Baseball is her life, but a musician is strumming on her heartstrings. Will they strike a bad chord or make the perfect double play?
Max Barlow never takes her eyes off the ball. With a rare college baseball scholarship up for grabs, she can’t afford to lose focus. But when she accidentally stumbles into the music room on her first day at Armitage High, she can’t help but notice the hot guitarist. And he’s made it clear he wouldn’t mind giving her lessons…
Rock star Cairo Hale has a reputation for being able to play his way into any girl’s heart. But his streak comes to an end with tomboy baseball player Max. While she makes him promise to keep their lessons a secret, it turns out she’s an absolute natural. It looks like Cairo’s generous offer has blossomed into so much more…
Max is torn between her team responsibilities, her newfound passion for the guitar… and her dreamy tutor. When she can no longer balance her double life, Max must make a choice that could change her future for good…
Strike Out is the second standalone book in The Barlow Sisters’ Trilogy, a series of simmering YA contemporary romance novels. If you like endearing characters, love-ballad-worthy chemistry, and a hint of mystery, then you’ll love Jordan Ford’s sports romance series.
I don’t really like that fact that this story begins at the same place Curveball and I can’t help myself to make a comparison between the two books. Although, the author has managed to not make things repetitive, I still would have liked it better if this book begins where the previous book ended.
I like to see how different the twins are despite them being identical. To me, I still can’t stop being amazed that two individuals who have the same features and physiques can be the total polar opposite.
I really don’t like it when Max was hiding her secrets from her family especially to her twin sister. It does not feel right. She’s not even doing something illegal and she should just declare her intentions right from the very beginning.
I love to see how happy and carefree Cairo’s family are to one another. Talk about family goals, they are one.
I can’t wait to read the next story from the youngest Barlow sister. I have a feeling that this one will be very interesting.
