Switch-Hitter by E.M. Lindsey
Look, I couldn’t care less about baseball, and let’s be honest, when it got to the point where it turned out that one main character literally punched the other’s teeth out? I normally would’ve DNF’d the book so quickly! But I trust E.M. Lindsey so I kept going. I’m glad I did, as the way their … [Read more]

My only complaint is that this was way too short. "Treasure" follows 18 year old Alexis Chambers, who is out with her sister for her … [Read more]
