dance competition. What he didn’t bank on was getting bright, cheery … Chloe Trabucco as a partner.
Ballet, friends and her sorority. The only three things Chloe Trabucco wants to focus on and excel at. So when she is asked to compete, as a freshman, in the popular Greek dance competition, she couldn’t be happier. That is, until she learns Miles is her partner. The same Miles she’s had a huge crush on for half of her life, and the same guy who made it clear more than a year ago that he wants nothing to do with her.
Her positivity and patience annoy him. His attitude and anger finally drive her to the breaking point. Can they hit a home run, both on and off the dance floor, or will they go down swinging?

Spanish & English Opinion :: 3.5
ESP ::
Segundo libro de la serie. Seguimos con el tema deportivo, pero se junta con el baile. Me gustó mucho lo de Dancing with the Greeks.
Farris y Chloe son la pareja. Ella es divina aunque definitivo, demasiado buena. De repente me daban ganas de decirme que ya no diera oportunidades.
Él la verdad, muy patán y geocéntrico. Ok, reconoce sus errores pero se queja demasiado de cómo la vida es injusta y justifica sus actitudes.. aunque se reivindica… pero pudo rogar más.
ENG ::
The second book of the series and we keep the sport topic, but with dancing. I loved the “Dancing with the Greeks” competition.
Farris and Chloe are the main couple now. She’s really nice and forgiving, so much that I wanted to tell her to stop. Anyway, loved her family also.
Farris was a jerk. Self centered and always complaining about how life is unfair and he justified his actions often because of this. He redeems himself but more groveling would have been ok.
I don’t think I realized just how much this book captured my imagination, heart, and mind in the process. I think, from the time I opened Carrie Aaron’s book until the end, a mere 24 hours had passed with little to now sleep in between! So addictive was this story and the whole In Fence series!!
There is something so eloquent and romantic in a tale about a troubled and lost hero and a light sweet, optimistic heroine that tries to pull him out of his self-enforced darkness and with Hitting to Win that is exactly what we got just with innumerable layers and depths to the whole plot. It’s very much character driven but when your hero is a baseball star in the making with an incredibly disturbing home-life and dismal outlook on life in general and your heroine is beyond intelligent but has so much compassion and loyalty to those around her.
I didn’t think I could like Minka and Owen’s story more but Miles and Chloe’s story was so different and just so amazingly sweet! I mean, who can love a guy for years, decades, when he’s barely noticed her and when he finally did, he was nothing but an ass to her. I found myself teary-eyed in this book way more than Pitching. It just seemed Miles was self-destructive! Chloe was one strong, determined lady!
Miles needs someone to lean on. He is broken and battered but he’ll never let anyone in. Not even Owen, his best friend, knows what going on. He certainly won’t share it with the hoity toity princess.
Princess, otherwise known as Chloe, has always worked hard for her dreams. She always believes in the best of people. She has always had a crush on Miles.
Things will change for both of them.
I needed to know Miles’ story. In Pitching, my heart broke for this obviously damage soul. I am so glad he finally learned to open up. I like Miles, I still think he needs a good crack in the back of the head until the end.
I look forward to Clint’s story. I hope he gives Kelsey the kick in the butt she needs.
