Review: The Baseball Card Boyfriend by Krista Sandor

Krista Sandor delivers another swoony, heartfelt, and hilariously quirky romance with The Baseball Card Boyfriend! Maggie and Christian’s story pulled me in from the first page, starting with Maggie crying into her pie on a bus and ending in the kind of happily-ever-after that makes you grin from ear to ear.

Maggie’s heartbreak feels raw and relatable, with her world crumbling around her. But when she tries to rescue a dog from train tracks, her life takes a surprising turn—right into Christian’s arms. An accident leaves Maggie with amnesia, and the journey that follows is packed with humor, emotional depth, and the kind of small-town charm that Sandor excels at creating.

Christian, a former baseball star reeling from a career-ending injury, is the ultimate grumpy-but-swoony hero. When Maggie enters his life, his determination to make her his is pure perfection. Their chemistry is off the charts, and the way they help each other heal is both heartwarming and inspiring.

The supporting cast truly shines here. From Maggie’s unexpected alliance with Judge Ironside—a pie-loving, grumpy curmudgeon—to the fabulous Queens of Starrycard Creek, every character adds depth, humor, and heart to the story. The community is a star in its own right, making you want to pack your bags and move to Starrycard Creek immediately.

With laugh-out-loud moments, touching emotional beats, and Sandor’s signature off-kilter humor, this book is everything you could want in a small-town romance. The Starrycard family and the unique traditions of the town bring a magical touch that makes this story unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a romance that delivers big laughs, big love, and big heart, The Baseball Card Boyfriend is an absolute must-read.
