Book five in the Lakeshore Chronicles, but you do not need to read the first four to follow Fireside. Bo Crutcher is finally getting his chance at Major League Baseball just as he's called to care for the son he's never known when the mother is brought in by immigration. Meanwhile, Kimberly VanDorn's career as a publicist is ruined when her relationship with a star athlete explodes publicly. She's hired to polish Bo's image for the press. After years of dealing with arrogant athletes, Bo's sincerity is a breath of fresh air. This was a sweet love story and the characters are likable. However, a lot of the story could be cut. It's more than halfway through the book before the characters admit any feelings for each other and the story with Bo's ex is really drawn out.
