Benching Brady by Samantha Christy

5.0

It's no secret that I love just about everything that Samantha Christy has written. I love how she weaves her characters throughout her three series (The Mitchell Sisters, The Stone Brothers, and now The Perfect Game Series). Because of this, we get the opportunity to check in with characters that we already love, while getting to know in depth side characters from previous books. Brady was a teammate of Caden's in the first book of The Perfect Game series, Catching Caden.

Based on what we had learned about Brady, I knew there was a mystery behind what drove him in his womanizer ways, and I knew it was going to be big. And it was. Rylee became Brady's physical therapist after an injury during a game. And Rylee was the perfect complement to him. The chemistry between these two was off the charts!

The amount of research that Samantha Christy must put in to get the details correct in her novels is obvious; understanding the injuries, surgeries and procedures, therapies, baseball rules and superstitions, and so much more- all of this make her characters and plot more realistic. Her characters are likable (and lovable!) and the plot well-developed. I love how this book was broken into two parts- the first told from Brady's point of view, and the second from Rylee's.

Benching Brady was a hit, and I highly recommend! Now I am anxiously awaiting Sawyer's story!
