This was the 2nd book in the Summersweet Island series, and like the first one, there were lots of lol moments. The one thing I thought was odd was that we skipped over Tessa and Brody's story, and they are already together in this one. Hopefully, we get their story soon.
Shepard and Wren went to HS together. He was a superstar baseball player and got drafted right away. He starts messaging Wren on Instagram, and they are always chatting. Then, poof, he ghosts her.
A year goes by, and after a season-ending injury, he decides to retire and move back home to the island. He hopes to make amends with the one he let get away...
Wren is a spitfire, Shep is smitten, and the laughs with the side characters from book one and Owen are great. Kevin is also a great punching bag—a solid 3.75 rounded up to 4 stars for this one.

This story left a smile on my face after reading and a sore stomach from laughing so much. I absolutely fell in love. This is definitely a series I am all in for. Tara Sivec never disappoints and this story was no different. The characters and story are quirky and fun and so sweet. I enjoyed every minute of reading and I can't wait for more!

| I loved these two! So bumbly and well-meaning and stuck as their teenage selves, but as grown adults with needs, wants, and desires, oh, and of course, baggage. Loved, loved, loved, our hero, he really is every woman’s dream, so it is understandable that Wren doesn’t trust it. As sweet as these two are together, the heat and chemistry between them is just as evident, and they easily flip and slide from one to the other <3

"Don't you get it yet?" I ask quietly. "Whether it's at first, or second, or in the outfield. No matter where I kiss you, Wren, I'm already home."
We have already met Wren's character in the first installment Kiss My Putt. Wren is the sister to Birdie. We also very briefly met Sheperd at the end of the same novel when he came back to Summersweet Island after an injury to be the new head coach of the freshman baseball team. He also happens to be Wren's life long crush since they were in high school.
Sheperd Oliver is thee most swoon worthy character I've ever met in a book or a movie. Or a man in real life, really. This book was just as great as Kiss My Putt if not better. I absolutely adore Wren and Sheperd. Wren is the quiet type who is always doing things for other people instead of herself and Sheperd, was a former Major League Baseball player who knows what he wants and will stop at nothing to get it. Or should I say, her.
The Summersweet Island series I can already tell will be a favorite of mine for all time. I love the feeling of island living, I love the feeling of a close community where everyone knows one another and is there for one another. I love the fact that this family is all together on the island to be a part of each others lives and I just simply love the family dynamic of Sheperd, Wren and Wren's son Owen. It is a feel good story that comes with a happy ending.
Swing and a Mishap is a friends who broke apart to come back together as lovers type of novel. These boys have got to get their shit together and start getting things right the first time around. But hey, according to the books the make up afterward isn't ever all that bad. This book had me laughing out loud and reading certain parts to my husband when he would give me certain looks of craziness. I even shed a few thoughtful tears as well because I feel like Wren and my personality is one of the same.
This book was based around the sport of baseball and there is simply no other sport that can make me more happy than baseball. It has been my all time favorite sport since I was a child and that will never change. The smell of a baseball glove, the beauty of a ball field at sunset, or the crack of a bat to make a heart feel full.
I am very curious though for the third installment where we will get to learn more about Wren's best friend Emily and the hot quarterback that has been off limits for the last 4 years of her life due to her being one of the teams cheerleaders. Welcome back home to Summersweet Island Emily. I cannot wait to meet you.

“Don’t you get it yet? Whether it’s at first, or second, or in the outfield. No matter where I kiss you, Wren, I’m already home.”
So much fun! Witty, charming, hilarious Swing and a Mishap knocks perfect rom-com combo of heat, heart and humor out of the park. We met most of these quirky characters in Kiss My Putt but personally I thought Wren and Shepherd's story is so much better. I instantly connected from page one and enjoyed every moment. Now I'm really looking forward to the girls' friend Emily's story in the third installment in First and Tension.
