Stealing Home

Beyond the Play, Book 3

By: Grace Reilly

Narrated by: Tristan Wright, Kat Riley

I should be focusing on my game–not on falling for my gorgeous, grumpy roommate… especially since she’s already left me once.

Sebastian

It’s my final season to prove myself before the MLB Draft. The last thing I need is a distraction–and especially not one as tantalizing as Mia di Angelo.

She’s the drop-dead gorgeous astrophysicist-in-training who ditched me the moment I wanted to take us from casual to committed. Yeah. Ouch. But when she needs somewhere to stay for the summer… well. I offer her my place.

Being roommates shouldn’t be so hard. Not distracting at all. Not the least bit challenging…

Mia

I have two goals this summer: get into a study abroad program, and get over golden baseball god Sebastian Miller-Callahan.

Doesn’t mean it’s easy to stop thinking about him, but he deserves better than a prickly, career-focused girl like me. Our futures can’t be more different. The last thing I need is to play roommates with the only man who can set my body ablaze.

And all the feelings I’ve tried to pretend I never had? They come rushing back far too strong for either of us to ignore.

Stealing Home is a spicy new adult sports romance with reverse grumpy-sunshine, forced proximity/roommates, dual POV, and a guaranteed HEA. It is the third in a series of linked, yet standalone, novels in the Beyond the Play series.

Bad Narration

I enjoyed the other books but this one was difficult. The narration was lack luster and a little boring.

Very monotone and not a strong storyline

This book was a low simmer at best never got to a boil. Kept waiting for the story to get better and it just kept dragging.

Unlikeable Lead

I enjoyed the first 2 books in this series, but this last book was hard to get through. Mia was insufferable from start to finish. I liked Seb’s storyline, but it was overshadowed because Mia was so awful. She was her own biggest enemy/obstacle and I’m not sure how many people would deal with so much self sabotage in real life.

It’s a cute little book

People will complain saying “waaa no conflict” & to that I say that the girls who get it, get. If you want a book with conflict and plot twists this is not for you. But if you want a good time and just to escape reality for a while then you will enjoy this.

Blah - no conflict, boring

I’m not one to not finish a book, but this one was hard. There was no real conflict… just silliness and (maybe I’m nuts) but it’s hard to believe someone would walk away from (spoiler alert) going pro in a game they love. My expectations for this kind of book are pretty low and this one didn’t quite meet them.
