So, although I thought there were some slight issues with the book, I thought the writing was good and the story pretty solid. I am kind of wishing I had parents more like Mason’s…they were pretty awesome. The story was kind of predictable, I saw what was going to happen regarding Sean’s sister right away, but even predictable, if done well, can be a really good read, and this one was for me. Usually sports stories aren’t my favorite, but if I had to pick a sport, it would be baseball, and although there is some of the game in the story, you certainly wouldn’t be lost if you know nothing about baseball (one of the reasons I am not usually a fan of sports books-I sometimes can’t follow the game talk). I was a little unsure when Sean and Mason first got together honestly, it came across a little too easy for them to just make that leap after being friends for seven years, but once past that, I really enjoyed it. I read this book in one sitting, with no desire to put it down, and I thought it got even better as the story went on. This is my first book by Sloan Johnson, and I am already to jump into the sequel, Curve Ball. Review: Best Friends to Lovers…of course, I am going to love it. When Mason admits that he’s always known he’s bisexual but has never allowed himself to pursue a relationship with a man, will Sean be able to put aside his reservations about starting a relationship with the friend he’d always assumed was straight?

Sean showed rookie short stop Mason Atley the ropes, both on the field and off. The problem is, he never counted on Mason Atley.

It is definitely a series that I will continue reading.īlurb: There’s never been any question in Sean Tucker’s mind that he’d do whatever it took to make it to the major leagues and be one of the best pitchers of his time.
