This is the best book of The Boys of Summer. Travis will win you over from the very first page. I loved him. He's funny, amazing with a child and caring.

Not a lot of baseball on this one but you get to see what life outside is like for a baseball player when they're on break.

I love how Travis goes after what he wants and how he falls in love and gives his heart freely to a special female that is a part of someone's life he cares about.

I love the relationship and connection between him and Lucy. I personally think Lucy steels all the scenes she's in. Heidi writes the best children characters I've read so far. I love what Lucy does and how she knows what she wants and who she loves.

I highly recommend this book. If you love books about a single parents you'll love this one. Saylor loves her child. It's why she works so hard. Her daughter is her first priority and her world. She does everything to give her child the best.

Ms. McLaughlin has outdone herself with this one. This is an amazing story. Loved it.

Received this book for a honest review.

Win the game. Lose your heart.
Everyone knows who I am and that I could have any female fan I want. That's supposed to be the "perk" of playing left field for the Boston Renegades. But I don't want just any woman; I want her.

She should be just another face in the crowd, but I can't stop thinking about the one night we spent together-and her look of regret the morning after.

Because Saylor Blackwell is the kind of woman who haunts a man. Smart, sexy as hell, and one of the best managers in the business. She's every ballplayer's dream woman. And I'd do anything to make things right with her.

I'm done sitting on the bench when it comes to Saylor Blackwell. Time to swing for the fences.

I love Heidi and The Boys of Summer Series. I've come to really enjoy them and think they get better every time she releases another one. This was no exception. It kept me entertained, engaged with the characters and up all night. I do most of my reading at night since I have to work during the day and I was left with the worst book hangover at work.

Travis is a "player" and not just any player on the team...he has a way with the ladies. All ladies. It could be your 80-year-old grandma that has taken a liking to him. Even though he has a reputation there is really only one woman that he wants. - Saylor Blackwell. Saylor is untouchable because she's part of his management team and until his personal and professional life spirals out of control...he can't have her. With nothing left for him to lose, he goes after Saylor and what develops between them is pretty darn explosive. I loved this book and I thought it was five stars. However, it wrapped up a little too fast for me and a little vaguely but otherwise a stellar read!!

I was given a copy of this ARC from the publisher on NetGalley for an honest review. All of the above comments are my express opinions and no one else's.

Grand Slam is a lot different from the first 2 books in this series. First while Travis being a baseball player is a big part of the story, baseball itself isn’t. This takes place during off season so the game is being played. Second, this book took on a more serious tone to it. It is Travis so it wasn’t all serious but it wasn’t as light hearted as you may expect with it being Travis’ story. It was a very well written story.

Travis is a player on and off the ball field. His player ways come back to bite him in the ass though. He finally finds someone he wants to be more with but she won’t let him get past their business relationship. I won’t say what happens in the book but there are a lot of revelations that come throughout from both Travis and Saylor.

Saylor is a single mom who is trying to make the most of her and her daughter’s life. She is working hard, learning all she can about the PR business. One of her clients happens to be Travis. They have a little history together that is wrapped in a big secret. Saylor was very frustrating at times but after finding out what happened to her, I can understand why she was that way.

Heidi has brought to life another well written story with characters are real.

Travis Kidd has been one of my favorites since the beginning of this series, and I'm excited to say he finally gets his book - and it was nothing like I expected.

We know him as the jokester of the clubhouse, but there's so much more to him than his charming wit and hilarious one-liners. Who knew he could be this serious, this loving, this amazing man all while going through some of the most intense things of his life? Don't worry. You still get all the cocky sexiness from him you can handle. All the other stuff will just make you adore him more.

I'm not going to lie, I struggled a lot with Saylor in the beginning. I liked her, then didn't like her, then adored her all within the span of the book. But the more of her story I read, the more I understood where she was coming from, and the more I began to root for her.

I can definitely recommend this book. And this series.

Saylor Blackwell works as a PR for Travis Kidd, who is Boston Renegade’s left fielder. One drunken night and they find themselves attempting to keep things professional, things get complicated when Travis past arises and he finds himself fighting with Saylor, it’s her job to protect him, but is her heart that is in stake. They have to find themselves facing their secrets, their pasts and their future. Nothing is simple, their chemistry is off the charts but their stories will collide and leave you reading until the very last word.

I love this series so much, hot sexy baseball players, but this time it takes time during off-season, which is a good change for the usual sport romance. I want more books. If you haven’t read any of Heidi McLaughlin’s books, let me tell you that you are missing a lot. Go grab them all.

I am not a baseball fan. However, I loved this story. Travis's storyline was so fascinating. The struggles of a professional athlete and the balance between interactions with fans and families. While most sports books concentrate on players falling for the love interest, McLauglin took a different twist. It made for a very refreshing sports read that I couldn't put down.

Note, I did receive an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

GRAND SLAM is the third installment in Heidi McLaughlin’s contemporary, adult THE BOYS OF SUMMER baseball, romance series focusing on the Boston Renegades. This is Boston Renegades’ left fielder Travis Kidd, and PR agent Saylor Blackwell’s story line. GRAND SLAM can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous installments is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person points of view (Travis and Saylor) follows the second chance romance between Boston Renegades’ left fielder Travis Kidd, and PR agent Saylor Blackwell. Without giving away too much information GRAND SLAM focuses on the off-season as Travis must traverse a minefield of legal drama, slanderous accusations, and the less than stellar support of the fans and some of his teammates. Enter PR Agent Saylor Blackwell, the only woman able to clear Travis’s name, and the woman that calls to our hero’s heart. What ensues is a stress filled legal battle to save Travis Kidd, as he struggles to convince the woman he loves that he is innocent of all of the charges.

GRAND SLAM is a story of betrayal, defamation and retribution but it is also a story about one woman’s struggle to do what is right for a man she doesn’t believe is as innocent as he claims. As Travis battles the media, the fans and the legal system, Saylor battles for her heart and that of her young daughter.

The relationship between Travis and Saylor is one of second chances. Two years earlier, following a one-night stand, Saylor walked out of Travis’s life without explanation, and in the ensuing time has acted cold and deceptive when ever in his presence. Their rekindling relationship and romance is complicated when Saylor’s young daughter begins to fall in love with the man in question. The $ex scenes are limited but seductive.

There are a large number of secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Boston Renegades: Ethan and Daisy (Third Base #1), Cooper and Ainsley (Home Run #2), as well as attorneys, agents, top office brass, family, friends and fans who may or may not support their fallen hero.

The world building focuses on the relationship between Saylor and Travis, as well as the legal problems of our leading hero. Not everyone is willing to offer Travis their support including some of the members of his very own team. I struggled with our heroine’s less than cooperative behavior throughout the story. Fearing repercussion in her own life, Saylor’s questionable attitude was awkward, heartbreaking and tragic. The potential fall-out for Travis Kidd meant a life darkened by secrets, betrayal and lies.

GRAND SLAM is a gripping and passionate story line. The premise is edgy; the characters are colorful and dynamic but our heroine’s lack of action was discouraging and disappointing under the circumstances; the romance was sexy but challenging. GRAND SLAM will captivate your imagination and break your heart.

Grand Slam (The Boys of Summer #3) by Heidi McLaughlin
4 stars!!!

“Race you.”
“To what?”
“To be the first one to fall in love.”

Grand Slam is the third book in the Boys of Summer series and can be read as a standalone. I still need to read the first one but have loved the last two. Grand Slam is the story of Travis Kidd, the Boston Renegades player who only loves baseball, himself and a woman who wouldn’t give him a chance. Travis was the prankster, the ladies’ man and a man whose past was only lurking in the background waiting to catch up to him.

“Memories of the night we shared come rushing back, showing me how perfect and amazing we were together, taunting me, reminding me that I can’t have her, that she feels like I’m not worth the risk. But I am, and I want to show her that I’d be everything she needs in a man, and more.”

One night stands are Travis Kidd’s norm, for him relationships and baseball just do not work so it is easier to fuck and forget. When one such potential F&F gets spurned her last pearls of wisdom were “…You’ll pay for this.” And boy does she make him pay. A woman scorned has the power of missile and this was one missile that Travis certainly wished had never been launched.

“She deserves someone better than me, but I want the pureness that she brings into my chaotic world.”

Saylor Blackwell was Travis Kidd’s publicist and these two had some extremely intense chemistry. Two years prior Saylor had broken the cardinal rule and slept with a client…Travis and it was one that she was determined she would never break again. Being a single parent, career suicide was not on her agenda and she needed this job more than life itself. With a strict no fraternization policy in place she had to stay away, even though deep down that was the last thing she ever wanted.

Travis really got to me in this book. My heart broke for him many, many, many times. Despite his outgoing, cocky personality, underneath was a man with a heart of gold that just wanted to love and be loved, but he only wanted that with one woman or maybe two...his relationship with Saylor’s daughter was heart melting in itself and boy does he love this little girl. But Saylor though was the one woman who spurned him every chance she got. The crap that Travis goes through in this book would have bought many a man to his knees and I loved that Heidi McLaughlin gave Travis strength, because he certainly needed it in this book. I don’t condone what Travis was put through and my one niggle with this book was I wanted to see what happened to “the other side.” I think culpability would have been a good example to make in this book.

“I only want to be in the same room with you, and I’ll be happy.”

Saylor was infuriating at times, but being a mother I understood her completely, even if my heart was breaking for Travis. As time went on I was begging her to do the right thing knowing that Travis would always be there to support her but Heidi McLaughlin ramps up that angst until you are only left pulling your hair out, desperate for her to make her move.

“She’s going to kick my ass when I need it, love me when I don’t deserve it, and be my constant when I need her the most.”

For me this was an unputdownable read and it was a one session job. I laughed, I cried, my heart broke and happiness was restored but this was certainly one hell of a ride. This was a different read than the others and the angst, more than the relationship itself was what kept those pages turning. My heart went through the mill with this one and I cannot wait to see what comes next in this series.

Right up until the moment I sat down to finish writing this review, I was still stewing over how to rate this book even though I finished it a few days ago. There were parts that I loved but they were offset by parts that made me so annoyed I wanted to stop reading it entirely so I have some very mixed feelings about it and I didn't decide on a rating until I had put all my thoughts into words.

The blurb really gives nothing away when it comes to the actual plot of this book. When the story opens, Travis is in a bar during the off season playing pool with a cleat chaser and debating his options for the evening when he spots Saylor sitting at the bar. They shared a night together years ago but it was clear she regretted it immediately afterward and she has given him the cold shoulder as much as possible since then. She is also his publicist and works on his management team which complicates things for her further. When Travis leaves the bar to follow her outside to talk, the woman he was playing pool with loses her mind at the lost opportunity to bag a star and screams all sorts of threats at him as he leaves in a cab and doesn't look back.

The next morning she takes the whole woman scorned thing to a ridiculous level, accusing Travis of rape and inciting a media firestorm that could ruin him. Despite the fact we know it is a false claim, the resolution is a long and drawn out process in part due to Saylor. And here is where my fundamental issue with this couple lies.

See, Saylor had the power to clear his name from the start, but she has secrets that cause her to keep her mouth shut and I really struggled to like her from the very beginning of this book. She was completely OK with allowing Travis to be vilified in the media and watching his career and life be ruined right before his eyes in order to save her own ass, and I am supposed to buy their great love for each other? I don't think so! Do I understand her reasons for staying quiet? Sure. But her determination to let him go down in flames did nothing to endear her to me. In fact, I wasn't quite sure why Travis even continued to pursue her at that point because I just didn't feel like there was a strong enough connection between them to justify it. I do have to say his devotion to winning her over and his interactions with her daughter were heartmelting though and those actions were the very few reasons I didn't just stop reading this story halfway through it.

The other part that I struggled with here was the use of the rape accusation against Travis. I know it absolutely could and would happen in the real world- just Google Patrick Kane and you will find a recent real life example. However, the fact that we knew it was a blatant lie just felt like it cheapens the real claims made by women out there who are truly victims as we question the intent of the accuser in this case. And society's tendency to pile on the accused and kick him while he's down is all too real as the media whipped up public opinion into a frenzy that could have cost an innocent person everything he worked so hard to achieve.

Although it all worked out in the end, I was still left with unanswered questions. Was his accuser really that shallow and vicious of a person, or did she have a reason for her vendetta? Her name wasn't in the media so it wasn't a 15 minutes of fame thing where she tried to play up her accusation. I actually thought perhaps Saylor's ex put her up to continuing her antics but that didn't play out either. And as for the ex- what was the point of his sudden appearance other than to add more drama and stress because his sudden need to have the daughter he ignored for years was never explained either.

I guess the only good thing I can add here is that despite my issues with the story, the fact that I kept reading it through to the end is a testament to the author managing to keep me engaged long enough to finish it. Reading other reviews that are out there indicate my opinion is in the minority here, but reactions to these types of plot points are personal things so take my comments with a grain of salt and recognize them for just that: opinions.

Grand Slam is the third book in the Boys of Summer series by Heidi McLaughlin. Each book is a standalone story, so don't worry about starting here if you haven't read the previous books. Fans of the series will recognize familiar faces though, and I think will enjoy this one. I will say that those that have read the previous books will notice that this book has a bit of a different feel than the previous books. This one focuses less on the sports aspect than its predecessors, though you do still get some.

Travis enjoys his life and all that being left fielder for the Boston Renegades means. But the one woman that he wants is the one that wants nothing to do with him. When Travis finds himself in a legal jam though, he knows that Saylor Blackwell is the woman he wants on his side in more than one way. But can he make things right with her when there are so many obstacles standing in the way?

I liked these characters a lot. Travis was great, sexy and sweet. He knew exactly what he wanted and there is something super hot about that. Saylor had been through a lot and I really felt for her. I will say that there were a lot of things she did that while I understood them, I didn't like them. These two had a connection though, and I really felt that what they had was worth fighting for. While I liked the two of them for one another though, I really struggled with Saylor at times and she was part of what kept me from really loving this story.

Overall, this one was a good read and there were several things that I liked about it. But while I liked it, I still had some issues with the story and the characters. I also felt like the ending was a bit rushed, which left me on a bit of a sour note. I do think that this series is worth reading and fans of the previous books will enjoy seeing familiar faces as well as getting to meet some new ones. If this one sounds like one you might like, I recommend giving it a shot.

**ARC Provided by Publisher**

This series has easily been one of my favorites. I am an avid baseball fan and to see my favorite sport transformed into the romance scene, while still maintaining its sports integrity has been so amazing to read.

With that said, I think the author saved the best for last because this story ripped my heart out. And it was so fitting. These books can be read as standalones, if you wanted to. But I will tell you that reading Ethan and Cooper’s stories first (Third Base & Home Run) will make Travis’ story so much sweeter for you.

In the other books, and even in the start of this story, we see Travis Kidd, player on many levels. Travis isn’t afraid to enjoy the “perks” that come with being an athlete. But then there is another side of Travis that readers have never met before. The serious, caring, attentive side. The side that wants more from his life than just random women in and out.

Saylor Blackwell would like to be immune to Travis Kidd. But she isn’t. I really loved Saylor’s character because she has been dealt some serious blows in life, but it never defines her. One of my favorite aspects of Saylor is that her problems are real. As I got to know Saylor, I felt like I could find many other women, or men, who’d been dealt the same hand and had to rise up over it. I appreciated that the author let Saylor shine, and didn’t try to make her into someone you just felt sorry for. I felt immense respect and admiration for her.

If you love this author, or sports romance, you will love this book. Its intense on a variety of levels, and the chemistry between Saylor and Travis was indescribable.

I can’t say how much I loved this book. Heidi McLaughlin knows baseball and romance, and combining the two has truly been a Grand Slam for her readers.

4.5 stars! was excited to dive into Grand Slam on the airplane on my way to see the Cubs! I absolutely tore through this one- although a bit light on the baseball, it still was such a great romance! Travis Kidd is such a great guy- he is sexy and sweet and had me swooning! His interactions with Saylor's daughter Lucy are ADORABLE and I couldn't get enough of them! An excellent addition to this series!

4.5 Stars
I love this series and it keeps getting better with each book! This one has less of the sports aspect but don’t worry its still just as amazing.


One night stands are what Travis is use to but that changes when he meets Saylor. They had one amazing night and now Saylor wants nothing to do with Travis. When a woman he turned down shows up to make his life miserable the one person who can help him won’t.

Saylor is a single mom and works in PR and can’t stop thinking about Travis. It’s hard to be around him when she still remembers there night together. One of the best nights of her life and it can’t happen again. Now she has to focus on helping Travis.


I loved Travis and there were times my heart broke for him. There were times when I was so frustrated with Saylor even though I knew she was just trying to do her job. This was a quick read that once I started I couldn’t put down. Heidi has delivered another great story in this series.

This is the third book in this series. I loved these characters, I fell in love with them from the first page. This author is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors. You are always guaranteed a fantastic read. This story was very well written. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

How in the world am I supposed to move on from this story when it is so darn good?! I feel like I need a reread right now and I just finished reading it.

Travis plays for the Boston Renegades. He’s a player in every sense of the word, he can get pretty much any girl he wants. Except the only one he can’t get over and the only one he’s truly interested in.
Saylor is Travis publicist. She’s “been there, done that” with Travis a few years ago and it brought a lot of problems into her life. She hell-bent on never letting Travis into her personal life again because that would mean putting her and her five-year old daughter’s life at risk.
Now, Travis is facing some huge problems coming his way and he needs Saylor’s help to solve them. But for Saylor, helping Travis means losing everything and that is something she can’t afford. If only Travis understood.

I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with Travis’ character. In previous books from the The Boys of Summer series I’ve gotten little glimpses here and there at his personality and he always seemed a bit too crude for my linking. I wasn’t excited about finally getting his story but I was surprised to find out he actually isn’t that bad and maybe, just maybe, he is now my favorite hero out of the entire series. Who would have thought.

Have to say that I totally wasn’t expecting some things that you learn throughout the book. Like Saylor’s reason for not helping Travis, that was so unexpected and original and so well thought.
Grand Slam is definitely one of those incredibly romantic books that grip you and never want to let go of you. I had a hard time putting this book down.

Heidi McLaughlin has nailed it again with Travis and Saylor’s story. She wrote a series that I will need to reread at least once a year to keep the characters alive in my head. I never want to let go of these characters.
If you are a sports and romance fan then you should check out this book and the rest of the series because you’ll fall in love for sure!

Rating 4.5 of 5

We first met Travis Kidd in THIRD BASE, the first book of the Boys of Summer Series, and since then I have been looking forward to his book. He brought a lot of humor with his one liners and couldn’t wait to read his story. We finally get to know him in GRAND SLAM and what I can say is, he was worth the wait!

Travis and Saylor’s relationship is a “forbidden” romance, but they just can’t stay away from each other. I loved reading with anticipation of them finally getting together. But it certainly wasn’t all bliss. Saylor’s past comes back to haunt her and a career-ending accusation against Travis puts them both at risk of losing it all. All of this made for a more intense read. We get to see a more emotional side of Travis that I wasn’t expecting at all.

What I liked:

Travis and Saylor - their story just may be my favorite of the series
When the teammates get together and we get to catch up with Ethan and Cooper (from books 1 and 2)
All of the scenes with Saylor’s daughter, Lucy - I loved her adoration for Travis and it made me fall in love with him even more
We get more of the BoRe blogger - the added commentary always gives the “inside” outsiders perspective. It’s a nice touch to the book.
And of course Travis’s one-liners!!


One thing I did miss was the action of the baseball game. Since this story takes place during the off season, we don’t get to read about the boys on the field.

What I’ve come to like about the Boys of Summer series is each book makes me want to reread the series all over again - to experience the character’s stories again. One time just isn’t enough.

I loved GRAND SLAM and this series as a whole. These books should definitely be added to your summer reading lists!

Grand Slam is book three is The Boys of Summer series. It can be read as a standalone. Grand Slam is Travis and Saylor's story. Travis is a Boston Renegades player. He has no shortage in getting women but he has his eyes on Saylor. Saylor does PR for Travis and is off limits. She also a single mother. These two have no shortage of drama. Travis is pulled into a major PR nightmare. I really felt bad for the mess Travis was dealing with. Saylor has her own mess to deal with with her ex. Saylor and Travis have some great chemistry but they both have some major things to workout. These one was a great read. This story pulled me in from the beginning and kept me hooked throughout the whole story.

I'm not gonna lie. I was SOOOOO pissed off when I starting reading this book. Why? Because I was about to jump through the book to strangle the lead female, that's why. Why? Because I was having a REALLY hard time liking her character....but then that all changed. Or at least I started liking her a little more. I'm still not 100% sure "how" much I like her, but, I was happy in the end.

We all remember Travis Kidd, right? The joker. The ladies man. But his past comes back to bite him in the arse in this book. And boy oh boy, this bite is darn near lethal. While ogling a potential hook up in a bar, Travis notices the one girl he's been thinking about for over two years. This presents a problem because all he wants to do now is talk to the girl and NOT the hook up. So when he gives the hook up the shoulder, the last thing he expects is to be slapped with a rape case. Especially considering he didn't even go home with her. Good thing that mystery girl in the bar is also his publicist, right?

Saylor can't believe her luck. It seems like ever since that one night two years ago when she gave in to her own desires, Travis Kidd has been influencing her life, and not exactly in a positive way. And here we go again. Because now she's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Come clean to help Travis where she could not only lose her job, but end up in jail...or save her own arse and try figuring out a way to clear his name. Too bad there's another element to the equation. The ex who happens to be the father of her four year daughter. Could life get any harder?

This book takes place during the off season. So don't expect to read anything about the actual game. Well, besides being in the clubhouse or chatting with the boys. This book literally revolves around everything legal and extremely personal. As I mentioned earlier, I had a really hard time liking Saylor, but after reading her story, I can understand that people do weird things when they feel backed in to a corner. And her corner was pretty small. My heart completely aches for Travis. No one should have to go through what does in this book and the way people turn on him is very hurtful. I think I even shed a tear or two.

But in the end, Travis figured out how to save the day. For everyone, including himself. It was a perfect way to end this story and am already chomping to get my hands on the next one. Because let's face it....we ALL know who's next, right?

reviewed by Chris

Heidi McLaughlin has another hit with Grand Slam, book 3 in the Boys of Summer.
Travis Kidd, pro Baseball player, ends up in a bar one night with a woman while looking over across the bar he sees the one woman who got away- Saylor . They had a one night stand a few years back and Travis sees Saylor leaving the bar and goes after her to stop her, catch her and find out what happened to her after all this time when the lady he was with causes a heck of a stink.
Saylor Blackwell's life is a little complicated is a complete understatement; Everything goes back to a dating mistake she made several years ago and is now coming back to bite her in the rear. She has to walk around like everything could explode around her and shatter. The one bright spot in her life is her daughter, and while being a single mother is tough, she wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, for being a mother is the best thing in the world and the only thing she has done right. Seeing her ex Travis again was like her heart shattering all over again. This time, he is standing before her asking for another chance... a chance she doesn’t feel so eager to provide him after everything that has gone on.
This story line was so heartbreaking yet is fresh, hot, passionate, intense, and thoughtful. There is so much going on, that the story didn’t have time to catch breath. It is fast paced, witty and emotional. I enjoyed reading their 2nd chance love story and look forward to more stories in the Boys of Summer series.


My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
"I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***

I'm not a fan of baseball but this author's amazing writing style made me love these stories. The first 2 were so amazing that I went for the third one. Grand Slam was by far my favourite one yet. This 5 star story kept my 100% undivided attention focused on this AWSOME story.

Travis Kidd played the field in baseball and with women. Little did he know it could eventually get him in so much trouble that he could be in jeopardy of loosing everything. Saylor is the only who can save him, but by doing so, she risks loosing everything herself.

This story started out like any other story I've read in the past. The shocking twist in the storyline was unlike anything I've ever read. It was uniquely, perfectly executed. This story made me feel a wide range of emotions. I even managed to shed a few tears. This story consumed me from the very first page read to the very last one. It was highly entertaining, intriguing and enticing. There was never a dull moment present in this sports romance.

What makes up a story are the characters. They were perfectly crafted to fit this story. They had some pretty strong chemistry. Bottom line is that this is a must read.

Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA. This is the third story in The Boys of Summer, but I can assure the readers that they can safely be read as standalone story. I strongly recommend this book. The other 2 books are well worth it too.
