Synopsis:

What happens when you want more in life than just running the bases?

You hang out at home plate and stop playing the field.

He’s sexy and irresistible. I’ve done my best to ignore the magnetism that flows between us. I don’t need complications in my life. I can’t get wrapped up in his world, the last thing I need is to get attached to a professional athlete. I don’t have time for heartbreak.

Something about her pulls me in. I want to get to know her. I want a chance to show her I’m more than just my career, my paycheck. I’m the man for her. I know I am. No matter how much she resists this connection between us. It doesn’t change the fact that she’s my grand slam.

Kaylee Ryan is an author who I can expect greatness from. Every time I pick up a novel written by her I instantly know two things. First being this novel is going to have some great family values and second this novel is going to literally cause my heart to split in two just by pure joy. Beyond The Bases went above and beyond these expectations.

I love going into books blind, its my newest niche and I found I love the element of surprise that comes with not knowing anything about key elements that are in the book I’m about to read. When I started Beyond The Bases I had no clue it was going to mesh two of my favorite tropes into one! I’m literally a sap when it comes to children in novels. I love the family values that usually take place within these tropes. I also am addicted to baseball in all forms. I love watching the sport on tv, going to games, and reading it in romance novels! The fact this novel is a baseball romance made me that much more excited to dive in!

About Beyond The Bases:

Easton Monroe plays first base for the Tennessee Blaze, which makes it difficult for him to find genuine people to hang out with and date. He’s sick of the wild scene that comes with being on a MLB team, he’s looking for something more stable and long-lasting. When Larissa walks through the bar door with her friend Chloe, Easton has a strong feeling that she’s the one he’s been holding out for. But when she starts turning down his advances, he realizes this isn’t going to be as easy as what he thought. He has his work cut out for him if he wants to win the heart of this woman.

My Thoughts:

I fell for Easton Monroe in the beginning of Beyond The Bases and only continued to fall harder throughout this novel. What I loved most about him wasn’t the fact that he was swoony with all sorts of sexy vibes. I loved the fact that this man feels with his whole heart and he isn’t ashamed to admit it nor does he try to hide it.

Larissa is a forced to be reckoned with. Let’s just state right now that this woman shows true strength. She’s a woman who can be admired in so many ways. Larissa has had a tough life but throughout it all she’s never let tragedy break her. She can’t due to the fact that she has a four-year old daughter who looks up to her and depends on her.

Even though I loved the hell out of Easton and adored Larissa, I have to admit, Little Miss Paisley stole the show! This four ‘almost five’ year old firecracker is so freaking adorable. She has everyone, including me, wrapped around her little finger and she knows exactly how to play the game. I loved the insta chemistry between Easton and Paisley! Now I’m telling you, that was some of the most adorable scenes I’ve ever read!

Beyond The Bases by Kaylee Ryan has made it to my 2018 FAVORITES LIST!!!!
This novel had everything that I was looking for and everything that I wanted!
A definite future reread for me!
