Home run Proposal 

4.25 ⭐️

.

All Hallie wanted was for her best friend to take her virginity after a home run. She made the proposal and set it out, but might  of gave it to the wrong guy. That guy being Lane Collins her best friend’s brother. 

.

Those cartoon covers always get you. I went into this book thinking a fun baseball read with a romance vibe. This was a lot spicer than I thought, but I didn’t mind it too much. I enjoyed having Hallie open up about her own personal struggles and being able to connect to her. I loved how the communication with everyone in the story was so good. Lane was written so well, down to earth for Hallie. Always making sure she was comfortable with everything and knowing he was always by her side. I enjoyed getting just the right amount of spice and sports in the book. So excited to keep reading more of Maren!

This was such a cute and fun sports romance! I absolutely adored the audio of it because it was done so well, and kept my attention all through out. 

Lane is a charismatic sweetheart. I adored how sweet he was on Hallie, and how he loved her exactly for who she is. I loved how Hallie embraces herself and everything she loves. She was so fun and quirky. These two overall were just so stinking adorable.

This book was so stupid cute! I loved the whole best friend’s brother trope and the fact that they just had unrequited love until the plot kicked in! I kinda bleh at the idea of an arranged proposal to loose your virginity, but it helped Hallie grow a lot so I won’t complain I guess lol. I LOVED Hallie’s obsession with Bigfoot and Aliens, and Lane’s support!

"𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇'𝓇𝑒 𝓈𝑜 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓅𝑒𝓇𝒻𝑒𝒸𝓉, 𝐻𝒶𝓁𝓁𝒾𝑒. 𝒮𝑜 𝑔𝑜𝒹𝒹𝒶𝓂𝓃 𝒷𝑒𝒶𝓊𝓉𝒾𝒻𝓊𝓁"

Ladies, if you are ever with a guy who does not treat you like Lane treats hallie he dose not deserve you!!!


"𝐵𝑒𝒸𝒶𝓊𝓈𝑒 𝐻𝒶𝓁𝓁𝒾𝑒... 𝓎𝑜𝓊'𝓇𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝑜𝓃𝓁𝓎 𝓅𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑜𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒾 𝒻𝑒𝑒𝓁 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝓂𝑒 𝒶𝓇𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹"

Overall this book was genuinely really good up to about 60% when it became nothing more than erotica.

The third act brakup felt super out of pocket and even worse was the fact she never actually tells lane what she saw, I doubt he would cheat on her but i feel like she should have mentioned it tho.

"𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝓇𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓎 𝓉𝑜 𝒶𝒹𝓂𝒾𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊'𝓇𝑒 𝒾𝓃 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝒽𝑒𝓇 𝓎𝑒𝓉? ... 𝒞𝒶𝓊𝓈𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒹𝑒𝒻𝒾𝓃𝒶𝓉𝓁𝓎 𝒶𝓇𝑒"

2 well writen characters going throught there own shit, For lane it is not knowing what he wants to do in his feuture for Hallie it is being waitlisted for her dream school.

This book is definatly more charecter than plot based and was an easy read, I found when I had time to sit and read I didn't get destracted with this book and could easily read 100+ pages per sitting, but becuase of exams I didn't have as much time as i would have liked to read which is why this took me a few days to get through.

A very cute and quick read!

I thought the MC's made such a cute couple, I loved how supportive they were towards each other. Especially how understanding and loving Lane was to Hallie.

I am always a sucker for a MMC who is head over heels for the FMC and that is exactly how Lane was for Hallie.

I did get a little "not like the other girls" & "I'm so quirky" vibes from the FMC which is why I couldn't rate this book any higher LOL

I thought the climax and resolution were pretty predictable, but it was still super cute to read!

NGL, it took me a moment to wrap around my head that Hallie is younger than me (for context: she's 18, I'm 20). SO I FELT OLD LMAOOOOO.

Def recommend reading, if you're looking for a quick, spicy, soft, sports romance!
