The Trade by Meghan Quinn

Can you pinpoint a time in your life where you realized you are completely and utterly screwed?I can. I got the dreaded phone call, the one every baseball player hopes and prays never comes. I was traded. Yeah, that phone call.Traded from my long time team of over ten years. And not just to any team, but my childhood rivals; the Chicago Rebels. Completely and utterly screwed, right? Wrong. The trade was the least of my concerns.I met a girl. Natalie. Man, she's perfect.I swore I would never get involved with anyone during the season. Too complicated. But can you believe I have zero restraint when it comes to this girl? I couldn't get her out of my head and the more I talked to her, the more I realized I needed her in my life. So what's the problem? Why am I screwed? Because, Natalie, the girl I can't stop crushing on, yeah . . . she's married. At least, that's what I was told . . .

Be prepared for a mental rollercoaster, and a long story that will captivate your heart, until it doesn't.
I love Meghan Quinn, don't get me wrong. She is my go to author when I need to relax or to have a palette cleanser in between strong books full of fantasy etc!
But why does the man always needs to be the one to fuck up? I mean, we all felt in love with Cory Potter, and he is not even my style. SpoilerTo change his character, his style like that, you just screw up the whole image of him. Their issues, their fight, doesn't fit him, isn't the Cory we loved. And talking about love, she doesn't love him also, because she can't support him, she doesn't try, she doesn't see what he is going through
I know we need a fight, something to break us, but she could definitely be the one that run away, especially with her fears, her low self esteem and her way of acting through the book. Unfortunately, I want to flush the last 30% of this book down the pipes and change the whole last part of it.
Oh well, of to another book of Quinn, one that will remind me why I love her so much.
