He’s a game she never intended to play.
And she’s the game changer he never knew he needed.
The Perfect Game tells the story of college juniors, Cassie Andrews & Jack Carter. When Cassie meets rising baseball hopeful Jack, she is determined to steer clear of him and his typical cocky attitude. But Jack has other things on his mind… like getting Cassie to give him the time of day. They’re both damaged, filled with mistrust and guarded before they find one another (and themselves) in this emotional journey about love and forgiveness. Strap yourselves for a ride that will not only break your heart, but put it back together.
Sometimes life gets ugly before it gets beautiful…
This is definitely a roller coaster ride of emotions, all up and then down. This book gave me all the feels, even though some I could have gone with out. I screamed, cried a little, had a strong urge to throw my kindle..You name it, I probably felt it.
Cassie, I love this girl, she’s tough but loving. Forgiving but doesn’t want to listen to the full story and explanation. She had her moments, like when she had to deal with her trust issues, but she pushed on through. Her heart was broken and damaged one too many times, by someone that a girl should be able to look up to, the first man a girl trusts, her dad.
Jack F’n Carter, the infamous baseball player. I love him, though sometimes I wanted to reach into my kindle and smack the back of his head. Jack was a jerk, swoon-worthy, cocky baseball player that almost everyone at school loves. Well, not just the school but most of the town as well. Baseball is Jack’s first love. Until he meets Cassie. All of a sudden, the playboy who never sleeps with the same girl twice, who never even calls a girl after their one night together, is falling hard and fast for the girl who doesn’t trust. He has his faults, but he was trying really hard to be a different person for Cassie, to show her he loved her and that not everyone breaks promises so easily.
Jack is probably one of the most swoon worthy book boyfriends I’ve ever fallen for, except for the times I hated him, but even then he was still pretty amazing. I felt for him when he or Dean went into detail about the childhood they had and if it weren’t for Gran and Gramps, it would have been worse. I loved how when Cassie told him it was twenty five cents for every touch, he just laughed.
This book was written in a way where you do not need to read The Game Changer, Cassie and Jacks story does continue, as much as we all want a story for other characters (EHEM..) The Game Changer also gives you more of one of my favorite couples.
