Pitcher Perfect by Tessa BaileyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Robbie Corrigan is a rookie for Boston Bearcats (ice hockey), living the single rich guys dream and rooming with his friend. Then one day he and his team mates turn up for a game of baseball in the park against players from the local baseball team. Robbie is overheard being too graphic and not very complementary about thee woman he was with the previous night by Skylar Paige, a division one baseball pitcher. Robbie is completely bowled over by Skylar but after what she overheard she wants nothing to do with the dirty man 'ho.
Skylar is carrying a lot of excess baggage, all the rest of her family went to Brown but she failed the interview and it seems that experience bonds her parents with her brother. Also, as a female athlete she didn't have time to learn flirting and make-up and all the stuff other girls do at school/college so she feels like 'one of the guys'.
Skylar is in love with her brother's best friend, but he doesn't seem to notice her - except when Robbie is paying her attention, so they agree to fake date. Robbie will use his extensive experience with women to coach Skylar (who has VERY limited experience with men) whilst making her crush jealous AND he will be her partner at her family's annual Page Stakes, a wilderness competition which risks life and limb.
Robbie has been struck by insta-lurve and although he is supposed to be helping Skylar snag the man of her dreams he is secretly hoping that he can make her forget the other guy.
I enjoyed this, but the high steam factor kind of clashed with the sweetness of Robbie really 'seeing' Skylar and supporting her.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
