Fight for your dreams, even if it means breaking a few rules.
Seventeen-year-old Ryan Russell has life perfectly planned. If she keeps up her hard work, one day she’ll take over the family business: owning the Buckley Beavers, a minor league baseball team, and become one of the only female General Managers in the sport.
But when the newest member of the Beavers, child-phenom Sawyer Campbell, shows up, Ryan’s carefully laid plans are thrown a major curveball. Sawyer is far more charming than the arrogant jocks she usually manages, his ambition rivals her own workaholic nature—and he’s completely out of bounds. Fraternizing is against every rule in the Beaver’s handbook.
Then Ryan’s divorced parents butt heads over the future of the Beavers, and her mom plans to sell her shares to a business group known for relocating teams. If this happens, Ryan’s dreams of becoming GM disappear. In a bid to save her future, she partners with Sawyer to use his star power to draw in sponsors who will keep the team in Buckley. But the more time she spends with him, the more impossible it becomes to play by the Beaver’s rules, and she can’t afford a strikeout on the path to her dreams.
Full count with two outs, Ryan’s one pitch away from losing the whole ball game.

I had always loved books about sports, especially baseball. I had never played baseball but I am always watching it and a big fan of the game. I love reading books about baseball, and when I found that this book is about baseball, I knew that I had to check out. It was different from the other books that I read in the past that involved baseball, but it a good way. STEALING HOME was the type of book that didn’t take me long to get into the story, and there wasn’t anything that I didn’t love about this book. Baseball, romance, drama, family. All of those are everything that I love about YA. Once I started reading it, was hard for me to put the book down, and if it wasn’t for work, I wouldn’t have. There was something about this book, the way it was written and the story, the character that the more I read it, harder I fell in love with the story. I also love book about sports romance, I have a friend who writes those and I can’t get enough of them. STEALING HOME was the book that I am glad that I came across.
My favorite character, which is a hard one for me. I loved both Ryan and Sawyer, who were both unique in their own way. Ryan, you could tell how much she loved baseball and I couldn’t help but wonder how her mother didn’t see, how she didn’t see how passionate she was about running the team one day. I was sure that she would see it, when she would see how hard she was fighting to make sure that her mother wouldn’t sell her part of team. I loved how passionate Ryan was about the team, and how she tried to come up with ideas, to make sure that her mother didn’t sell the team. I was angry with Ryan’s mother, for not at least hearing her out. I don’t blame for Ryan being angry with her. I do admit that the ending did surprise me, but I feel that her mother finally realized how much the team meant to Ryan. I loved the relationship that Ryan has with her father, and how both of them worked together. Their relationship reminds me a lot of relationship with both of my parents.
Sawyer and Ryan, it was clear how much Sawyer cared about Ryan. Considering how he wanted to help her with trying to save the team, and the ideas that they both came up with. I think that the both of them made an amazing team. It didn’t take long for me to notice how the both of them felt about each other. I couldn’t help if Sawyer and Ryan would end up together, or if she would keep pushing Sawyer away due to her rule. I was sure that at some point she might push him away too much. I was rooting for both of them through the entire the book. Once I reached the ending, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen next. STEALING HOME is a story that you will find yourself wondering about long after you reach the last page. I highly recommend this book to all YA, Sports and romance fans.
