Dani loves baseball, and this year she’s looking forward to snagging one of the boys from the summer league as her first
boyfriend. When she notices an ad asking families to house players, she immediately comes up with a plan for her and her
best friend to board a player for the summer. Thus, she’ll have a great "in" with the team -- and first chance at picking the
best guy.
Unfortunately, Jason’s not only the hottest boy on the team, but the only boy that catches Dani’s eye. Unfortunately,
there’s the small problem that she had promised her parents she would not date the boy living in their house. Plus, there’s
no way that a hottie like Jason could fall for her.
Rachel Hawthorne excels at teen romance novels creating tension between the two characters that leaves the reader in
high suspense, which makes for a very enjoyable read.
