On the DL by Laramie Briscoe Release Review + Giveaway

I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

On the DL is the first book in the MVP Duet from Laramie Briscoe. Since it is a duet that might give you a hint at what kind of ending you can expect from this book. However the second book is not far away so that make so that makes it much more bearable.

Slater “Savage” Harlow: Winning the MVP award from the Birmingham Bandits last year was the highlight of my baseball career It was the culmination of childhood dreams, calculated adult decisions, sacrifice, and a hell of a lot of focus. Tearing my ACL in spring training? Not what I expected at all. Now I am home in small tow Georgia, rehabbing in the comfort of my own home with people I know. I’m connecting with friends I haven’t had time to talk to in years, spending days at home with my parents, and getting to watch my little brother play minor league baseball. What I don’t expect is to see Malone Fulcher walking into Del’s Diner one morning while having my coffee and egg whites. She’s my old flame, the one who got away, and the woman I compare all others to.

Malone Fulcher: Spending the summer in my hometown wasn’t what I had planned, but it’s what I I need. Recovering from a hear year, both personally and professionally, I need to reconnect with who I am. when my mom encouraged me to come home and do some soul searching, I can’t say no. Memories area ll over this small town, from the Baptist Church to the east field on my parents farm, to the diner. On my second day in town, I decide to go in, memories be darned. I lost my breath as soon as I saw “Savage” Harlow sitting alone at a booth. Our eyes lock, my heart flutters, and my hands shake- all the same way they did back in high school. But back then we couldn’t make it work. Going our separate ways to differing colleges, we decide we weren’t meant to be. A decade later, as soon as our eyes meet, I’m wondering if we were right, because those green eyes of his do nothing but take me to a past that I can see being my future.

On the DL is a second chance romance. Back in high school Slater and Malone were a couple and he even asked her to be his wife and she said Yes!! His dream was to make it to the big league and give her the life she deserved. However Malone had a dream of her own and she hadn’t told anyone about it. So, when a letter from the University of Georgia comes she accepts right away. However when she tells Slater about it he goes off the deep end. Rips the ring right off her finger and leave for Alabama without a backwards glance. Now ten years later these two are back in their hometown and the sparks are going to fly. I loved these two characters and I wanted them together so bad I couldn’t stand it. This book is absolutely amazing and will have you not wanting to put it down at all. Then your gonna want the second book. I hope you give this book a chance. Second chance romances are some of my favorites, and On the DL is now one of my favorites.
