Cut from the Dallas Gunslingers baseball team when a vicious attack ruined his arm, star pitcher Rowdy Blanton has returned to Stardust to get his life back together. One means to that end is a tell-all autobiography that will expose the team's slimy manager for arranging Rowdy's career-ending attack. But for that he needs a ghostwriter, and Breeanne Carlyle, hard-core baseball fan and budding writer who has also had a crush on Rowdy since she was a teenager, is the perfect choice—for reasons he has yet to understand. Breeanne is thrilled, too, but doesn't quite get it, either. Does it have something to do with a mysterious trunk she bought and a cheetah print scarf?
VERDICT Amusing, passionate, and rampant with sexual tension, this magic-dusted escapade is just plain fun and a wonderful harbinger of things to come. Wilde (Christmas at Twilight) is an expert at developing endearing Texas communities and here gives fans another one to savor. She lives in Texas, perhaps not far from Stardust.
