My Kinda Player by Lacey Black
Series: Summer Sisters #5
Publication date: April 17th, 2018
Synopsis (according to Goodreads):
AJ Summer witnessed four of her sisters fall in love and settle down. But not her. She's stuck in a rut, destined to spend the rest of her life watching from the dugout, kissing frogs. Then one night, she meets a mysterious stranger, who makes her feel alive and realize she's not as broken as she thought--until she wakes up alone.
Sawyer Randall lost everything in a split-second when a game-winning play resulted in a career-ending injury. Looking for a fresh start, he settles into the cozy beach town of Jupiter Bay. A chance meeting with a gorgeous woman leaves him restless and anxious for something he swore he'd never want again--love.
But sometimes Prince Charming isn't who he seems. What happens when circumstances are misleading? Will their love be strong enough to see them through unscathed? Or will AJ be played by the player?
**Though part of a series, this book can be read as a standalone. It is intended for those 18 and over due to graphic language, descriptive sex, and the world's most inappropriate grandparents.

Excerpt
"Are you blind?! What kinda call was that?" AJ hollers at the ump behind home plate while the crowd around us boos and screams their frustration at the horrible call.
"Dude, your girl is vicious. Remind me not to get on her bad side," Dylan mumbles to me as we watch AJ rant at the umpire.
"No shit," I reply, shocked that such harsh words just came from my sweet little schoolteacher's mouth. "It's kinda hot, though."
"Definitely," my brother replies quietly. "Did you see how many hotdogs she ate?"
"More than you."
"More than you and me combined, bro. A woman who looks like that, talks like a sailor, and can hold her own in a hotdog eating contest? Marry her, dude."
I snort in reply, merely because I'm afraid if I open up my mouth right now, I might actually propose. If I was falling in love with this woman before today, well, seeing her in my element, trash talking, and burping warm beer has pretty much sealed the deal for me. There's no doubt in my mind that I've fallen head over heels in love with AJ Summer.
"Can you believe that call? What kinda horseshit is that? A blind monkey humping a football could have seen the tag! He was out by a mile," she seethes, her eyes burning with fire and passion.
"I saw," I tell her, wrapping my arm around her shoulders and pulling her into my side. "Horrible call."
"The worst," she grumbles.
"You're scaring the big burly guys behind us, honey," I tease.
She glances over her shoulder at my words. "You mean Bill and Tom? Shit, who do you think taught me those bad words?" she asks, making me laugh. "They really appreciated the autographs, though," she adds. As soon as the Rangers fans sat down behind us before the game started, they recognized me and started chatting. I signed a few autographs for them and a handful for others in the vicinity.
