Donβt miss this all new reverse age gap, sports romance!
As the rookie catcher of the Daytona Fury, I have a lot to prove. Not only do I need to be perfect on the field, but Iβm doing it all while fulfilling a promise to the woman who raised me. Graduating college was never as important to me as it was to my grandma, but I gave her my word that Iβd finish, even though my future in the majors was sealed. When I find out I need one more classβone I know nothing aboutβI decide to hire a tutor to help me through it. But as soon as we get into our lessons, I realize I want her to teach me much more than the curriculum suggests.
LARK
Starting over isnβt easy, especially when your ex-husband and his family are set on making it impossible. When I find myself without a job because they donβt want me switching to a βless respectable careerβ, Iβm stuck paying for my own tuition to make my dreams come true. So when a side gig tutoring the cityβs hottest professional baseball player in his Human Sexuality class lands in my lap, I take it, not expecting to feel all sorts of conflicting emotions once I get to know him. Ace Mathers may be ten years younger than me, but heβs determined to show me how to live.
Just when I thought I couldnβt like Candiceβs books any more than I did she gave us Ace & Larkβ¦.. the gods, where to start!
I loved Lark. Our FMC hadnβt had the easiest of times of late and was recently divorcedβ¦ that was a case of good riddance to dead weight is you ask meβ¦. anyhoo, I digress! Sheβs just lost her job and needs something to help her fund her way through college courses, enter a job offer that seems too good to be true – but unknown to her will be life changing. Larkβs growth through the story was fab. Older than Ace by 10 years, she had lost some of herself in her marriage but time with the younger ball player gradually brought back her love of life and made her realise that age is really just a number.
Ace⦠the gods, this guy. There was so much more to him than people gave him credit for and while his teammates all thought he was kinda like them, he was quite different. His reasons for finishing college were so sweet and his instant pull to Lark and what she could potentially be to him made me like him all the more.
This book is H.O.T, π₯βοΈπ₯ like seriously volcanic hot at times (a fan or maybe an ice bath might be needed at points!!) but this pair also spent a lot of time together fully dressed, having fun and enjoying life and those times added so much more to their relationship.
I loved how they stood up for each other and how supportive their friends and his team family were. It was great to catch up with Riggs and Monroe (will she ever not give him a hard time?! π) and we also saw more of Friggle in SP, to the point that Iβm now honestly intrigued by the person in the mascot outfit!!
This has been one of my fave reads this month and definitely one I recommend.

About the Author
Iβm C.L. Rose! Iβm a wife and mom of 2 from Northeast Ohio. Iβve always had a passion for writing, but was too scared to take the leap until the summer of 2023, when I began working on my debut novel, Hot Route. I always knew that Iβd start off with a football-related series because Iβm a huge fan of the sport. And since Iβm a New England Patriots girl, what better city to write about than Boston? So the Boston Blizzard was born! The past year of this journey has been nothing short of a dream come true and I canβt wait to see where it goes!
βBooks are a uniquely portable magic.β
β Stephen King
My favourite genre is PNR - yep, more than happy to admit that Iβm a bit of a #parawhores...... but small town is a very close second!!! In saying that, Iβll read and review a real mix of genres - from the better known authors to new-to-me authors and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy the posts and that they might lead you to some βnew to youβ authors.
Thanks for stopping by.
