Jen Sterling did it again! I absolutely love her books! I can't put them down once I start one. Behind the Plate is the second book in the Boys of Baseball series but it's a standalone so you don't need to read the other books but I would highly recommend going back and reading Chance's parent's story, The Perfect Game, if you haven't. Chance f'n Carter is a junior in college and needs a tutor for his math class in order to stay eligible to play baseball for his draft season. Chance, who has a hard time trusting girls with all he's dealt with in the past, requests that his tutor not be female. So when Danika shows up as his tutor, Chance isn't happy but she's his only option. They immediately have a love/hate relationship, they are both attracted to one another but Chance needs to pass his class and Danika has a boyfriend. They try to be friends but it's so hard to be friends with someone you want to see naked. I so loved this book. Chance is the kind of guy that you want your daughter to fall in love with and I'm sure makes his parents very proud. This book brings his parents up a lot so again, read The Perfect Game! So good! I look forward to reading Mac's book next! And I also think that Chance's sister needs a book! 5 Stars!!!!
Favorite Excerpt:
“Because of this. You distract me. You tempt me. I fucking want you, and I don’t know how to stop.” He sounded breathless, and my mind instantly went to the bedroom, wondering if that was how he sounded when he was having sex.
I imagined his large body hovering over mine, all of his hard muscles flexing, begging to be touched.
“I want to kiss you, Danika. I want to make you forget that anyone else in the world exists, except you and me.”
I held my breath as the weight of his words crashed down around me.
“But I won’t. Because I’d hate myself for it after.”
“I’d hate myself too,” I conceded, “but that doesn’t mean I don’t want it as badly as you do.”
“Then, break up with him,” he said simply. “Break up with him, so I can finally know what you taste like. What you feel like. And so I can stop jerking off in the shower to make-believe bullshit images of you and have the real thing.”
He thinks about me in the shower? Why do I find that so hot?
