About The Book: Release Date January 29, 2014

Seven days under the Louisiana stars with major league catcher Justin Harris left Brittney James broken hearted and pregnant. Ten years later, her son has baseball in his blood and idolizes the last man Britt ever wants to see again. When she reluctantly agrees to take her son to a game, the worst possible thing happens . . . he catches his hero’s grand slam ball. Justin asks for a meet and greet, but Brittney is terrified. How can she face him knowing the secret she’s kept from him all these years?

Justin Harris’s first grand slam is one for the record books, but his biggest shock comes from seeing the woman he loved and lost ten years ago up on the stadium screen. The fact that her son caught the ball gives him an opportunity to renew an old friendship. How will he react when he learns Brittney’s secret?

REVIEW: Grand Slam is a wonderful quick read about delayed true love and HEA! This is a novella/short story about a girl who I like to think made the right decision for the wrong reasons. I know that’s a bit cryptic, but read the story and you’ll fully understand.

“Misty Matthews” has done a terrific job of writing a wonderful, although too short – since I didn’t want it to go so fast – love story with wonderful characters. This marvelous tale centers around a young girl Brittany, just out of college, and working for Social Services. While on vacation, after graduation, she spent a week with a new and perfectly gorgeous baseball player. It was bittersweet as she thought she just couldn’t tie him down (mostly due to her father leaving her mom to follow his dream when she was a small girl).

The story picks up 10 years or so later when she has to take her son to a baseball game…his favorite team (and hers). Ok, that’s the setup…you really must read the rest for yourselves. It’s short and won’t take long, about two glasses of wine (or your fav beverage). I’d love to have seen this marvelous story worked into a full novel, I loved the characters and I’m a sucker for a HEA! Give yourself a treat and grab this one up and give it a read. Enjoy, I did!
