I enjoyed reading Out of His League very much. I literally read it in one sitting because this novel was extremely addicting and I couldn’t put it down. I love to read anything with instant romance and duo perspective. I enjoyed the relationship between Josh and Gretchen. Their relationship was very steamy and fun. I loved how Josh was an MLB player because baseball is my favorite sport. I absolutely loves the romance and I will definitely read anything Caroline Richardson publishes in the future. Thank you so much Netgalley for giving the opportunity to receive a copy.

Just really not for me, I liked the whole Canadian thing - I love a book based in Canada. But I just felt the chemistry wasn't there, the characters weren't exactly likeable, and it didn't draw me in. Not thrilled with this and probably wouldn't recommend or read again.

This was a really fun read! I love books about famous people and regular people. This was a fun read. I do wish we had more about the actual development of the relationship between Gretchen and Josh, not just their physical intimacy.

I normally really enjoy a sports romance so I was excited to start this one. But I ended up being pretty disappointed.

I don’t love an instant love type of romance. Attraction, sure. But in love after a day? I can’t buy into it.

I didn’t love the characters either. I wanted Gretchen to be stronger and stick up for herself more. Josh was ok but I don’t feel like we learned much about him.

And there just wasn’t a whole lot happening in the book. I don’t know how it managed to be so long without much of a plot. I ended up skimming often.

Gretchen and Josh will always be one of my favorite stories. I've always been a fan of sports romances so when I saw this one, I knew I had to have it and I had to read it. I love that Gretchen took a chance and was bold for a few moments and it paid off in a way she never expected. Their story and their development was adorable. I love that he calls her his "firecracker". I loved the banter and playfulness between Josh and Gretchen and the other characters. There was also some spicy parts of the book that I was not expecting but loved. If you're looking for a cute, spicy, and quick read, then I definitely would recommend this one.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this story in exchange for my honest opinions and feedback.

I really wanted to love this book but I just didn’t.

This book follows Gretchen who is a wine Sommelier and Joshua who plays professional baseball. They meet when she notices him at the airport and gives him a coffee as he looks down. After talking for a few minutes in the airport, he then upgrades her to a first class seat and they hit it off, going on to spend almost the whole weekend

Firstly, I didn’t connect with the characters, I found Gretchen to be really annoying and have no backbone. I liked Josh’s character however I didn’t really feel emotionally involved with either of them.

It was very instalovey which is a trope that I generally avoid. I also hate the miscommunication trope and the fact that she forgave him within minutes of seeing each other again.

I hated the formatting of the book however this may be because it was an arc, I just found it hard to read and like it was never ending.

I hated the fact that I felt as though nothing was happening throughout the book and I ended up feeling like I was just scanning over a lot of it after the 70% mark.

Tropes
- Instalove
- Sports romance
- one night stand turned weekend?
- Miscommunication

This was a quick read! I'll never say no to a sports romance, but this one was a little on the bland side for me. I couldn't connect super well to the characters, and didn't find myself invested in the result of their love!

Thanks to Wattpad and Netgalley for this earc

Out of his league is super fun and cute romantic book with a baseball romance!

The FMC sees her favorite baseball player on the worst day of her life and ensues the meet cute between them! The book was so fun, sweet, heartwarming, fast paced, I enjoyed their dynamic and the book itself felt liked it moved quickly which I enjoyed. It’s very light and fun and nothing heavy on drama or angst so it’s perfect for those that just want a cute fun book

I’m very appreciative to Netgalley and Wattpad Books for the arc of OUT OF HIS LEAGUE but unfortunately it wasn’t the book for me. I wasn’t invested in the characters nor their romance and felt there was no real character development or solid plot. I do enjoy a book with a good amount of steam, but not just for the heck of it which was the case here. I don’t foresee myself being able to recommend this book to others looking for a romance read.

This is actually pretty damn cute and I enjoyed it more than I expected to. It read a lot like I imagine fan fiction would, but I liked it all the same. It started out on the slow side, but after a short while I was sucked in.

This was an ok read. It's a cute and fun romance you could finish in a day. If you are looking for a fun and light rrad, this one is for you.

Thank you netgalley, author and publisher for the free copy in exchange for my honest review.

This one just missed the mark for me. As much as I wanted to love it, I just couldn't get behind the love story! I typically am a fan of one night stand romances, but this one wasn't it for me.

I requested this book because Gretchen sounds a lot like me, honestly. Her character description really hit home for me. I'm also a sucker for a good meet-cute, and the airport is such a fun setting for that because of the possibilities. I liked both characters, but for me, this story was missing some depth. I wanted more of pretty much everything: interactions, dialogue, romance, etc. It's very lighthearted and very easy to read, but at times it felt too simple. This would be something I'd recommend to some of my senior girls, though, if they were looking for a romcom to take with them to the beach for Spring Break or Summer!

This book was awesome. Great summer read. Gretchen has always been a fan of baseball and when she meets one of her favorite players, Josh Malvern, at the airport she is drawn to him. They end up spending the night together thinking that is all it will be. I will say that it was a very fast paced book with a hot and steamy romance. I think that it was a good book, but not great. Everything happens so fast and then the book is done. Thank you NetGalley.

If you’re into wattpad reads then this is the book for you!
There was insta-lust and it got hot & heavy right away.
I think the misunderstanding and conflict was slightly annoying and the fact it was created by the mc’s friend..

If you want a quick, steamy, low angst and sports romance(baseball) this would be perfect for you!

Thank you to NetGalley and Wattpad books for this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

The book follows an MLB star sent down to the minor leagues and a sommelier and baseball lover who meet while headed to Vegas. The story is cute and fluffy, it's got insta-lust, medium steam, and good banter. Unfortunately, despite the good chemistry developed between the two main characters, the subplots and side characters really dragged the story down for me. I did enjoy the Canadian ties, as well as all of the baseball!

Overall, an okay beach read, good for fans of the insta-lust trope.

Review~
This book is about sports romance, fangirl, and a baseball player.

Gretchen is a huge fan of Josh who is an MLB player. It all started with a god cup of coffee and by then their chemistry was already really strong.

This book was really cute the characters played a really good roll in the book. Josh’s agent really annoyed me he did not care about what Josh wanted he only care about what would make him to most money.

Overall this book was a quick read I really enjoyed reading it. I would definitely recommend reading it. I loved how Gretchen best friend had her back no matter what!!

Thank you to Netgalley and Wattpad Books for the opportunity to read this ARC. This honest review was based off my experience reading an ARC, which in no way biased me.

I was drawn into this book with the cute cover, and sports romance premise. I have been on the look for a good sports romance, and I am still on the look out for it. This felt rushed and very surface level. There wasn’t much of the plot to connect with. This was very big on the insta love, celebrity/athlete trope and if you are into both of those things, consider picking this up.

Overall this gets a 2 star rating which is a ‘meh’ to me. I don’t have strong feelings toward or against this book.

While I was excited about the plot of this story, it did not quite live up to my expectations. The story felt a bit flat. However, the chemistry between the characters was great!

Thank you to NetGalley, Caroline Richardson and Wattpad Books for the free e-book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was awesome and I really really enjoyed the entire thing. This was really quick paced, fun and so so easy to read. It was very romantic and had real life issues about long distance relationships and other relationship issues that we can all relate too. I will definitely be waiting for the next novel from Richardson.
