Marnie and Jupiter are written in the stars. Their love is so sweet and so pure! But their young love couldn’t survive the challenges and working on the same team gives them a second chance at fate. Jupiter loves Marnie so deeply and isn’t afraid to love her right away and everyday. Marnie is just trying to protect her heart, but she can’t deny how much she’s always loved him.
I have to say Jupiter absolutely lives up to the asshole with tattoos hype and Marnie is an absolute sweetheart, I loved her from the very beginning!
This was such a sweet story and the book had me smiling and even laughing.
Even though I don't typically care for flashbacks I enjoyed getting to know a younger Jupiter and Marnie.
Now if I could only have a little more ACE!!!

I'm in love with Lulu's hockey romance series and I was very eager to branch out with Jupiter.
I know nothing about baseball though (being French and all), and find it extremely boring so the sports part didn't hit as much as the hockey bits with Jasper & co, but that's me.
I was so glad to see my man Drew again, and catch a glimpse of Felix and Jasper as well. Just missed Cooper haha.
Moving on to the story itself, Jupiter was extremely hot when he needed to be, a good kid and an asshole adult - but it was a slight hit and miss for me regarding how he handled the break-up with Marnie and also why he suddenly decided to win her back and how he did it.
It was very manipulative and arrogant, but I guess that was the whole point lol. I just wanted Marnie to scream at him from the start and to force him to grovel a lot more. But that's just my own perception of how things should happen, so I guess it's irrelevant hahaha.
However, and I'll die on this hill, Marnie should have told him what it was like for her. We know very little of her story. She had PTSD for crying out loud. She was absolutely wrecked and traumatized. He needs to know. And we learned later that he was devastated as well. I wanted them to exorcize the pain on screen and not off screen.
Still devoured this book in barely more than 24 hours, and it had me all hot and bothered.
Can't wait to go back to the Rangers and Huck now <3

Baseball and romance books? Yes please. My two favourite things together in one wonderful book. We were introduced to Jupiter Reeves in The Show (he does make an appearance or two in other Lulu Moore books), when Penn tried to buy his contract for the New York Lions- a mediocre team that Penn has been charged with improving. Jupiter said he’d come to New York if Penn could convince his high school girlfriend Marnie to leave her job at NASA and come work for the Lions organization. Penn is successful and that’s how The Third Baseman begins.
This was a very swoony and sweet read. Jupiter desperately wants Marnie back and doesn’t even begin to consider that she might not feel the same way. After all, he unceremoniously broke her heart 14 years earlier. Told in dual point of view, and in past and present, you get a very clear idea of the love these two shared when they were younger and why Marnie is so hesitant to hand her heart over again. In the present day point of view we can see the connection and the friendship these two still have.
This was lower on the spice scale- a 2/5

Lulu is an autobuy author!
This book is filled with groveling, a boy obsessed, and star crossed lovers!
14 years ago, Jupiter left the best thing that ever happened to him, Marnie. He has spent each day and night since missing her. He’s the best baseball player in the league, and when the New York Lions, the worst team in the league, approaches him, willing to do absolutely anything to get him on their team, he realizes this is his opportunity to try to find Marnie again. So he strikes a bargain with the Lions management. If they can find Marnie, and convince her to move to New York, he’ll become the Lions new third baseman. He’s willing to do absolutely anything to get her back, but she is not interested in giving him the time of day. He is going to have to grovel to earn the right Marnie’s heart again, and he is ready, because for him? It’s always been her.
This book is for the girls that love a man obsessed. Jupiter is the epitome of a man who will grovel and do anything to get his girl back. He is a grumpy, cocky, tattooed baseball player, one of my favorite combinations!
Marnie is such an amazing FMC. She a genius, she works for NASA, and we love a woman in STEM. She also is soft while also standing her ground and setting boundaries with Jupiter.
After this book, I have officially read all of Lulu’s books and I love them all so much!

Ooph. This may be an instance of it’s not you, it’s me? My favorite parts were the flashbacks to their childhood and I think I would’ve enjoyed their high school romance more than the 14 years later. I had just come off a really *really* great book and was trying to bounce back with this, but unfortunately I was bored and should’ve DNFd. The plot just felt very unrealistic and immature. Jupiter's character was kind of painful and I was cringing at the nickname Stars and Stripes *especially* when it was used in the present day. Marnie leaving her job at NASA to go work for a baseball team that she had no interest in after avoiding this guy for FOURTEEN YEARS?? I was also just rolling my eyes at Jupiter hitting home runs at basically every at bat? I'm sorry but give me some realistic plot line.
It was a big swing and a miss for me ⚾️

Lulu Moore quickly became a ‘must read everything she writes’ author to me. Her books are true comfort reads, they always leave my cheeks aching from smiling so much, the men will make you want to swoon and the women you want in your friendship group. The Third Baseman was no exception and lived up to this.
Jupiter has appeared in other books, a grouchy, scowling player but he’s much more than what he has let everyone see and as soon as Marnie is back in his life you see a much different side to him. He broke Marnie’s heart but the more you read the more you learn it broke his too.
Marnie has successfully avoided all things Jupiter since the day he left her crying on her porch 14 years ago. But now she’s left her job at the Johnson Space Centre and moved to work for the New York Lions, Jupiter’s baseball team. She plans to get the closure she never had but is totally thrown by seeing Jupiter again and how it makes her feel.
This is a wonderful second chance romance with main characters you can’t help but root for. A brilliant start to a new series and as with the other series the friendship group in this is great so you’ll be left wanting more.
