The proposal was simple: Score a Homerun and take my virginity. Except, my proposal went to the wrong brother.
It was supposed to go to my best friend, but as fate would have it, it fell into the hands of his infuriatingly hot, irritatingly charming older brother.
Lane Collins is Orleans University’s All Star baseball captain. Cocky pitcher. Player on and off the field. The lift of every party. And the same guy I’ve crushed on in secret since we were kids.
He’s always been out of my league.
That is, until he signs on the dotted line on a proposal that wasn’t meant for him, and offers to teach me… everything.
His one and only condition?
When everything’s checked off, we walk away.
Easier said than done when my heart is involved.
Now, it’s a whole new ballgame.
Reading 'Homerun Proposal' reminds me of the thrilling unpredictability of young love, especially set against the vibrant backdrop of college life and sports. The storyline, where a simple dare or proposal goes to the wrong person, instantly brings up a mix of tension and excitement. It’s fascinating to see how the author creates complexity with Lane Collins, the charming yet cocky baseball captain who's always been seemingly out of reach. His willingness to sign a proposal not intended for him and make an unconventional agreement adds layers of emotional depth and anticipation. Personally, I’ve always found sports settings in romance novels particularly compelling because they combine physicality with intense emotional stakes. In this story, baseball isn’t just a game; it becomes a metaphor for risk, challenges, and personal growth. Maren Moore's portrayal of Lane as both a player on the field and off is a realistic touch that captures the multifaceted nature of relationships in college. The quote from the OCR, "YOU MAKE EVERYTHING SO EASY. BREATHING BEING THE MAN I WANT TO BE. YOU MAKE ME WANT TO BE BETTER HALLIE," ties beautifully into the theme of transformation and inspiration found in this novel. It suggests that beyond playful dares, the characters motivate each other to grow individually and together. This kind of emotional honesty resonates deeply with readers who appreciate romance stories that blend passion with personal development. If you've ever experienced the uncertainty of mixing friendship, attraction, and expectations, this book will feel relatable. It also reminds me how unexpectedly crossing paths with the 'wrong' person can sometimes lead to the most meaningful connections, even when heartstrings get tangled. Overall, 'Homerun Proposal' offers a fun yet sincere narrative that captures the spirit of youthful love and the challenges of navigating complicated relationships—definitely a home run read for fans of contemporary romance.
