BE THE ONE

Female baseball scout Cassidy Sanderson sees major league potential in Dominican ballplayer Alberto Cruz, but she also has major problems, thanks to a blackmailer from the island republic. Cassidy uncovers links to a developer she's falling in love with. Linda Hamilton's deep, sexy voice--reminiscent of Lauren Bacall--is perfect for both the staccato prose of April Smith and the main character Cassidy, whom she blesses with a tough, yet feminine, tone. She also has a good ear for accents, a necessity in a novel with several Hispanic characters, and handles both male and female voices equally well.
