Hard Ball is a romance novel written by C.D. Reiss and published earlier this year. I didn't know this author, but I did hear too many great comments about her writing, so when my people on the Playroom invited me to read it, I said yes.

The characters are very particular. Vivian is a librarian, and she works on a school where’s very easy find her sharing apples with Latinos kids. She is smart and love her work, also she love her dad who's a big fan of baseball. Our guy, Dash, is a very superstitious baseball player. He believes in the luck, in the lucky charms... in repeat rituals to get luck in the field. He's special.

They are the perfect opposites, but some may say that opposites are attracted.

One day Vivian goes to the stadium with the kids of her school and suddenly she's right in front of Dash. Maybe their first interaction wasn't something pleasant or that Vivian would like to remember, but that moment cross their paths.

It is a sport romance. So, if you enjoy baseball, for example, you will love this book. The novel is funny, sexy, romantic and very easy to read. My experience was amazing, because I wasn't just reading a great book I was sharing thoughts with my friends too, making theories and jokes about the story. The author have a nice way to connect with the readers through first person narration from both perspectives (male and female), making us discover every layer of their characters, their past and their hopes for tomorrow. 

One of the things I enjoyed the most about this book is the development of the characters. Both of them have a heavy baggage, have their little insecurities because of their past, but they help eachother to "fix" the problems, to become better persons for themselves and for the people who surround them. 

I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE! You can find this book on Amazon so, go and grab your copy dude. Don't forget leave a review for the author ;)
