Book Description:
Baseball hopeful Bo Crutcher is about to get his shot at the majors. That is, until life throws him a curveball. When AJ, the son he's never met, lands on his doorstep, Bo's life becomes a whole new ball game. He needs help - fast.

Enter Kimberly van Dorn. Hired to smooth Bo's rough exterior for the media, she expects the kind of shallow pro athlete she's used to handling. But Bo is willing to sacrifice everything for his vulnerable son. Kim can train him to hit a home run with the press, but over a breathtaking winter on frozen Willow Lake, she realizes he has far more to teach her about the game of life - and putting love first.

I have read all of this series and at first I wasn't sure I would like this one. The other books seemed to tie in the previous characters a little more than this one. But after not giving up, I really did enjoy the story. After probably half way or so she did start mentioning more of the previous characters so that made me happy. =) I can't wait to see which character will be the main focus of the next one. All and all I would still recommend this book.

Although the beginning is a bit of a stretch, ultimately the story is compelling. The romance part of the story is great, but its secondary to the plot line about a little boy whose single mother is caught up in an INS sweep and deported. I thoroughly enjoyed this book

This was a good story. It didn't have much about characters from the other books in the series though. Just enough to remind you of them. Nice easy read.

This was my 1st Susan Wiggs book, and it made me come back for more of her work! I love baseball stories, and this one was really cute!

This was the first book i have read of the series and once i got to know each character and the plot started to really develop and come together the book started moving at lightning speed and i ended up really liking it & finding it touching... Good romance as well as a touching account of the development and healing of the estranged relationship between a father and his young son (who had never met but do to a trajic event the boy is separated from his mother and sent to go live with his father) Plus the ending was not what i expected and it was better than i expected which is always nice... I would reccomend it... Im definitly going to go back and read the 1st 4 books in the series

From the start of this book, it was good reading. Love and what a father must do

Susan Wiggs sets this story in the small town of Avalon. Once again she included some information about characters featured in previous books, although not so much detail that it requires the reader to read her books in sequence. I recommend this book as an enjoyable read and can't wait to read the next book in the series.

I loved this book! Susan Wiggs does such a good job; bringing joy and tears in equal measure. This one keeps you guessing right to the end. I'm really enjoying the town of Avalon, through the several books set in that area. I totally recommend this one!
