Geek meets girl. Girl makes him drop and give her twenty…
Dr. Wesley Malcom’s chronic asthma may have kept him from playing baseball as a child (or even being allowed to participate in gym class for that matter) but he has found a way to blend his love of the sport with his passion for numbers as the senior statistician for the Omaha Prairie Dogs major league baseball team (P-Dawgz to their true fans). When the team owner asks him to start doing a live segment on the pre-game show, Wes knows he has to get a make-over in order to be camera ready. That means getting into shape, despite his overprotective mother’s protestations that exercise will literally kill him. Who knows, maybe sharpening his image might even help his admittedly lackluster love life!
Kai Jordan is a personal trainer with a dark past and an empty checking account. When she’s not working as a personal trainer at a small Omaha gym, she spends her days trying to make ends meet and rooting on her favorite baseball team, the Omaha Prairie Dogs. When an old friend mentions that some rich big-wig in the Prairie Dogs front office is looking for a trainer, Kai is ready to do whatever it takes to land the job.
Wes is smitten with Kai right away, but what would a blonde bombshell ever see in a hapless geek like him? Kai is starting to fall hard for Wes, but she fears what will happen if he ever finds out about her juvenile delinquent past. Can Wes and Kai find love amongst all of these hurdles and will the official ‘Worst Team in Baseball’ actually make it to the playoffs this year?
I really liked this book. I especially liked the non standard protagonists, a skinny nerdy guy and a woman who i pictured as almost Amazonian. They had a great story and I'm really looking forward to the next one in the sequel. I know the next book isn't about wes and Kai but I really hope there in the next book somewhat or maybe a short novella giving us an update on them. Highly recommend.
