snaze6's review against another edition
4.0
A sports romance where the ballplayer falls for his teammate’s little sister. When Tate and Grant meet for the first time it’s both sizzling hot and hilarious. Perfect strangers who quickly learn the next day the other person is completely off limits.
I enjoyed watching Grant and Tate orbit around each other. Grant hanging out with the guys in her group of friends was a testament to his patience and determination because she continually tried his patience.
I found Tate’s life plan crazy rigid for a 20-something living in the big city. She was stubborn and determined which had helped her achieve professional success as a pediatric cardiology ICU nurse, but wasn’t doing any wonders for her personal life.
I enjoyed the slow burn of their relationship, but was really hoping to experience more on the page once they officially became a couple. We had elaborate and descriptive scenes where these two were orbiting each other, but minimal scenes of them as a couple. The storyline advances and skips forward months into the future which I appreciated; however, I would have really liked to see more of how they got to that point.
I received a free ARC from the author and Valentine PR; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.

In true R.S. Grey fashion, this book was an adorable, quick read. I devoured it in a few days. The first couple of chapters really reel you in. The problem, is by the 70% mark, Tate and Grant's initial spark does NOT deliver. The book starts out with Tate acting on a triple dog dare from her friends. No idea how old they are but if they're daring their friend to hook up with someone, I can only (hopefully) assume early to mid twenties. Tate's friends set their eyes on the hottest guy in the room and Tate walks right up to him and kisses him. She lets him in on the dare and they kinda fake sneaking off together. Fast forward another day or so when she finds out the guy she kissed is her brother's new teammate aka he's completely off limits cause she doesn't do baseball players. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. As Grant is accepted into this group of friends, he ends up spending more time with Tate. He's been curious about the mysterious girl who kissed him and ran off without even giving him her name. Tate sees Grant as this hot, mysterious, dangerous guy who she should absolutely stay away from. And she does exactly that. Even in their big group of friends, she's steers completely clear of Grant besides a few flirty DMs. She spends most of the book avoiding him and saying how bad he is for her. She even tries to date someone who is the complete opposite of Grant just to prove the good guy is who she needs and not the bad boy she thinks Grant is. When Tate finally decides to go after what she clearly wants, she basically says it's because she's in love with Grant. SAY WHAT?! Their interactions on page have been minimal at best. Chemistry? Sure. Love???? Absolutely not. They haven't even spent that much time together. It's not as if they've been hanging out as friends, getting to know each other, and while she's keeping him at arm's length happens to fall in love with him. Sis actively avoids him for a large chunk of the middle of the book. And same with him. As soon as she's thinking about being in love with him, he's in love with her too! I was just royally pissed at the middle of this book because how did you fall in love with someone you haven't spent much time with? She hardly knows him other than how hot he is. I was just about ready to give up on this book but by the end Grant had to go be super sweet. And the epilogue was pretty cute too. Overall, this was a cute, quick read. The insta love was not my cup of tea but somehow I like this little crew of friends they have. I also really liked the first book in this series and Luke and Chloe and Harper make several appearances here. So while I have some grievances with the middle of the book, I can't deny that I still enjoyed this quick read.

This was a delicious slow burn. Grant and Tate were great together and Tate was funny and quirky without being over the top. One of my new favorites from RS Grey! Would love to see her continue this series with a book for Daphne and Dustin!

3.5 ⭐Cute short read, felt a little rushed at times but I still fell in love with Tate and Grant. Small amount of spice but I enjoyed the story. Finished in 3 days. The actual book ended at like 90% or something like that. Had a few chapters from another book at the very end.

This is a brother’s teammate insta-love story. It follows Tate, a nurse, and Grant, an MLB player.
When they first meet, they don’t know each other. There is just instant attraction, but they don’t exchange names or any other contact information. It was just one night. Come to find out, Grant is Grant Navarro, a player who had just been traded to the Pinstripes – the same team Tate’s brother plays for.
The problem? Tate does not date baseball players. As for Grant, he knows she’s off-limits when he realizes she’s the sister of one of the best players on his team. But the attraction between them is hard to ignore.
Tate and Grant were so cute together. I loved how Grant was just so adamant about what he wanted and how he felt about Tate. Despite him not wanting to upset her brother, he knew how he felt and didn’t want to play games. He was just an honest and sweet guy.
Now, Tate was not my favorite. I mean, she was a hard worker and had to deal with a lot being a nurse. But, I didn’t like how she was treating Grant when he was nothing but open and honest with her. She did get better as the story went along though.
I loved seeing how close everyone in the story was. I mean, Tate’s friends were also friends with the Pinstripes players, so they all interacted and most of them got along with each other.
