Swing and A Home Run!

Swing And A Mishap is a brilliantly funny, heartwarming, hot as hell book that is bursting at the seams with romance. It’s redolent with details that make it a real pleasure to sink yourself into, such as Wren’s masterful yet casual handling of the high school ball practice, that hot night at the Dip and Twist, to the incredible first date of Shepherd and Wren.

Shepherd Oliver is the swoony, dirty-talking, romantic, man of your dreams. He will create Pinterest-worthy dates and craft his heart out for the love of his life, Wren. Shepherd has loved Wren forever and his declaration was the most beautiful thing I’ve read about long-wished-for love in ages.

Wren Bennett is the kind, dedicated, long-suffering, heroine who finally becomes the badass you’ve always wanted her to be and starts taking names and flipping bats. The way she first reacts to Shepherd showing up and then finally to her son, Owen’s, father Kevin was truly perfect. Wren didn’t need to be saved but it was beautiful that she finally had the backup she deserved.

Summersweet Island is a place I wish really did exist. I wish I was a permanent resident so I could complain about the tourists and know all the secret spots and the great places to eat. It’s a place where the people know everyone’s business but they’ve all got your back when you need it.

I absolutely loved Swing and A Mishap as much as Shepherd loves Wren and Wren loves Shepherd and purple roses. I can’t wait for Emily’s book: First and Tension.

Swing And A Mishap is about:
✔ A newly retired pro baseball player
✔ A single Mom with a beautiful and kind heart
✔ A small island off the shore of Virginia called Summersweet Island
✔ A second chance romance
✔ Coming home to find the love you’ve always been looking for
✔ A fairytale romance with unicorns and glitter and Lisa Frank stickers
✔ A follow up to Kiss My Putt but can be read as a standalone
