“Chance For Home” by Traci Hunter Abramson
I’ve read some other books by this author but I haven’t read the book called “Chances Are” that precedes this story. It would have helped with the character development if I had read the other book, but I still really enjoyed this sweet, romantic story and enjoyed getting to know the characters.
I liked how Kari wasn’t afraid to stand up to her beliefs and feelings but was still respectful and kind to others. I don’t know anything about baseball but I liked how passionate and supportive Kari was to her brother and new boyfriend and their careers. I also like reading about Ryan, Ben and her other friends and how close knit they were.
“Chance for Home” has a good steady story line, sweet (clean!) romance and fun characters that people can relate to.
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the book:
Beautiful pre-med student Kari Evans believes she’s found the man of her dreams—right up until the moment she discovers he’s a two-timing cheat. Desperately gathering the pieces of her broken heart, she realizes that what she needs most is space to reconsider her future. A summer in Washington, DC, with her professional baseball player brother, Ben, sounds like just the change of scene she’s after. But if complicated romantic entanglements are what she’s trying to escape, she’s out of luck.
Ryan Strobel has had it with spotlight-seeking women. As third baseman for the Washington Nationals, he’s dealt with more than his fair share of opportunistic admirers—but his ex-fiancée, Brandi, may be the worst. When the woman refuses to take no for an answer, Ryan’s teammate Ben offers a crazy solution: Ben’s sister will pose as Ryan’s new girlfriend. Though an unlikely pair, Ryan and Kari find themselves getting surprisingly comfortable with the charade. Soon, the line between fact and fiction is blurred, and the very real feelings that develop between the couple are undeniable. But when faced with the interference of conniving exes, family objections, and the reality of their very different lives, are Ryan and Kari destined to strike out in the game of love?
