Ryan Hunter (Grover Beach Team Book 2)

I loved how Ryan's sports career was woven into his emotional development, but I'm curious what inspired the focus on his athletic pursuits alongside romance.

The chemistry was palpable, but the relationship seemed to deepen rapidly. Was this a conscious choice to keep the pace lively or a reflection of real high school romance?

The story seamlessly alternated between game scenes and tender moments. I'm interested in whether that balance was planned early or evolved during writing.
