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 thefences. 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.
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
The characters are relatable, their banter made me chuckle, the secondary characters have a big enough part in the story without taking away from the main couple, and the turmoil that they go through in not wanting to act on their feelings and ruin their friendship was on-point.
Third Base is a great collaboration between Stephie Walls and Leddy Harper, and I hope they bring us Gage’s story next! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Walls is a literary whore – she loves words in all forms and will read anything
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.
