Review: A League of Her Own – Karen Rock

He was attractive, talented…and way off limits.

Heather Gadway may have been a world-class college pitcher and a top university coach, but she’s a rank amateur when it comes to managing the Falcons, her father’s struggling minor league team. And when it comes to managing her aggravating attraction to Garrett Wolf, their talented new pitcher. It’s going to be difficult enough to make it as the first female manager in the league and prove to her overly critical father she’s worthy. No distractions. No missteps. And certainly no romances with players. Everything stands between them—including their troubled pasts—even as Heather’s world falls apart and Garrett’s the one who’s there to catch her…

Reviewer’s Thoughts

A LEAGUE OF HER OWN is a heartwarming baseball romance.  Heather Gadway loves the game of baseball and it’s always been the main focus in her life.  She was a pitcher in college and now works as a women’s college baseball coach.   Her dad owns the Falcons, a Triple-A baseball team and Heather’s goal has always been to manage the team.  Sadly, it’s not until her dad has a heart attack, when he reluctantly agrees to let her manage the team for one season.  Heather has many obstacles to overcome as the first female manager in the league and unfortunately, the guys on the Falcon’s aren’t happy when they learn she’s their new manager.  She’s under a lot of pressure and has to prove herself to her dad, the team and anyone else who doesn’t think a woman can manage a men’s baseball team.   

Garrett Wolfe is an accomplished pitcher with an incredible fastball and Heather’s dad decides to take a chance on him as the starting pitcher for the Falcons.  Garrett is also a recovering alcoholic with a dream of making it to the big leagues.  Garrett and Heather are thrown together because they both have one goal in mind, a winning baseball team, but Heather doesn’t trust Garret because of his alcoholism.  They are both trying to deal with some issues in their lives while trying to achieve their dreams.  It’s not easy for either one of them to open up and trust someone.
