Striking Out with the Star Pitcher

How to Catch a Crush, Book 1

De: Maggie Dallen

Narrado por: Liz Krane

The high school hero offers to help his friend win the heart of the bad boy. But when he falls for her himself? It’s no more Mr. Nice Guy.

The bad boy...

Simone has a plan. Well, her friends have a plan. The self-proclaimed Lonely Hearts Club has found a way for the awkward movie-quoting art geek to get the attention of the brooding bad boy in the band.

This plan? It involves studying.

When they get their hands on a stack of old magazines filled with how-to articles, the answer is clear. If Simone can master the fine art of flirting, her crush won't stand a chance.

Mr. Nice Guy...

The school’s beloved starting pitcher might be popular, but the nerdy chick he’s been eating lunch with every day for years? She won’t give him the time of day. Until he’s recruited by her friends to be her practice date, that is.

Everyone knows that Andrew is a good guy. A nice guy. So, of course, he agrees to be Simone’s stand-in crush. But then, he starts crushing on her himself.

Now, all bets are off, because Andrew might be nice but he’s not that nice. And if playing dirty means stealing kisses, well, things are about to get messy.

Fluffy & fun

This is a short and sweet story! It’s well-written and does provide a bit of that giddy feelings. A good break from paranormal romance stories for awhile! Maggie Dallen is so good at characters with quirky & cuteness for the heroines or duo. You can relate a little with Sims, a shy girl and you just truly dig Andrew, the jock yet it would be cool to have a little more depth about them. Then again, I believe this story is meant to be quick and easy read. It is for the younger audience, young as 12 or 13 years old. I would truly recommend it for that type of audience. I just enjoyed it as an adult due to being a clean romance and much needed a fluffy yet fun read.

Loved!

So good makes me want to read it all over again! So sad it felt so short!

It was just okay.

Yeah, I had higher hopes for this. 😢 The storyline was like all the others I have heard in this genre, which had me disappointed.
