More Than the Game by Jenni Bara
Marc's life revolved around baseball, drinking, and one-night stands. Plagued by his parents bad marriage, he is not looking for anything longer. That all changes after the injury prevent him from playing the game. Because of his reputation, he has little chance to be hired as a coach.
One that day he helped his father, who is sick, by going to repair the dishwasher. What he finds is utter chaos. The house with more kids than he can count, and one frazzled lady. One silly accident later, he is not sure what hit him. But he keeps coming back and each time they get a little bit closer.
Beth is a former golden olympian and daughter of senator. She knows what it feels like to be dragged into the media, so the last thing she wants is to go viral.
When it happens, they strike a deal, a fake relationship to help his reputation. But what they get out is so much more.
I love both characters, they are just the sweetest. The backstory, the dialogs, their development, it made them very, very real and I was rooting for them. <3
It's the kind of story you have to read in one sitting. Incredibly romantic, it pulls at the heartstrings and made me giggle all the way through. Also, he brother, if you have that kind of squad behind you, you have nothing to worry about. :)
synopsis
Trending on social media is her nightmare.
Beth Evans, former Olympic golden girl, known for a national scandal and daughter of a rising political star, is more than happy to stay out of the spotlight, living life as a normal single mom in a small Jersey town. The last thing Beth needs is Twitter’s favorite bad boy–Marc Demoda–walking into her life to stir things up.
Marc lives for the three b’s; baseball, bars, and ball bunnies until the unthinkable happened. An accident destroys his shoulder and his career, leaving him desperate to get back in the game. Too bad no one hires notorious bad boys to coach. With his reputation on life support, Marc finds his saving grace might be the feisty blonde he can’t get out of his head.
When pictures of Beth and Marc’s chance encounter blow up on Twitter, they strike a deal to avoid further scandals and fix their image. But even in the harsh public spotlight, their fake relationship begins to feel real. Beth’s growing feelings for Marc have her questioning if she can permanently handle the limelight, just as Marc wonders if Beth might mean more than the game.
