Baseball wasn’t supposed to be a game of life and death…

The summer that Chase Stern entered my life, I was seventeen. The daughter of a legend, the Yankees were my family, their stadium my home, their dugout my workplace. My focus was on the game. Chase … he started out as a distraction. A distraction with sex appeal poured into every inch of his six foot frame. A distraction who played like a god and partied like a devil.

I tried to stay away. I couldn’t.

Then, the team started losing.
Women started dying.
And everything in my perfect world broke apart.

My Review!

Let’s take a minute to talk about the cover! The cover for moonshot was the first thing that drew me in. I love this cover and the fact that even though moonshot was a dual point of view the cover focuses on Ty but…also Chase with his jersey. I love the fact that the cover isn’t all sexed up. Way to go on an amazing cover!

Okay now on to the inside of Moonshot!

I LOVED MOONSHOT!!!!

Moonshot was a book that i wish would never end. It had everything a novel has to offer. Angst, romance, and a little mystery. This is the  novel that is going to be a bench mark for all other Sports Romance novels i read in the future.

Ty Rollins is a seventeen year old girl who’s life revolves around baseball and the New York Yankees. Her dad Frank Rollins is the number one Closer in the MLB and she has been traveling with the NYY since she was a young girl after her mom passed away.

When an altercation with one of his Dodger’s teammates occurs  Chase Stern gets traded to the NYY.  He has dreamed of wearing pinstripes since the beginning of his career.

I loved the instant connection between Ty and Chase even though the first time they meet is a little awkward but in a hilarious way. it involves a locker room and a very naked Chase Stern! The awkwardness only intensifies when he finds out she is the closer’s daughter and not to mention she is only seventeen.

I enjoyed the relationship between Chase and Ty; watching them become friends and then form a relationship. The late night date he took her on was one of my favorite scenes.

The dreaded night everything changed i was shouting at the book. I couldn’t believe the author would do something like that!! Who am i kidding of course i knew something was going to happen everything was perfect.

After another altercation Chase gets traded to Baltimore.

Four years pass and four murders are etched into the Yankee’s history. Everything has changed. Chase gets traded back to the Yankee’s to try and win the world series in hopes that the murders will stop. After four years you would think the connection the Ty and Chase had would have fizzled out by then and even though Ty is married the connection is still there, only stronger.

His fingers tightened on the ball and he forced his feet to stop moving, a few steps of separation between them. This close he could see her eyes. This close, he could almost smell her. This close, if she wanted to, she could crush him

The mystery aspect in Moonshot was an awesome throw in. It had me flipping through the pages faster than usual. I had to know what the reason behind the murders was! I guessed right on the why part halfway through!

The family aspect in Moonshot was by far the best I have read to this date. The father/daughter relationship between Ty and Frank Rollins was told wonderfully and was also believable. The two were inseparable and as close as can be.

I said spikes first in that bullpen to remind him of that. To remind him of the girl he’d raised. She wasn’t the type to go home when there was a game to be played.

I could literally sit here for hours talking about this book… . This is the first book I’ve read by Alessandra Torre. I’ve heard amazing things about her books in the past but never felt the need to pick them up but  I will definitely be picking up more of her books in the near future!

Peace Love and Happy Reading,
