I’m a huge fan of sports. I’m a Bostonian so I have some of that just naturally in my blood. Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins…love them all. And I love even more when authors incorporate sports into their books. I’ve been known to read a book just because it has a sport I love in it. So not ashamed of that.
Anyway Michelle Smith, author of Play On, is bringing us the second book in the Lewis Creek series, Game On. Game on will be available in stores and on line in January 2016 (and for preorder soon) but today I am bringing you the cover.
Personally I loved the cover for Play On. It was simple but eye-catching for those sports enthusiasts like myself but not too much for someone that isn’t as big of a fan. With that said I was curious what the Game On cover would look like. Spoiler alert…I wasn’t disappointed.
Are you reading for it?

Game On by Michelle SmithSeries: Lewis Creek
Published by Spencer Hill Press
Eric Perry is Lewis Creek's resident bad boy. When he’s named the new starting pitcher in a town that thinks baseball is everything and he is nothing but trouble, Eric knows he has to clean up his act. Lay low, his coach tells him—at least long enough to actually pitch a game. But when a fight with his teammate lands him in jail yet again, his season may be over before it starts…until his next door neighbor, Bri, comes to the rescue. Making a deal with Eric's coach, she offers him one final chance at redemption: community service.
Bri Johnson hadn’t talked to Eric in months. Her boyfriend Matt, Eric’s teammate and the school’s golden boy, didn’t like her to be around Eric. Matt didn’t like a lot of things Bri did or said or wore, which is why she ends it with him the same night he and Eric get into a fight—a fight over her. That night is the reason Bri offers to take Eric with her to the community center each week, so he can keep his spot on the team. But spending time with Eric only makes her life worse, as scandalous rumors start flying and Matt refuses to let her move on.
While Eric and Bri work closely together at the center, old stories of stargazing, first kisses, and a time when they were friends start to re-connect them. As they open up their secrets and their hearts to each other, they start to see that they are more than what other people think they are—and even more than what they think about themselves.
Gorgeous right? As a fan of blue I know I need this on my shelf!
