"If you keep being all sweet on top of the sexy, I'm going to have no choice but to completely fall for you." . . ."I'm a professional catcher, babe,. go on and fall, I've got you."

The story sounds fun from the blurb - a little "kidnapping" meet-cute - but the cheesy lines , superficial character development, make-everyone-happy, optimistic, do-gooder plus a reclusive ball player felt cloyingly sweet. It has it's moments but I was so disengaged from the story it was a chore to finish.

Objectively the story is probably three stars, but plays like a Hallmark movie. And you have to be in the mood for a Hallmark movie to take in the overabundance of unconditional happiness and enduring love, superficial characters and a plot line with little to no conflict.

It was a miss for me but if you want a clean, Hallmark-like sports romance pick up Catching Her Heart.
