Tessa Bailey never fails at sports romance, and this book is just another example of this! Pitcher Perfect was hilarious. I loved watching Robbie fall so very hard for Skylar and their dynamic’s development over time was so real. Fake dating hits every time, and this book absolutely nailed that trope. A softball girlie x a hockey boy may be a new favorite combo of mine!
Skylar may be one of the FMCs I related to the most! I laughed out loud at her dynamic with her planner and her determination to literally schedule everything into it. Her desire for order makes perfect sense in the world of her family, and I loved seeing how Robbie was able to fit into this sense of order as well as help her shift to a little bit of chaos.
It’s so fun to me how this book fit into the same timeline as Dream Girl Drama, and it was great seeing the characters from that book as well as The Au Pair Affair pop back up. I’m super excited to eventually read Mailer’s story and to hear how he gets his happily-ever-after too. I’ve loved reading this series and it’s such a treat to ARC these past two books!
Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

ARC Review: The Jezebel List by Alisa Dean
Publication Date: August 25, 2026 I so enjoyed reading The Jezebel List and going along for the ride of this love story! After Christina and Danny’s meet-cute, it was so clear both why Danny felt so drawn to Christina but also why these characters are so meant to be. We ALL deserve a partner who…
