Stealing Home by Grace Reilly
I enjoyed this third book in the series, as well. Probably on the same level as the first one where I was invested in the characters and their story and wasn't disappointed, but not quite as much as I loved the second book. Sebastian, the adopted brother in the Callahan family, has liked his brother's girlfriend's best friend Mia as long as he's known her, and there were even hooking up in secret for a few months. Then she bailed before their first real date and they haven't really been speaking. But when Cooper and Penny are away, Mia's dorm floods and Sebastian rescues her by convincing her to stay at their house since he's alone. Of course they eventually start hooking up again but he doesn't know that she wants him as much as he wants her and always has, she's just scared because her family doesn't think there's anything she should do but become a teacher and housewife and mother, but she doesn't want kids or maybe even marriage, and she's actually in school for Astrophysics and wants to work at NASA. Wanting him that much scares her because she doesn't want that to abandon her dream, and thinks he deserves someone who can follow him through his baseball career like his birth mom did for his birth dad (who he's compared to all the time). The MLB draft is coming up soon but no one knows Seb is dreading it. I thought their connection was good, the mutual pining with a side of he falls first was good, the spice was spicing as per usual in this book. There's only been a few hints towards his sister's Izzy's book, which is next, but I think I've figured out who her secret guy might be, so I'm looking forward to reading it.
