I wasn’t able to read this one as I have not been able to download a copy. As I was bot able to read the book, I will still give it a five star review because it was not the author’s fault.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I love a good sports-related teen novel but this book was quite predictable and could have used a bit more lead up or mystery.

This was such a cute YA read! I loved the concept and Josie and Garrett's banter had me laughing throughout the book. I will definitely keep an eye out for more from Amy Fellner Dominy.

I love everything about this book! If you're looking for swoony YA contemporary romance, Amy Fellner Dominy delivers. I devoured this book in one sitting and am waiting eagerly for her next offering.

ANNOUNCING TROUBLE features the usual teen issues with their parents and about finding one's way in life. Both Josie and Garrett have been let down by the men (father) in their lives, and this influenced and shaped their character. That could be the reason why these two main characters are more mature than most in the YA books I've read, and it's this very maturity that is so attractive, making for a mature and interesting read. Like in How to Quit Your Crush, the storyline flows, and the characters are both lovable and easy to relate to. Their witty banter had me laughing out loud, and their chemistry was unbelievable. Josie got courage in spades, and Garrett was so sweet! What he did to win Josie over just about melt my heart.

I first read HOW TO QUIT YOUR CRUSH, the book after this in terms of chronological sequence of events, but really, it doesn't matter. You can enjoy each book on its own. I can't wait for the next one from this author!

I love sports romance and I love entangled teen books! This was so good! I loved the characters and I loved this so much!! I 1000% recommend this book!

Enjoyable, if predictable. I wanted a bit more from the title, but enjoyed the read all the same. I would recommend this title to those who love romance and are looking for something quick.

I love a good baseball romance I loved Josie and Garette and how swoony Of a romance they have and this was all and all a fun read

I received a free copy for an honest review.

I liked this book! When I first requested and received this book (thanks Entangle teen), I was really just looking for a standard YA contemporary book where I can "read and chill" and gush over overly cliché YA contemporary storylines. Hence why I enjoyed it.

The romance is cute, which largely is thanks to the realistic portrayal of the cast that makes it so no character is annoying enough to make me want to kill my Kindle. The contemporary story managed to have a fair amount of conflict to keep the story going without being too overdramatic to the point of being unbearable.

To sum up, what this book it's like, it's really just the typical YA Entangle Teen perfect for relaxing. But beware: your enjoyment of this book can drastically change depending on what you are craving now. Because I was just craving a fun contemporary book to read with an enjoyable romance, I liked this book. But if I'm wasn't...then this would've been a horrible reading experience and I would have shredded this book in this review due to its unoriginal and "boring" storyline.

So as long as you know what you want (especially if you are just craving an easy fiction book), I would (or would not) recommend this book.

Rating 3.5/4

Announcing Trouble was such a fun and fast-paced read! I love baseball romances and this one had the added bonus of hate-to-love. Josie and Garrett’s banter and sexual tension were off the charts and I loved every moment between them! Josie’s voice was funny and I loved hearing her in action as an announcer at the games. Overall, Announcing Trouble was a very cute and entertaining read!

Actual Rating: 4.5 stars

Ohh I loved this book. I'm such a sucker for sappy, fun, sporty YA romances. I think the characters were great and had witty banter together. I'm also a sucker for a good "hate to love" romance, which this book had ALL of. I think the ending was a little off-character for the leading lady, but I'm not overly surprised.

Josie may know everything there is to know about baseball. But that doesn't mean she likes it. Or like Garrett- who is a player sidelined broadcasting the home games. When he convinces Josie to help commentary their chemistry heats up in the booth. The back and forth, and banter. They are good together. After hating baseball for so long, Josie realizes that she may be starting to like the game again. And Garrett. Which could be a problem. When Garrett needs to decide on their future, or a second-chance at his dreams- Josie knows that baseball will win every time.

This is a YA novel, about dreams, passion, and the characters trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives. Josie and Garrett are only months away from graduating. Josie thought she had everything all figured out. Who whole life planned out. Garrett sidelined from baseball after an injury, but wanting to remain close to his love, his dream. Garrett convinces Josie to take up commentary and broadcast home games with him. And show Josie that even though baseball may be tinted with bad memories, she still loves the sport. Will Garrett choose baseball- his dream since as far back as he can remember, or will he choose Josie the girl who he may be falling in love with?

This book was everything I would love and expect from a YA romance. It was light, with some emotion twined in, fun with banter. It was sweet, and adorable, and makes me nostalgic for high school. The choices laid before you, and trying to figure out what the heck you want to do with your life. The dreams, and passion, and looking forward to what is next. Perfect summer time read. If you love YA romance, then this is the book for you! 4⭐ out of 5⭐.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.

I've never really been someone who enjoys baseball - it's not really a thing that's played over here - but even so, when I first saw this book online, I was immediately intrigued and dove right in as soon as my request had been approved. Josie has always loved baseball, and knows the sport like the back of her hand. However, when her deadbeat dad left them to and regain some of his old glory as a mid life crisis, Josie was immediately turned off from the sport, and wants nothing to do with it. So when she goes to a game at school, just to support her friend who has a crush on one of the players, she finds herself angry with the announcers, who know nothing, and interrupts the commentary to basically take over, and do a proper job. This soon leads to Josie becoming one of the permanent colour commentators, along with injured pitcher Garrett, and though she doesn't want to get close to him, and be hurt like her mam was by a baseball player, she can't find it in herself to stay away, from him, or from the sport.

I really liked this book, and like I said, I'm a complete baseball novice, but that didn't hinder my enjoyment at all. Josie was one of the best main characters I've ever read, being witty and sarcastic, but also had a softer side, more vulnerable, that we saw come out as we learnt more about her family history. Being just her and her mam, Josie has always had a plan to go into business and stay as far away from baseball as possible, but now with the competition, and her realisation that her love for the game doesn't have to be tainted by her hatred of her father, Josie doesn't know what to do. I felt like this was probably the most realistic part of the book, as a lot of 17/18 year olds question their choices, when it comes to going to university, or getting a job, or something different, and Josie's internal struggles really seemed authentic.

The romance between Josie and Garrett was a nice, slow burn, with the chemistry being off the page from the get go. I loved the banter between them, how they played off each other, and both actively fought their attraction, but it was bound to happen. They really seemed to help each other too, get to grips with what they wanted to do with their lives, and stop lying to themselves about what they want, or what they are capable of doing. All in all, Announcing Trouble was a really cute read, and I look forward to reading more from this author in future.

Announcing Trouble is a young adult sports romance by author Amy Dominy. Announcing Trouble is such a cute read, and it is perfect for these hot summer months. It will put a smile on your face and it will make you laugh and even swoon. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and it made me excited to read more from Amy Dominy.

In Announcing Trouble we meet Garrett and Josie, our two main characters. Josie is a used to be fan of baseball, but she blames baseball for many bad things in her past, so now she is bitter towards the game. Garrett is bitter as well, because he was on his way to becoming the next big player, or at least a high school star, when an injury took him off the field. They enter each other’s lives in the sports broadcasting booth. Garrett because he wants to stay as close as possible to the sport that he loves, and Josie because she just can’t help herself. Josie cracked me up. Right from the moment when she runs into the broadcasting booth to lay into the announcer, she had my heart.

Announcing Trouble is a feel good contemporary romance full of heart, plenty of banter, and lots of baseball fun. I think fans of the sport will really enjoying watching these two bond, even if it is somewhat reluctantly over baseball, and watching their story come together. I really enjoyed Announcing Trouble. I think it is a must read for fans of young adult sports romances.

Thanks to Amy Fellner Dominy, Entangled Teen Crush, and Chapter by Chapter for a free eARC in exchange for an honest review. I can't get enough of these sports romances--and this one is BASEBALL!

Josie lived and breathed baseball until the day it caused her heart to walk out the door without a backward glance. It's taken a while for her and her mom to pick up the pieces and move on with their lives, sans baseball of course. When Josie turns 18, she'll officially become a partner in her mom's business--it's what they've been talking about and working toward, it's what helped get them through the dark time.

When Josie's best friend (somehow) drags her to a baseball game, she can't bare to hear the awful color commentary, no matter how much she now hates the game. She barges in to give him a piece of her mind and somehow Garrett, an ex-baseball player who is dedicated to call the plays at their high school baseball games, convinces her to take the job as his partner.

The banter between Josie and Garrett is honestly AMAZING. I just wanted to read about their conversations for much longer than the book provided. Garrett was such a sweetheart who was a genuine optimistic. You'll definitely be swooning over these two!

You all must know by now that I love my hate-to-love books, but it was truly special reading about this transition in the love of the game. Dominy's writing showed this beautiful progression, building up the tension and pulling heart strings. This baseball romance is a win in my book!

If you love baseball, summery feel good reads, and YA contemporary romances Announing Trouble by Amy Fellner Dominy is for you. It’s a story filled with fun banter, laugh out loud moments, baseball, and dreams.

In Announcing Trouble, the main characters, Josie and Garrett, are high school seniors along with their friends. Josie has a practical future ahead of her post high school, and Garrett is still striving for his dream of playing baseball despite being sidelined due to an injury. The pair comes together for a broadcasting competition after Garrett talks Josie into it.

What I loved most about Announcing Trouble was the fun, hilarious banter between Josie and Garrett. There’s no doubting that this pair have chemistry. Honestly, Josie’s saracasm was so good. I know I wrote some of her quips in my journal. I also loved Josie’s best friend. I think she was a perfect counterpart to Josie.

I really appreciated both of their perspectives regarding their individual, post high school futures. Dominy did a great job at developing both characters and their back stories. It was easy to understand each of their struggles and to cheer for them as they grew and learned together.

If I could have changed anything, I probably would have loved to have read a bit of Garrett’s perspective. While I loved Josie, I just think seeing things from Garrett’s point of view would have been fun. Especially in the beginning, when he was trying to convince Josie to broadcast with him.

So I’d highly recommend checking out Announcing Trouble by Amy Fellner Dominy. It’s absolutely perfect for summer and baseball season. & I hope you’ll love and cheer for Josie and Garrett as much as I did.

Announcing Trouble is my first book by Amy Fellner Dominy and I really liked it, both the story and the writing. Can't wait to read more by this author.

So much fun!! I love Amy Fellner Dominy's books, and this one is so different from her others, but SO good!! Love the progression the main character makes, and think many girls will relate to her. For those middle and high schoolers who want a romance book to read, I'll be recommending this one alongside Kasie West, Elizabeth Eulberg, Sandhya Menon, & Jenny Han.

Such a fun read! I don't even like baseball (for reasons not nearly as good as Josie's; it's just so darn boring) but it didn't matter at all...and for a change it had nothing to do with characters in tight-fitting baseball pants ;)

Josie and Garrett's story was my first read from this author, but definitely not my last! Announcing Trouble is more than just a YA sports romance--it's a book about letting go of the past and finding your own path to a new beginning. It's a story about first love that is refreshingly free of OTT angst, with characters it's easy to root for. The story is told in first person POV (Josie's) which really worked for me here. Initially I was a bit bummed that we weren't going to get Garrett's POV as well, but a few chapters in I found myself not minding a bit.

The back and forth between Josie and Garrett is some of the best parts of this book (toward the end, Garrett doesn't even have to be on page to be contributing to their banter, which was genius) and pretty much guarantees that Amy Fellner Dominy is an author I'm going to be keeping an eye out for!

Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Josie carries with her a great pain from the past, something she still can't forget and that ended up marking her change her dreams when she meets Garrett she couldn't imagine how her life would change for better. Problem is, she doesn't want to open up to this change and struggles so hard not to let the boy get too close to her.
Garrett is a prince who is enchanted by the mysterious girl who knows a lot about baseball and who comes into his life in an unpretentious and challenging way.
A cute love story where both of them will have to face changes to move on and overcome difficulties. Josie needs to learn to live in present and dream about the future and Garrett will show and prove he is worth of every risk.
Narrated only by Josie, I could see how much she suffered and how slowly Garrett was gaining her confidence and breaking down her barriers.

when you grow up following your baseball-obsessed parent around the globe, only to be abandoned by him for japan, you are probably going to be a bit bitter about it. in announcing trouble, meet josie walters, baseball orphan, stuck living in a small town in the middle of nowhere while she and her mom recover from her dad's emotional warfare.

when her friends drag her to a baseball game, she is so not into it. but then listening to the announcers provide horrendous color commentary she cannot stay quiet for long. bursting into the booth, she takes the mike from the ill-informed nathan and finds herself conscripted into becoming garrett reeves' on-air partner.

if only he weren't another baseball-obsessed person. a pitcher who might never play the game again due to injury, he's started sideline announcing the games to stay close to the sport he loves. and when he meets josie, all he knows is that this is a girl worth pursuing.

there is fun and hilarity and heart in this story, and it's just the perfect summer ya read.

**announcing trouble will publish on august 5, 2019. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (crush) in exchange for my honest review.
