Blurb
I should be focusing on my game–not on falling for my gorgeous, grumpy roommate… especially since she’s already left me once.
Sebastian
It’s my final season to prove myself before the MLB Draft. The last thing I need is a distraction–and especially not one as tantalizing as Mia di Angelo.
She’s the drop-dead gorgeous astrophysicist-in-training who ditched me the moment I wanted to take us from casual to committed. Yeah. Ouch. But when she needs somewhere to stay for the summer… well. I offer her my place.
Being roommates shouldn’t be so hard. Not distracting at all. Not the least bit challenging…
Mia
I have two goals this get into a study abroad program, and get over golden baseball god Sebastian Miller-Callahan.
Doesn’t mean it’s easy to stop thinking about him, but he deserves better than a prickly, career-focused girl like me. Our futures can’t be more different. The last thing I need is to play roommates with the only man who can set my body ablaze.
And all the feelings I’ve tried to pretend I never had? They come rushing back far too strong for either of us to ignore.
Filled with swoons, spice, sports, and second chances, Stealing Home is a don’t-miss adult college sports romance.

My Thoughts:
I am so into this series! I love that each brother plays a different sport and I liked how hard Sebastien falls for Mia! I also liked the family drama aspect.
Sebastien and Mia are such a wonderful couple! They both clearly had feelings for each other from the beginning of the story but their situation made it complicated. I loved that they both had an arc in this story even though their feelings for each other didn't change that much.
I loved Mia's interest in Astronomy! As someone who has a somewhat niche academic (don't get me started on the reasons for psychiatric comorbidity) it read very authentically! I liked that Mia had a supportive mentor even though she didn't have a lot of other support.
I recommend this to anyone who likes a sports romance, opposites attract, academically gifted heroines, or roommates to lovers! I can't wait for the final book in this series! The hints dropped in this one tell me it's going to be great!
🌶️🌶️🌶️ - This book has a handful of open-door spicy scenes. It's a little less spicy than Breakaway but still not for readers who don't like spice as a significant part of the story.
