The latest in Becca Jacksons Banana Ball players universe. TOTALLY PLAYED is a mistaken twin, bi awakening romance.
From the blurb:
Meet Calvin Parks, the sweetest guy to ever set foot on a banana ball field.
CALVIN
I was just supposed to be a body double, a stand-in to save my twin brother Tony’s dating app rating after two no-shows, and a raging flu.
One quick drink, some polite small talk, and out.
Simple, right?
As a shortstop, I’m used to quick thinking, but even I’m surprised by how quickly I gave up the whole ruse. One smile from this guy and I’m spilling my guts.
I buy him dinner to make up for the switch up, and with the pressure off, what started as a fake out turns into a genuine good time. We bond over baseball, battle it out for the king of the claw machines, and somehow end up on Tim’s rooftop wrangling wayward kittens with the guys.
It's the best bro-date I’ve ever had.
Except I forgot one thing: coming clean to Tony. And when he reschedules his date with Ashley like we planned, I start feeling way too territorial for a straight man.
Why do I feel like I just gave up a grand slam... and I’m the idiot who pitched it?
Molly Otto's review:
Being a Banana Ball league player means you are on the road a lot, making it somewhat difficult to start a lasting relationship. What Calvin is not expecting is Ashley. Ashley is on the road a lot for his job, making him resort to hook up apps to get what he wants. When he is matched with Tony he gets Calvin, his twin, instead, and begins a beautiful friendship. What could be an awkward meeting ends up allowing Calvin to become comfortable with a man in a way he was never expecting. Ashley seamlessly fits into his world, making him give something deeper a chance. I will admit mistaken twin stories are not my usual jam, and frigging loved that Ashley wasn’t fooled, he just knew something was not right. Mix in the supportive relationship that Calvin & Tony have for one another, allowing them to be honest and open when they start feeling the dynamics shift. A great addition to an already fun series, I as usual cannot wait to see who is next in this world.
