From USA TODAY bestselling author Stef Ann Holm, Book Three in the Brides for All Seasons Love is in full swing when a baseball star falls for his team’s beautiful manager in this “bit of homespun perfection” (Romantic Times).
Camille Kennison is the most beautiful woman in Harmony, Montana, but she seems destined to end up a spinster. Although she’s received marriage proposals, no man has stirred her heart or her passion. She thinks she’s struck out forever. Until Alex Cordova arrives in town.
A darkly handsome former baseball star, Alex swore he’d never play ball again, but circumstances have arisen and he needs money. So when Camille offers him a contract with her father’s team, he has little choice but to wear a uniform again.
Soon Camille is managing the bungling team, and Alex would rather make a play for the pretty honey than pitch baseballs. He hopes to win her over, but a secret tragedy in his past could throw them both a curveball…unless they learn that truth paves the path to their field of dreams.

About the author
Stef Ann Holm
41 books64 followersStef Ann Holm was born in Southern California near Hollywood. With the fantasy worlds of Disneyland and Universal Studios at her doorstep, her imagination was stimulated at an early age. She attended Chatsworth High where Kevin Spacey, Mare Winningham and Val Kilmer entertained on the school's stage. As a semester elective, Stef Ann enrolled in drama and played a Fandango hostess in the chorus of Sweet Charity. It was the beginning and the end of her acting and singing career. She got a "C" in Drama and an "A" in Creative Writing.
She sold her first romance in 1987. While waiting for a load of laundry to complete at the laundromat, Stef Ann made up the name for her heroine, Camry, when she saw a Toyota Camry parked outside in the lot. Who knew that model would end up being so popular, making her in-depth research seem so shallow. Stef Ann has had twenty-three novels and one novella published. Her editor calls her contemporary romances, "Slices of life stories about real people."
Stef Ann lives in Boise, Idaho with her husband, extended family and beloved Beagle.

Although I'd rather have a root canal rather than attend a baseball game, I was fascinated by the history of baseball as told by Stef Ann Holm. With all the precautions in place today, it is hard to imagine an accident like the one described in the opening pages of this book. Yet, I am sure they occurred in the early days of baseball.
It says something about Holm's imagination to think of having a female manager of an American Baseball League team (or any other major league team). According to my research, such a thing did not happen until 2009! I felt that the author was torn by dual interests -- the history of early baseball and the romance between Alex Cordova and Camille Kennison.
I didn't feel that this was nearly as interesting a story as either of the previous tales in this series (see below). It did not feel as if I was put off by the baseball story, In fact, I thought it was much more interesting than the romantic part. However, that is just my humble opinion. 3.5 stars
