Lacey and her family have moved to a new town to escape the trauma of the murders of her mother and sister. As a result, Lacey has PTSD and spends a great deal of time looking over her shoulder - the killers of her family were never caught. One of the things that helped her get through was her love of baseball. And another of the reasons they moved was also because Lacey had a chance of making it onto the school's all male baseball team which could mean a scholarship for her.
Enter Kade. The rough, tough bad boy with a soft side to him. Unless you mess with his family or someone he loves. Returning back to school after another incident with a student, he quickly turns his eye to Lacey. Kade has a family of strong brothers who all rally to protect what's theirs. So when Kade's enemy returns to settle the score, his brothers and Lacey are there. Is their love strong enough to make it through Kade's enemies, Lacey's PTSD, and high school?
I really enjoyed this book. One of the things I most loved about this book was Lacey. Sure, she was annoying some of the time but what high school girl isn't? But she stood up for herself and went after what she wanted - the rest of high school be damned. She wasn't going to wait around to be saved. She did the saving herself. Yes, her PTSD did present a lot of issues but it was one of the things that brought her and Kade closer together (especially after she blacked out when he brought her home one night).
Another thing I liked? Kade's brothers. Lord help me, all of them need their own books *hint, hint* They were hilarious and strong and had a moral compass beneath their heavy exterior. I would definitely love to see more of them!
I really enjoyed this book and I think it would be a great read for anyone who loves a heroine who can stand on her own two feet, with a great guy standing next to her.
