Dirty Curve by Meagan Brandy

5.0

If you think you’re going into a sports-related drama, you are wrong! The fact that Tobais plays baseball almost becomes background noise. Baseball is just what Tobais does. But, it is the connection between him and Meyer, so I’m thankful for it. I have a thousand and one things I want to say; NEED to say. But to avoid spoiling anything, I have to keep my lips sealed! The drama gave me gut wrenching anxiety from page one! Tobais and Meyer remind me so much of Nathan and Haley from One Tree Hill. It is so comforting! Meyer is put in charge of tutoring Tobais so he can remain on the college baseball team. And it is the sweetest thing to see the way they find common ground out on the diamond. Tobais wanted Meyer because she didn’t want him. She was such a mystery to him; he couldn’t figure her out. But then when he saw her, truly saw her, it was no longer a want. It was a need. Tobais never ran from her, he always ran towards her. Holding on as tight as he could. And OH BOY was the curve dirty!
