The Third Baseman
by Lulu Moore
funny
lighthearted
medium-paced
I received an eARC from Valentine PR and the author in exchange for my honest review.
This is the first book in Lulu Moore’s The New York Lion baseball series. There are characters that show up from her other series, but it not necessary to read before going into this one.
Jupiter and Marnie dated in high school. Once Jupiter was drafted to the Dodgers he dumped Marnie and they haven’t seen each other for 14 years. Marine went on to work for NASA become an actual rocket scientist. Out of the blue Marine gets a job offer that is too good to pass up to work for the New York Lions, who also just so happen to acquire a hot grumpy tatted 3rd baseman, Jupiter.
I absolutely loved this story. The storytelling is so well put together from present day to flashbacks both timelines add to the depth and richness to the characters. I loved how Marnie did not give in right away to Jupiter and his swoon. Bc let’s face it, the things he does for Marnie and Marnie alone, is ….well swoony. They both go through an emotional roller coaster and the angst at moment had my heart breaking. Their journey back to one another was absolute perfection though. This one definitely made me laugh, cry and swoon. And of course we can’t forget the spice was amazing!
Thank you to Valentine PR and Lulu Moore to the eARC.
