Curveball by Nicole Rodrigues
3.0
Charlotte aka Charlie Daniels and Gabriel Gavinwood were inseparable as kids and teenagers. They were best friends until they realized that they wanted to be more to each other and neither one were able to keep their hands off each other. They were each others first in everything, including heartbreak when they broke up and Gabriel was drafted to the MLB and was able to carry out his dreams. Charlie, she had hopes and dreams of playing softball at college but had to abandon all of her dreams when she found out she was pregnant with twins. She raised the twins on her own until her son, Devin, was drafted to a minor league team that Gabriel was the coach for.
I usually don't have a problem with the insta and don't judge too hard on it but Gabriel seemed to want to jump right into Charlie's pants once he saw her again and it kind of irked me. His hurt at not knowing about the twins seemed almost non-existent. I know that this seems like a contradiction but when he did meet the kids he did make an effort to try, to bond, and get to know them; I really respected that. That when he was with them he tried, that he wanted to form a relationship. I am struggling with this review because I felt that the writing was good, the trope is one of my favorites but I felt like their coming back together and making peace with the past was off. I still really enjoyed the story and will recommend it to friends but . . . I am not sure, I can't figure it out. Will recommend this book to other readers.
