I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this book and chose to review it.
I found this book slightly strange. For most of the book I found the going slow and not relevant. I don't understand the need for all the history which played a such a small part in the overall story. I also found Coby a bit immature, which I know was the point, but it started to grate after a while. Gage was an incredible character and I wished for more of him, he was a breath of fresh air.
The development of Ellie and Coby's relationship was so slow and I'm still not overly convinced about it either... so much of this book didn't really make sense to me,
Sorry.📖📖📖
Title: Third Base
Author: Stella
Genre: Sports Romance/Friends-to-lovers
Release Date: November 2, 2017
Blurb
First base: kissing.
Second base: above the waist.
Third base: below the waist.
Home run: no explanation needed.
Every baseball player knows to keep their eye on the ball and swing for the fences. Each base counts, but a home run is the goal. No one wants to strike out. This is true both on and off the field.
Ellie Teller had been my best friend since we were born, and we had a plan—get out of the tiny Alabama town we’d grown up in and go to college…together. But even life’s best-laid plans could throw a powerful curveball. Rather than attend classes, I was now the starting pitcher for a Major League team.
While my game-day stats were impressive, my record with women was less desirable. I was the professional baseball player who hadn’t been able to make it past third base since the one and only night I’d played hardball with my best friend.
But when the bottom of the ninth came to a close on my career, I had to decide if our friendship was worth more than a few extra innings.

Stella
Best Selling Author Leddy Harper and Stephie Walls met on a
street corner in Savannah, Georgia in 2015, where they quickly formed a bond
over book boyfriends and cheap wine.
After discovering the two best friends shared a brain, their
alter ego, Stella was born. After all, when you put two romance authors
together…you’re gonna get something Stella!
Leddy Harper
Leddy
Harper had to use her imagination often as a child. She grew up the only girl
in a house full of boys. At the age of fourteen, she decided to use that
imagination and wrote her first book, and never stopped.
She often
calls writing her therapy, using it as a way to deal with issues through the eyes
of her characters.
She is now
a mother of three girls, leaving her husband as the only man in a house full of
females.
The
decision to publish her first book was made as a way of showing her children to
go after whatever it is they want to. Love what you do and do it well. Most
importantly Leddy wanted to teach them what it means to overcome their fears.
Stephie Walls

put in front of her. She has an affinity for British Literature and Romance
novels and an overall love of writing. She currently has six novels out, four
short stories, and two collections; all provocatively written to elicit your
imagination and spice up your world.
