Southpaw: an enemies-to-lovers sports romance Kindle Edition

Sutter Mason is sick and tired of ballplayers. And pitchers? The worst!

She’s over their inflated egos. Done with their magnetic charm. And as far as she’s concerned, the broken promise the last ace left her with was her final strike in the game of love.

The problem? Her dad is the coach of the hometown minor league team. And the hot new lefty who just joined the squad? He’s her brother’s new roommate. This time around, instead of falling for the player, she’s going to use him to get what she wants—the perfect case study for her psychology thesis.

No dates. No feelings. Zero extra innings. Simply a business relationship that ends when the season is done or Jensen Hawke is pulled up for prime time.

Arizona Monsoon rookie Jensen Hawke is laser focused—on proving he’s more than just hype, on breaking the league’s strikeout record, and on getting called up to the big leagues.

Jensen doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t even really do friends. But his stubborn attitude is getting him in trouble on the mound. His control comes and goes. His curveball is a mess. And every time his roommate’s cute sister points out that it’s probably all in his head, he wants to scream.

But when a single conversation with her seems to up his game, Jensen decides maybe he’s got time for one relationship while he chases his dream. Just a little positive mental coaching. Nothing but two people working toward shared goals.

So what if Sutter Mason gets him more than anyone ever has. Believes in him in a way that makes him believe too. Looks at him like he’s actually special. And so what if he’s starting to feel things he swore off for good.

In baseball, sometimes all it takes is one spectacular play to change the game. And Jensen Hawke and Sutter Mason didn’t see each other coming. With love on the line, everything is riding on this next pitch.

* Southpaw is a standalone, new adult, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy-sunshine baseball romance full of angst, steam and swoon.

I have to say, despite not liking Sutter for a huge portion of the book, this was a good quick read. Sutter was difficult for me to like. She was a manipulator, knew she was and pushed it to her advantage with her family and Jensen. The thing with her brother’s apartment really bothered me for some reason. She didn’t understand boundaries and took advantage of the fact her brother would never call her on it. Jensen genuinely didn’t like her at first and it was a little bit of a thaw for the relationship to start developing. Definitely no instalove for these two. This one is a slow burn, one time minor 2nd base steam at @ 60% then nothing until 80%. The two were spending all their time developing their relationship. Jensen needed someone like Sutter to push him out of his comfort zone. He was focused solely on baseball and he needed to get out of his head. Sutter helped him develop positive focus techniques for pitching. But also showed him it was worth taking a chance to have a relationship and baseball. He did the same for her on their relationship, because she didn’t want a repeat of her previous bad experience. I liked Jensen because he had the confidence he was going to make it even though he was stubborn about taking advice. Even with the confidence, he recognized he wasn’t the best out there and he had his flaws.

This story starts of as a business arrangement that turns into a friendship that turns into forever ❤️

They did things right by building their foundation slowly and her basically crashing all his defenses to the ground lol

They are so cute together once they admit they have feelings and finally cross that boundary that he wouldn’t let himself cross until she essentially forced his hand lol

Their ending is also a begging in a way as they don’t break up they find their way to the next levels of their careers together ❤️❤️

I loved the side characters in this story too! Kiki her best friend and Billy her brother. Amber —his sister.

It would be fun to see Billy and Kiki get stories of their own also!

This was the great palate cleanser/easy “get out a slump” read. Fast paced, actual plot, spicy and hallelujah for no miscommunication trope! I’ve been looking for more baseball sports romances and this fit the bill.

Sutter is getting over a bad breakup and is struggling to figure out how she’s going to finish her thesis paper on motivational therapy and mental game since her previous boyfriend was her subject of study. She meets her brother’s new roommate, Jensen, who is a new pitcher for the triple-A team her dad coaches. Sutter is determined to help Jensen get out of his head, finish her thesis and to be completely professional about it this time. Grumpy, standoffish Jensen seems to be the perfect candidate.

I think my only complaint with this was with some of the physical scenes where things seemed to come on realllllll strong out of no where, it seemed a little unnecessary. Still it was an enjoyable sports romance with a good story and likable characters.

I don’t know what it is about a sports romance but I’m all in every time I read a blurb for one. Too off to find a new author that does great and gives us great characters and I’m so extremely happy. Well this author took me by surprise for darn sure. I was expecting the same type of fun light flirty typical sports romance and boy was I mistaken. This is Sutter and Jensen’s journey and I was not expecting. I loved Jensen and his growth well his whole journey through the entire book. The way he was so honest about how he was troubled by negative thoughts and so much self doubts. The attraction between them was unavoidable in spite of Sutter not wanting anything to do with players something about Jensen was different. I loved them together. This story was so raw and beautifully written and I couldn’t recommend enough. Look forward to reading more books from this author.

This was my first Ginger Scott book. It will not be my last. I enjoyed Southpaw immensely. I literally could not put it down. The main characters were interesting & engaging & felt like real people I would want to know. I loved the intermingling of romance & baseball. This was an Excellent sports centered romance story.

There's no doubt that Ginger Scott is a phenomenal writer! How she manages to hook me within the first chapter EVERY TIME is some kinda magic.

Jensen was an incredibly stubborn and attractive hero, and Sutter was the determined hope he needed to believe in himself. Their chemistry was explosive, even if they fought it. This book was ace!

What a fab read. Will look for this author again. Its full of humour and sport and science. Sutter is a psychology student doing her thesis. She needs a new subject since her baseball playing ex used her methods to improve his game and promptly moved away and got engaged to someone else. Sutter is fun and when her brother offers a room to yet another baseball player whose head isnt where it should be, she pounces and he doesnt stand a chance. Its really good how she gets him to relax and how his game settles. What didnt I like....her name . Why on earth would you give her such an odd name?!

This is my first book by this author and it won’t be my last. Stutter thought that she found her happily ever after until her fiancé asks for the ring back and proposes to someone else with the same ring.

Left reeling she is trying to put herself together and the first thing she does is to move out of her brothers place because of the memories of her past relationship. At least that was the plan but in a need a comfort, she seeks solace in her old room not planning on finding out that her brother has a new roommate.

Enter Jensen, the newest recruit on the baseball team that Stutters dad coaches. Jensen doesn’t really want to make friends and he doesn’t want anything to do with his coach’s daughter but when an opportunity comes up, they end up working together.

I loved the journey that both characters took separately and today. You see how both of them change and start to excel in what they put their mind too.

Definitely a book I enjoyed.

I love Ginger Scott’s books. She is one if my favourite romance writers. Her stories always have so much detail and depth. This one felt a little rushed to me, and I didn't feel the same commitment to the MC happy ending. Still with reading, but not a fav.
