I'm a sports romance addict, and while I prefer them to be high quality (Elle Kennedy, etc.) I'll read some subpar KU sports romances without a problem. Unfortunately, this one has too many incomplete sentences in the first few pages for me to even give it a shot. Bummer because baseball is my FAVORITE sport, and there are far too few good baseball romances.

High school baseball star Breslin nearly destroys his career prospects due to a public altercation with a reporter. He’s now a Freshman in college trying to climb back up the baseball ranks.
Liv has dreams of becoming a baseball scout, coming from a family whose name is famous in the industry. Also a Freshman, she gets a job at the school newspaper and is gunning for the baseball beat.

I’m really torn on this book because I quite enjoyed the storyline, and we go on a very emotional journey with our MMC; however I disliked the FMC quite strongly - she came across as a naive nepo-baby and didn’t really seem to change much by the end which personally rubbed me the wrong way.

I believe this is the first in a series so we may see more development from Liv in the next book.

This is a well written book, and there were definitely some really emotional scenes from Breslin as he grapples with the death of his mother and rejection from his father which really got me.

this was my first book by this author and i gotta say... more please. great read. just what i needed from this type of book.
the banter. the swoon. the "please come on get it together" you feel and wait for. yup, this book hit the spot of the genre and plot i needed from it.
bring on the next book of her for me to read...

In Chasing Headlines we have Breslin (or coop) and Olivia. Breslin is a baseball player and Olivia is pursuing her dreams of becoming a scout while studying as a journalist in the interim. This is a dual pov, which i love because you can see both characters develop and grow. This was my first book i read by Jen and I was genuinely impressed by her writing. The banter between liv and coop was amazing i found myself engaged in this book, never wanting to put it down.

Tropes included :
🦋 enemies to lovers
🦋 a lot of banter
🦋 forced proximity
🦋 fake dating
🦋 slow burn
🦋 small town
🦋 mental health rep
🦋 found family
