What’s wrong with my butt?
 
She means those words to be directed toward the woman beside her, not him. But he can’t stop himself
 
from answering. Not when her ass is the most magnificent thing he’s seen in his life.
 
Apparently, answering her with ‘not a damn thing’ wasn’t what she was expecting.
 
She likely wasn’t expecting the baseball she took to the face at his next at bat, either.
 
All it takes is one ill-fated foul ball, and George Hoffman, Lumberjacks center fielder, falls head over
 
heels in love with Wrigley Field—and yes, that is her real name.
 
From that point forward, George and Wrigley fall into a fast whirlwind love that ends with them eloping
 
to Vegas. And he has his potty mouth, titty bar owning, pain in the ass grandmother to thank for it.
 
Not that he’s complaining or anything.
 
Who wouldn’t want to be married to a woman that made his heart race like he was in the final game of
 
the World Series?
 
The only problem is trying to convince her of that.

Let me start with I abso-freaking-lutely love and adore George!!!!! With a nickname like Furious George you would not expect him to be such a loving, emotional, amazing man, but he is! Sexy, gorgeous, sense of humor, devoted…just all together swoon-worthy! He’s almost too good to everyone, including his horrible brother and sister. Wrigley, I have a feeling she is a heroine people are either going to love or hate. I liked Wrigley; did some of her actions irritate me? Yes in the beginning, but then we get a look into her mind and all the emotions she is going through because of everything that has happened in her life before George and then all that happens with him in basically about two years. He knocks her off her feet; literally, they get married, pregnant, the incident with her sister Diamond, and her douche-y brother Dodger, it’s a lot for anyone to go through.

George and Wrigley have some major hurdles to overcome and it’s not pretty most of the time, but George never gave up on his love for Wrigley. My heart hurt for both of them through most of the book, I could feel their connection and the internal hurt each were going through. Thank God for George’s Gram, she knew they were meant to be and never gave up on trying to make sure they got back together.

As much as I love George and Wrigley’s story, I did feel it was a bit choppy. I felt like I was getting snippets of their lives and not seeing as much of their actual relationship develop. Maybe it was the multiple time jumps throughout or maybe it was the length of the book, I can’t put my finger on it but I felt I was missing something.

Quit Your Pitchin’ is a funny, emotional, it’s about passion, making mistakes, learning to forgive and the undeniable love between two people who are truly meant to be together.

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 8, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
