Out of Left Field

A North Bay Small-Town Sports Romance (The North Bay Series, Book 1)

By: Stephanie Giese

Narrated by: Andi Eloise, Brandon Francis

Sometimes the best things in life pop up out of nowhere.

Danielle:

I’m not looking for a man, let alone a baseball player. Definitely not a minor leaguer who doesn’t even know how to pick a steamed crab. This is North Bay. Baseball and crabbing are a way of life. This town is in my blood, it’s where I belong. Mike Miller showed up with his big dreams of signing with a better team, and he already has one foot out the door. I don’t want a man who won’t stay. I’ve had enough of those. So, why can’t I get him out of my head?

Mike:

I need to keep my head in the game and my butt out of trouble, but I can’t seem to do either of those things around her. There’s too much riding on this season, I can’t afford to be held back. But Danielle makes me feel like I am worth something, and North Bay is starting to feel like home. Those are things I haven’t had for a long time. Too bad I’m not the kind of guy who deserves them.

Out of Left Field is Book 1 in the North Bay series. This is a standalone baseball romance with mild-to-medium heat.

Perfect Palette Cleanser

This was such a cute fast read! It had so many moments that made me laugh out loud and the puns were so so good!!!

Honey!!! Honey must be protected at all costs!!! She is my favorite character!!! Half of my tabs are from something hilarious that she said or did!!

It was a bit instalovey but with such a short book I think it kinda had to be…
I loved how considerate and protective Mike was! I loved the found family in this books as well!!

Over all I really liked this one! It’s perfect for a cute palette cleanser!
I also buddy read this with my girls Heather and Shelbie so that was so much fun as well!!

Sweet small town romance

A really good story, that has all the gossiping small towns are known for.
Crabs, dad jokes, and I would love to have a honey in my life, a nice and enjoyable listening thanks to both performers.
