In her own league
Reese Remmington is the first woman to own a baseball team, and there is a lot of pressure to do everything right. She is more than qualified, but when you’re a woman leading a men’s sports team, all eyes are on you. She can’t afford any distractions and has to stay fully focused on the team.
It doesn’t help that the field manager, Emmett Montgomery, is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. Everyone loves him. He’s not happy that his new boss seems to be all about numbers and money and doesn’t appear to care much about the team.
But after being forced to spend a lot of time together for work, Emmett realizes that she actually does care; she’s just afraid of making mistakes. And slowly, the spark between them becomes harder and harder to resist.
Review
I’m not always up to date with new releases, in the sense that I never really know which books are coming out in a year or even six months. So when I read the last book in The Windy City series about Rio, I thought that was it. I assumed it would be the final book in the series.
And technically, it was. This book is more of a standalone, but I still see it as part of the series anyway. So I was wrong, and I’m so happy that Liz Tomforde wrote this book.
The story is super cute, amazing, and uplifting. I’m all for girl power, especially when a woman works in a highly male-dominated field, and she’s the boss. How cool is that? I was definitely rooting for her and hating anyone who stood in her way or questioned her.
I understand why a lot of people thought she was cold, but she was just really focused on improving the team. She didn’t want any distractions, which made her come across that way, even though she wasn’t. So yeah, I really liked Reese.
And of course, I also liked Emmett. He appeared in the other books, and everyone already loves him. He’s the field manager, but the team feels like his family, which I thought was really sweet.
In my opinion, this is one of my favorite books in The Windy City series. Okay, technically, it isn’t part of the series according to Goodreads, but I’m counting it anyway.
It had everything I needed: girl power, so much chemistry, and great banter. I was eating it up. I loved this story so much.
And suddenly… I had a crush on an older man. He was basically the perfect man in my opinion, supportive, uplifting, and her biggest fan. I loved that.
