Emma Stevens has a secret, one she doesn't want reporter Jason Levine to find out. So when he shows up at her counter wanting to know everything about her bakery, Emma will do just about anything to keep him away. Unfortunately for her, Emma is just as drawn to Jason as much as she wants to push him away. Lucky for him, that means he won't be tasting her "new" cupcake flavor anytime soon. After a small town carnival and bachelor auction, word gets around that there might be something other than flour in the air between Emma and Jason. Will Emma's secret batter predict happiness for these two?

Oh, my gosh! This book was absolutely adorable. Batter Up is a sweet romance with a set of crazy adorable characters. Emma doesn't quite know what to think of Jason. She's immediately drawn to him, but the moment she finds out that he's a reporter, she's determined to make him stay away. She helps all the bachelors in her small town to find their soul mate and she's thrown for a loop when her potential match steps into her life. Emma cracked me up. I adore her. She's sweet and caring to those she loves, but she'll turn on you in an instant the moment you cross her. I loved Jason and felt he was a perfect match for Emma. He started as a skeptic, but it didn't take long for Emma and the town of Buttermilk Falls to win him over. As a couple, I loved Emma and Jason together. I smiled during Emma's bidding war. I cringed during the kissing booth (poor Jason!). I just thought they were so cute together. The secondary and background characters were a lovely supporting cast for Jason and Emma. I loved their friends. They were both supportive and willing to kick some butt if it was needed. Buttermilk Falls is definitely a small town I would love to visit. It is filled to the brim with crazy lovable citizens, each with their own matchmaking story to tell.

Everything about Batter Up was adorable. From the cover to the characters to the small town setting, everything felt as if I stepped into a Hallmark movie. And since I have a deep love of Hallmark movies, Batter Up was right up my alley. I would love to read more about the citizens of Buttermilk Falls, especially a pair of friends whose budding romance appeared towards the end of Batter Up.
