This was a SUPER cute and quick, easy read, which I ended up reading in one sitting!

I would say it was almost an insta love romance, however in this setting there is nothing wrong with that! Gretchen and Joshua have chemistry from the start, and also - who doesn't love a sport based romance?

You will both laugh and tear up with this, but you will leave feeling like your heart is full!

I can't wait to see what else Caroline Richardson has up her sleeve, as I love her writing style!

I wanted to like this book because the plot is right up my alley - a baseball fan finds love with her favorite player. It was cute and the steamy stuff was fun, but I didn't buy the relationship between the main characters. There wasn't enough development between meeting and being madly in love and willing to commit their lives to each other.

This is definitely an insta-love romance, which honestly I didn't think I was going to like at first. The smut is front loaded at the beginning which made it feel like their relationship didn’t have a lot of substance. Which, to be honest I'm pretty sure it wasn't supposed to.
I really enjoyed this. I do think that feelings happened a little quickly, but I don’t fully mind since it is a romance. I think romances with athletes are some of my favorites and I want to read more. This book was cute and made me laugh and smile and the cover is super cute. I can’t wait to see what else this author writes.

This book is peak surface level, insta-love, fluffy book. There were not any major character arcs, or really any plot....and that's what I enjoyed the most about it! I started and finished 'Out of His League' in about 90 minutes. It was the perfect light read to add to my year in books. If you need a fun, quick read to meet your Goodreads goal this year: this is it! Josh and Gretchen were completely loveable characters and the book hooks you in from the start.

Overall, it was an ok read. I feel like everything happened very fast. I would have loved more time at the airport with them. I also feel like the writing was very choppy and sometimes was confused on how we got from point a to point b. I think if the story was fleshed out a bit more and we had more background and information about the MC’s it could be much better. I just never got emotionally invested in their love story.

Thank you for approving me for this title.

I don't really know how to start this off. The book was fine? It was a quick read and I think because of that, I couldn't really get attached to the characters, which mean I didn't care. It was a whirlwind romance between two characters who were never quite fleshed out the way I needed them to be. Of you're looking for a spicy, quick read, I think you'd like this. Otherwise, keep looking.

Out of His League was such a cute story!! I did almost have a hard time truly connecting with Gretchen and Josh in the beginning but I ended loving the relationship nonetheless. Overall it was a cute story and sport romance but it’s nothing too deep.

This book is so good! It is easy to read all at once I could not put it down! There were even some spicy scenes! I loved it!!

Out Of His League by Caroline Richardson was nothing more than a surface-level romance with underdeveloped characters and a fast-paced romance that left me wanting nothing more than to close the book and be done with it. It was an incredibly simple and boring read, and I wouldn’t really recommend it to anyone.

I was really excited for this book. Anytime a baseball player is involved, I am sold. However, this book missed the mark for me in many ways.

When Gretchen sees her favourite baseball player Josh, at the airport, she decides to buy him a coffee. Despite Gretchen having the worst day of her life, Josh invites her to first class as a way to thank her for the coffee and overall kindness she showed him. And then begins the relationship that sparks between the two.

Right away there was an instant attraction/lust between the two characters, which only means we have to expect a miscommunication and fight. That miscommunication did happen and I was not a fan of it. I felt like the book started in the wrong way and it took until the last few chapters till I actually enjoyed reading it. The ending was sweet, and I did start to enjoy the characters more than I did in the beginning chapters, but I felt like there was something missing.

Overall, this book was mediocre at best. The insta-love and miscommunication trope was not for me. If you are looking for a simple insta-love sport romance than this book is for you.

Thank you NetGalley and Wattpad publishing for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

First off, I love all sports romances so I was super excited for this. It was cute, it really way and has several smutty scenes. However, you could 100% tell it came from wattpad which is fine! The conflict was a little silly to me but it didn’t ruin the whole things for me. Still a cute sports romance.

2.5/5

Thank you NetGalley for sending this arc for an honest review!

At this point any book that faces a cover that looks like this is an automatic read for me. To begin off with sports romances are always a top. They never fail to amaze me. And this one my friends made me laugh, and cry, and i don’t know it was just so heartwarming that I would willingly be reading this again! It was such a fun read and an adorable romance!

This book is okay. It’s a sports romance about a MLB player and a wine sommelier. The book is fairly smutty there are multiple sex scenes. So if that’s what your looking for, this book has it. The romance story line was fairly cute. The conflict was kind of stupid imo but like it didn’t ruin it for me. Not sure that I would recommend it unless you’re specifically looking for a short lighthearted smutty sports romance.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I’m so sad to say it, but this didn’t work for me. I initially hyped myself up for this because I instantly fell for the adorable cover and cute rom com premise, but I really didn’t vibe with this. The biggest dealbreaker for me was that I couldn’t connect to any of the characters. They didn’t have much in the way of character growth/development and overall just felt very flat and two dimensional. Instalove isn’t always a deal breaker for me, but when paired with lackluster characters it definitely is. I ultimately couldn’t get invested in the plot since I didn’t really care about any of the characters of what happened to them.

Despite my problems/misgivings with this book, I actually really did enjoy the author’s writing style and general plot concept. So while this one didn’t work for me, I would definitely consider revisiting this author in the future!

This book was on my tbr for so long and once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters and the story. I read it on one sitting and couldn't get over it. It's hard not to fall in love with Gretchen and Josh. I can't wait to read more by the author!

This was a fun and fast read. It wasn't bad it just wasn't very memorable and I'm not sure I'd recommend it to others.

i am obsessed! i love sport romances books and this was just absolutely perfect. it will definitely be such a big hit on tiktok

When you meet your dream guy buy them coffee. If I had half the guts and luck the main characters did I be on my way to an airport coffee shop. I absolutely loved the best friend and hopes she gets a novel of her own as well. You don’t have to be a huge sports fan to understand this book but if you are it stays true to the sport. Super grateful to have read this book and definitely count this as a pick me up happy romance book. Has a different POV writing style at time of review which is refreshing to see events via both characters.

let me preface my review by saying that I am not an insta-love fan. it might be attraction based on looks but I don’t think you can really know someone until you actually get to know them.

THAT BEING SAID. I loved how quick and easy this one was to read! the characters were likable enough, the romance was STEAMY, but the miscommunication and lustiness (is that a word lol) was not it for me.

if someone (a sTRANGER MIND YOU) pawed at me with that shallow attitude for two minutes straight, I’d file for harassment lol.

the subplot was definitely not necessary but it was a nice distraction from the never ending gushy fest. the conflict in the entire thing is definitely unnecessary because if there’s one trope I cannot stand, it’s when the two characters won’t talk to each other and expect each other to READ THEIR MINDS.

okay maybe I do have feelings on this one lol :’)

but I absolutely loved the style of writing and the setting! if you’re looking for a quick romance read, definitely give this one a shot.

rating: 1.5 stars

A hot baseball player having fling in Vegas with a beautiful young lady? Yes, please; sign me up,. This was a super fun, hot romance. Definitely a quick read and one that readers will enjoy (especially if you have a couple if free hours, because you're going to want to read this all in one sitting)..
