*Starred Review* Star right fielder Halo Todd is the team's ultimate ladies' man, but this is the first time a woman dressed as a chicken has asked him to put on a rooster's costume and pose as her fiancé for a TV game show. Turnabout is fair play, so now it's Alyn Jane's turn to pose as his fiancée to keep his many adoring and oh-so-willing female fans at bay. In exchange, Halo will give Alyn the seed money for the antique store she's always wanted. Alyn is hesitant about their deal, because she's still reeling after her father died, her fiancé dumped her, and her business partner cleaned out their joint bank account. However, when she sees the mutual affection among Halo and her mother, kid brother, and even their paralyzed dog, Alyn begins to realize that this playboy is maturing into the real deal. A second romance between the third baseman, Landon Kane, and the town photographer adds another layer of love. A perfect balance of playfulness and poignancy, this continues Angell's hilarious and heartwarming series set in the beachfront town of Barefoot William, Florida (No One Like You, 2015).--Mosley, Shelley Copyright 2016 Booklist
