Synopsis
Underdog Luke “Single” Singleton is yearning to make a comeback. After getting hit in the neck with a pitch—an injury that nearly cost him his life—he has one last chance to play for his hometown team, the Stockton Beavers. But his mom has Alzheimer’s, and he’s all she has to depend on. How can he pursue his career, much less someone special? Personal care aide Roberta Bennett is done dating baseball players. Having had her share of heartbreak, she heads to Stockton hoping for a fresh start. But after she finds Luke’s mom outside, lost, and alone, she can’t refuse when he hires her on the spot. Unbeknownst to Luke, Roberta is all too familiar with the violent tendencies of the pitcher who hit him. Now that they’re living under the same roof, the last thing either of them is looking for is a relationship. But it’s not long before they find themselves drawn to each other. And right when Luke is thinking about finally making a change to his single status, a secret from Roberta’s past emerges with the power to tear them apart.
Review
I received this ARC from IndieSagePR in exchange for an honest review...
First off I want to start by confessing that I have never been a huge fan of audiobooks. They generally move to slow for my liking since I'm a fast reader or they narrators speak in monotone voices, taking away from an authors amazing storyline. However, I had a super busy week full of writing papers, so I downloaded this audiobook on my iPhone and listened to it while studying. This audiobook was truly amazing and turned me into a fan of them finally. Both of the narrators did an extraordinary job capturing the true essences of the story. Audiobooks are perfect for busy beavers on the go that struggle to find time to sit down and read the book. Single by Collette West would be the perfect addition to your collection (audio or ebook). I loved how the story progressed so much that I picked up an ebook copy and re-read it this morning in between classes. I strongly recommend picking up your copy of Single today! :) Sorry about the short review. I'm currently taking a break from writing a paper so I had to make it quick!

About Collette West
Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball’s biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette‘s impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven. Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as manygames as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she’s not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com. She is the author of the New York Kings series which includes: NIGHT GAMES, GAME CHANGER, GAME ON, PERFECT GAME, INSIDE GAME and GAME WINNER.
