SUMMARY
"Heartbreaking...inspiring, uplifting and raw..." ― RT Book Reviews, A 5-star Gold Pick

A broken woman . . .

Crystal learned long ago that love brings only pain. Feeling nothing at all is far better than being hurt again. She guards her wounded heart behind a hard exterior and carries within her a deep mistrust of men, who, in her experience, have only ever used and taken.

A man in need of help . . .

Then Gabriel Dalton walks into her life. Despite the terrible darkness of his past, there's an undeniable goodness in him. And even though she knows the cost, Crystal finds herself drawn to Gabriel. His quiet strength is wearing down her defenses and his gentle patience is causing her to question everything she thought she knew.

Only love can mend a shattered heart . . .

Crystal and Gabriel never imagined that the world, which had stolen everything from them, would bring them a deep love like this. Except fate will only take them so far, and now the choice is theirs: Harden their hearts once again or find the courage to shed their painful pasts.

The second New Adult novel in the Something More series by bestselling author Danielle Pearl!

Beth Caplan is ready to begin college a new woman. She's worked hard to overcome her demons, and she's eager to live in a world where no one knows about her past. Except, of course, her childhood crush. David March has known Beth a lifetime. Tasked by her older brother to look after the beautiful incoming freshman, he takes his job exceptionally seriously. Even if she tempts him in ways no kid-sister type ever should.

When Beth's ex shows up as a transfer student, and a creepy stranger with a reputation for violence sets his sights on her, Dave will do whatever it takes to protect her, even if it means moving her in with him. When he learns just how much a secret from his past hurt the girl he's always cared for, he becomes doubly determined to protect her, even from himself. But that's easier said than done.

DANIELLE'S ADVICE TO HER TEEN SELF

It gets better.

It’s okay not to be okay.

Figure out who your true friends are, and stick with them.

Follow your dreams, even when others are jealous.

Be kind. You never know who is hurting.

THIRD BASE by Heidi McLaughlin - Top 5, Review, and Giveaway


Today I'm celebrating the release of THIRD BASE by Heidi McLaughlin! It's exciting to see this book in trade paperback. The Boys of Summer series will have readers wishing it was summer all year long. 

Heidi shares the Top 5 baseball games she's attended and what made them so exciting.

1. Seattle vs Kansas Royals – Bo Jackson hit three homeruns and Ken Griffey Jr and his dad
hit back-to-back homeruns.  

2. Saw my first grand slam in Camden Yards

3. Boston Red Sox vs Astros – second at bat in the first inning, bat breaks and flies over the
protective netting, whacking a man in the head (he was looking at his phone) and it made all the Boston papers, ESPN and the news.

4. Cardinals vs Reds – had a great display of small ball.

5. Astros vs Texans – Was able to tour the facility and each time the Astros hit a homerun
the train would move.

**NOW AVAILABE IN TRADE PAPERBACK**

Ethan Davenport is already Boston's most eligible bachelor. In his second season with the Boston Renegades he has set his eyes on the girl behind the visitors' dugout.

That girl is Daisy Robinson, a journalism student at the University of Boston and a die-hard Renegades fan.

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.

My Thoughts

I'm always excited when Heidi McLaughlin comes out with a new book. When THIRD BASE was announced it immediately went on my TBR list. I don't read many sports themed books, but when I do they are usually about football which I think is funny because I don't really like football. But growing up, I was a fan of baseball because it was one of the few sports that I understood. THIRD BASE is heavy on the baseball (it's not just about a guy who happens to play baseball) and readers who have some understanding of the game will appreciate the effort put into the story to make it authentic. 

Ethan Davenport is one interesting character. He's young, athletic, funny, and there is a sweetness to him too. He has his hang-ups which can turn him sour, but overall he's a guy you'd like to know. Some of my favorite scenes were the bantering, bickering, razzing times between Ethan and his teammate Travis "Kidd". They had me laughing out loud with their jabs at each other.  

I liked reading about the relationship between Ethan and Daisy. At times, it was passionate and intense, but other times it was touch and go and even heartbreaking. I could feel the mutual admiration between them and when things went on the downward slope, all I could hope for was for them to fix it. While Daisy wasn't Ethan's first love, their love was still a young love and real. 

I missed the alternating character perspectives that I'd come to love in Heidi's books because I found myself wanting to know more about Daisy. Ethan was intrigued by her and in awe of her while I did get to know her through Ethan, I wanted to know her thoughts about everything that was happening between them. 

Reading THIRD BASE makes me want to rekindle my enjoyment of baseball and go back to the ballpark and catch a game or a few. I really liked reading Ethan and Daisy's story and while THIRD BASE is a stand-alone, it does come with the tag line THE BOYS OF SUMMER. I can only hope that I'll get to meet more players on the team! 

A GREAT read!
