Stealing Home by Becky Wallace

3.0

This was an enjoyable read, but lacked the elements I look for in this type of story. The potential for all of them was there, particularly the complicated family relationship I usually go for, but none of them ever really developed.

The romance seemed a little forced here. Or maybe imagined. It was more like a daydream than a real relationship developing.

One of the biggest issues I had with the book was that one of the baseball players made a major jerk move (although he was always super sweet, apparently) and it was explained away with a single sentence and everything was fine. There was no conversation about why he handled the situation the way he did, since he could have handled it a lot better, but suddenly it was back to him being a fantastic guy who was always sweet and nice.

A fun enough read, but not one I am likely to reach for again. Many people I know would enjoy it though, so I would definitely recommend it for many readers.
