4.9/5 (33879 ratings)

Description:WICKET MAIDEN is a groundbreaking romantic comedy set in the world of women’s cricket.It’s the start of a new season for professional women’s cricket team The Scorpions.Acclaimed batter Ellie, 32, is returning to the game after a long injury, determined to regain her form and her place in the England squad. This is her last chance, and she won’t let anything stand in her way.Cricket fan Adam, 34, an artist and photographer, has followed Ellie and the team through highs and lows. He’s drawn to her talent, athleticism and public persona - but is content to be a face in the crowd, cheering her on. He’d never date a famous person, anyway.When events on and off the pitch bring Ellie and Adam together, friendship blossoms, and their careers initially soar. Yet, with romance in the air, Ellie loses focus, jeopardising her dream.What’s more important to them both - love, or cricket?A share of the book’s royalties will be donated to pertinent clubs and organisations who champion the development of grassroots, girls’ and women’s cricket.The story echoes the film “Notting Hill” – the challenge of love between a ‘star’ and a ‘normal person’.The book touches on the good and bad sides of fame, and shines a light on women’s cricket – the mental and physical challenges, pressure of relentless media attention, community outreach, fan engagement, and the finite nature of the career of professional athletes. Above this, it is, of course, a love story.The book is a non-spicy romance, and also includes neurodiversity and epilepsy representation.WICKET MAIDEN is the first in a women’s cricket trilogy.It’s an engaging, enjoyable read with plenty of character. The funny moments stand out amongst more serious characters/themes.- EditorI thought the story was funny, warm and engaging. Ellie and Adam are both hugely likeable characters and you are rooting for them individually in their careers as well as to get together romantically.- Advance readerI loved Wicket Maiden!
