But I Smile Anyway…

Today I’ve got a stonker of a story, with cricket at the heart! Hit for Six by Isabella May is the first in a cricket romance series.

The Blurb

A simmering Fangirl Down X Rivals X Crazy Rich Asians (with a British twist)LOLA is juggling two jobs to make ends meet; underpaid sales exec by day, and waitress in a cocktail bar by night.

MONTY is the captain of Bath Beasts cricket team and heir to a portfolio of luxury properties.

Girls like her don’t normally end up with boys like him. But when she accidentally bares all at his cup final, destiny (and the number six) ensures their match is a home run.

Unfortunately, Monty’s family has other ideas, doing all they can to prevent their golden boy from getting bowled over by the lowly Lola. Can their love survive the attacking shot? Or will they find themselves on a sticky wicket?

My Review

Hit For Six: A Cricket Romance by Isabella May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well, a cricket romance… given my family connection to the gentleman’s sport, I had to read it!
And I loved it! I’m excited to hear that it’s the first in a series. 🙂
Lola is a young woman in a job where she feels she is being passed over for promotions in favour of the males in the business. She has to accompany the team to a local cricket match, and it turns into a rather eventful team-building day out.
Monty is the captain of the team, and he ends up with an eyeful after a spectacular six, which he will never forget for the life of him.
The story centres around these two characters from two very different backgrounds, as they negotiate with life and families to make their own love story come true.
I loved all the cricket metaphors and the chemistry between Lola and Monty simmered well before it hit the boil, keeping me reading.
And I cannot wait for the next one now!
