The Strike Out by Meghan Quinn
4.0
4.5 stars
Holt and Harmony meet at a diner one night whilst he’s out with his baseball buddies and she is their server. She has an ingrained hatred for all Brentwood athletes - of course due to previous bad experience - so is snarky and borderline rude to them all night. To be fair they’re all hammered and nobody wants to be the one serving the drunk guys, but her attitude is mostly unwarranted.
Regardless of her obvious disdain, Holt is immediately drawn to her. And so he spends the next few weeks trying to convince her to go out with him. Once she does, their romance is a whirlwind of fun and they both fall. Hard.
I spent the first few chapters of the book thinking I was going crazy because it all felt so familiar, but according to my Goodreads and Instagram pages, I definitely hadn’t read the book. However, part of it was featured as a novella in the Team Player 2 anthology! So I’m not nuts. We’re good. Phew!
Holt is such a fun character! Witty, charming, funny, sweet AND has an alpha side? Yes please! He’s like if Ryan Reynolds and a sweet, romantic caveman (is that a thing?) had a lovechild.
Harmony was his perfect match, too. Sweet, loyal, sassy, sarcastic, takes no shit.
They both have their insecurities and weak moments but that’s what makes them real!
Also, no mega long break up this time!
“Remember that Hallmark movie where the couple was split up for eight years? What kind of crap is that?” Touché Ms Quinn, touché.
