During his off-season he hope that coming home will give him relaxation and to unwind. But he also hope to reignite the fire with his high school sweetheart, Jacy who he had fallen in love with. But what he not counting on is his "Bat Pack Boys" pals to tag along and bring mayhem.

Stevie Cole, baseball trivia whiz, got a surprise that Aaron, the guy she love all of her life is now engaged. heart broken, she lean her shoulder to Zen, one of the baseball player who also just broken up with the woman who is now engaged to Aaron.

You will met up with the rest of the Bat Pack gangs: Psycho, Romeo, Chaser too. There is two romance story here: the main characters and secondary. Both are great. I really enjoy reading this book. I thought that Kate Angell capture the real essence of the summer fun with sexy romance thrown in very well. The characters were likable and delightful and I laughs plenty. If you are baseball fan, you will enjoy this book. The story revolve around the charity and the characters with background of baseball events.

There is a second book Curve Ball, which is story on Psycho, Romeo, Chaser. They are known to be "Bat Pack" boys. I have copy of this book, so I can't wait to read it!

Read Kate Angell's Squeeze Play. It a good fun, summer read with delicious and sizzling romance. Very delicious to read up ;)

I do enjoy this book, it was fun and just the perfect book to read for the summer. I think I might read the second book Curveball since it might be quicker. But of course I will read High Noon *grin*

I too pray my server is solved :) Thanks for comments, as always

I too pray for the quick recovery of your server...

I'm thinking of reading "Me & Mr Darcy" and "Be Careful What You Wish For", both by Alexandra Potter. That's why I'm reading "Pride and Prejudice" now to get Mr Darcy 'right'. LOL.

Great review!
