Third Base

by Heidi McLaughlin

Ethan Davenport is already Boston’s most eligible bachelor, in his second season with the Boston Renegades and has eyes for the girl behind the visitors’ dugout who has been staring at him for a year.

That girl is Daisy Robinson, a journalism student at the University of Boston, a die-hard Renegades fan and determined to give Ethan a run for his money. He knows in order to have a chance with her, he needs to change his ways but he may just need her to wait until the off-season.

But with new found love comes challenges and Ethan and Daisy have to deal with his crazy schedule, school finals and his presence on her campus for some much needed media training. For Ethan nothing can come between him and Daisy, until a secret that she’s been keeping threatens to destroy them both.

Review

“We’re not meant to be perfect in this world…”

~ Ethan Davenport

This story is about imperfect people who meet and struggle through a “normal” relationship. No, I do not mean the people in the relationship are normal but the relationship itself is normal. There are ups and downs and secrets that must come to light in order for it to go anywhere.

Ethan Davenport is Boston’s most eligible bachelor and the third baseman for the Boston Renegades baseball team. He is young, cocky but also very sweet and caring. He loves his family and is close with most his teammates. When he gives his heart to someone he gives it fully.

Daisy Robinson hasn’t had an easy life. She is taking what she has and making the most of it. She is sweet, lovable and easy to connect with. She is taking care of her grandfather while going to school and never missing a home Renegades game.

The secondary characters are all great. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like Sarah but ended up respecting her and hoping she will eventually get her happily ever after.

The author keeps the reader engaged with the not only the main characters but the secondary as well. There are questions I have about the other characters that I hope are answered in future books. This was an easy quick read with great characters and smooth writing. I can’t wait to see who will get the next book (if there is one).
