Kaylee Ryan hit it out of the park with Beyond the Bases!

Easton Monroe is a professional baseball who wants more than a random hook up with some baseball groupie. He wants someone who he can come home to after practice, after a home game and after spending time on the road. Larissa is a young hard working woman. She in school and close to finishing her accounting degree and works in a restaurant which leads to little free time for other activities. Her best friend, Chloe, convinces her to go out one night and that one night is the start of something new. Larissa and Chloe walk into the bar and they are spotted by Ethan, who instantly knows he found exactly what he was looking for. What he didn't know is that it would not be an easy task to get the attention of Larissa.

I absolutely loved Easton from the very first moment. He isn't a player, he is sweet, he loves with every ounce of his soul. Compared to other baseball sports romances he isn't that stereotypical alpha male. You can't not fall in love with him throughout the story. Larissa is just amazing, she is strong and she is determined to be the best person and role model she can be. She doesn't have it easy between work, school and taking care of her 4 (almost 5) year old daughter, Paisley, her hands are a little full.

The chemistry between Easton and Larissa was fantastic, but the connection between Easton and Paisley just melts your heart. Paisley absolutely stole the show. She is such a lively and smart little girl and her scenes were honestly the best things to read. From the moment her and Easton met he was head over heels for his little Princess P.

Beyond the Bases is one of the best books I have read in 2018. There is NO drama, every single character in this book is well written. The story is sweet and will melt your heart. It is the perfect summer read for anyone! Plus, we got 4 (yes 4) amazing epilogues! I hope that we get more of Easton, Larissa, Paisley and the rest of the Monroe family in future!
