The world of baseball may be familiar to most men, but women are more likely to out in left field. The protagonist in this novella, Cynthiana Davenport, is a novice to the sport, despite having lived near Dallas, Texas, the home of the Texas Rangers. Still as the daughter of rich and socially prominent parents, she knows involving a star player, Roberto Luque, in a fund-raising gala can only make the event more successful, even if she doesn't like him. What she doesn't anticipate is falling in love with a playboy as renowned in his profession as she is in high society. The appeal is mutual, perhaps inevitable; but despite all the advantages possessed by the two, they face a threat that tests their relationship to the utmost. Readers will enjoy a brief, pleasant interlude when they submerge themselves into the story of the growing attraction between the couple and the major challenges they face that just may break them apart, which include issues of ethnicity and class.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure romance!, March 1, 2013

"Homerun" by Ruth Roberts is deliciously romantic, but also full of surprises. I loved the characters and found them totally believable--also enjoyed disliking the villain, if that makes any sense. Just when I thought I had things figured out, they would take another 180 degree turn. This is a short, sweet story that kept me entertained (and guessing) to the very end. "Homerun" is well-written and definitely worth reading.

Homerun by Ruth Roberts is a reverse Cinderella story with a baseball theme. Roberts flawlessly combines America's favorite pasttime...with America's other favorite pasttime - reading romance novels!

5.0 out of 5 stars Grand Slam, February 25, 2013
This review is from: Homerun (Kindle Edition)
Fiery Irish redhead, Cynthiana Davenport, ignites each time she sees the charming major league baseball player, Roberto Luque and not in a good way. He’s a known playboy and she has chosen a career as a school teacher, not the socialite of her parents’ wishes. She won’t fall to his charm, at least not at first.

When they’re thrown together to plan a gala fundraiser, things change. She sees him in a different light and he can’t get the gorgeous, intelligent woman off his mind. When he returns to the Dominican Republic for his brother’s wedding, Roberto realizes he’s in love. Cynthiana, too, yearns for his return.

On the evening of the ball, Cynthiana introduces Roberto to a friend of her parents’. Max and Sharon Davenport return from Antigua and Max Davenport vows to ruin Roberto’s career if he won’t leave his daughter alone.

Cynthiana tries to trump her father’s hand, but her attempt angers Roberto. Tempers flare in this well written novella. Ruth Roberts has not only written a homerun but a grand slam. Nicely done.
