Sutter Mason is sick and tired of ballplayers. And pitchers? The worst!

She’s over their inflated egos. Done with their magnetic charm. And as far as she’s concerned, the broken promise the last ace left her with was her final strike in the game of love.

The problem? Her dad is the coach of the hometown minor league team. And the hot new lefty who just joined the squad? He’s her brother’s new roommate. This time around, instead of falling for the player, she’s going to use him to get what she wants—the perfect case study for her psychology thesis.

No dates. No feelings. Zero extra innings. Simply a business relationship that ends when the season is done or Jensen Hawke is pulled up for prime time.

Arizona Monsoon rookie Jensen Hawke is laser focused—on proving he’s more than just hype, on breaking the league’s strikeout record, and on getting called up to the big leagues.

Jensen doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t even really do friends. But his stubborn attitude is getting him in trouble on the mound. His control comes and goes. His curveball is a mess. And every time his roommate’s cute sister points out that it’s probably all in his head, he wants to scream.

But when a single conversation with her seems to up his game, Jensen decides maybe he’s got time for one relationship while he chases his dream. Just a little positive mental coaching. Nothing but two people working toward shared goals.

So what if Sutter Mason gets him more than anyone ever has. Believes in him in a way that makes him believe too. Looks at him like he’s actually special. And so what if he’s starting to feel things he swore off for good.

In baseball, sometimes all it takes is one spectacular play to change the game. And Jensen Hawke and Sutter Mason didn’t see each other coming. With love on the line, everything is riding on this next pitch.
* Southpaw is a standalone, new adult, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy-sunshine baseball romance full of angst, steam and swoon.

4 Stars

I have been very patiently waiting for the queen of baseball to give us another baseball story. We have gotten a fabulous NA sports romance that is a slow burn full of banter and character growth. In true Ginger Scott fashion she pulled me in from the first chapter and didn't let me go. I love how she makes me feel like I am in the story watching and participating.

Sutton and Jensen were complex characters in thier own way. Sutton still feeling the pain of her last relationship with her ex that has moved into the limelight so it isn't always easy to hide from. Jensen is trying to pick himself back up after surgery and prove that he has what it takes in the sport to keep moving forward in his career. For both of these characters family's past issues keep throwing up walls and they are built pretty strong.

As we watch the friendship grow between Sutton and Jenson, it is clear to see that giving trust is an issue. Before they know it that friends is slowly morphing into something on a whole new level. Neither of them was looking for a relationship.

Can she help Jensen move forward with his career? Will her mental coaching theory get her what she is looking for with her degree? Will these closed off people be willing to open their hearts and truly give their feelings a chance? Be ready for some twists and surprises as you read their story.

I am seriously hoping that there might be thought of growing this group of side characters into a series around the Monsoon team. A girl can dream, right!
