Emily is a complete klutz. She claims that she would be able to trip over a chalk line, and at times, it seems that it's completely possible. She has a passion for the suffrage movement and thinks that men could have no place in her life. She's too busy. Her great aunts have a different opinion and decide that they should try to get her hooked up with a husband.
Carter runs into Emily at the roller rink - literally. She hurts her wrist and Carter escorts her home. He finds her different and wants to see more of her. He's the pitcher for the Manawa Owls baseball team, even though his family thinks that he should be working at his father's bank. He spends more and more time with Emily and falls in love with her.
Emily has come up with a great plan to raise awareness of the equality women deserve. She has invited the Bloomer Girls baseball team to come and play the Owls. Carter agrees on the condition that Emily play on the team for the Owls. Emily is hesitant but steps up to the challenge.
She has a habit for putting herself down and believing that she can't do things because she's clumsy. Her family tells her that all the time, and she has accepted it as fact. Carter sees this and wants her to see herself as he sees her. It's an uphill battle. Trust issues come to light and Emily has to face some facts about how she spends her time and why she has been ignoring God.
I was so glad that I read this book. I needed an uplifting, fun story to get me back on track. The third book in the series, Ride of Her Life, was $4.00 on pre-order and I went ahead and got that one as well. These two are currently $5.79 and Making Waves is $2.99. If you're in the mood for a nice romance with character, I recommend starting with Making Waves. Not because it's important to read them in order, but it's the cheaper of the 3 and I always like to start out cheaper when trying a new author. Personal preference I suppose. She's a great author, though, and I look forward to reading the third book. Good Book!
