New Release/Review/Giveaway: Swinging at Love by Kendra C. Highley

Outfielder Tristan Murrell has a problem. As the number two slugger for the Suttonville Sentinels, his team is counting on him to make their very first run at the state championship. But he has a secret—his swing has totally deserted him. As in, he can’t hit anything. He needs to fix the issue, and fast, but how?
Ballerina Alyssa Kaplan has a problem, too. The shiny new sports complex in town has left her family’s batting cage business on the verge of going under. Nailing her audition for a prestigious dance company is everything, but there’s no way she’s letting her some shiny big-box company destroy her family’s livelihood.
Tristan needs a miracle. So does Alyssa. And maybe, just maybe, Tristan’s secret weapon might be the girl of his dreams…
Disclaimer: This book contains hot, shirtless baseball players, kisses that bring a ballerina to her knees, and a lot of baseball smack-talk.

I loved book one of this series, and couldn’t wait to jump into this.

Alyssa Kaplan loves working at her family’s business. They have indoor batting cages, but the business isn’t doing well thanks to the new sports complex in town. Then one day one of the players on the high school team comes in and everything changes.

Tristan Murrell has been having a horrible time hitting. He’s too wrapped up in his head and can’t seem to hit. He doesn’t want the team to know how bad he’s struggling, so he goes to the small batting cages that the team doesn’t usually use. It’s there he meets Alyssa, and once he does, he can’t stop thinking about her.

Alyssa is able to help Tristan with batting, having played softball in the past. She can’t help but notice how attractive he is, but she thinks she’s average – nothing special. Once they realize they have feelings for each other, a lot happens. A lot you don’t want to miss.

I really enjoyed this book. The story was fast paced and sucked me in from the very start. Tristan was a great character, and I loved how Alyssa fit with him. Together, they were perfect. I also enjoyed how the main characters from book one also played a part in it. All-in-all, a great read. -Reviewed by Michelle
