The Rookie

Carolina Catfish #3

by Ana Shay

Rookie. Beginner, recruit. Especially a first-year player in a professional sport.

Yup, that’s me. Austin Adams, the newest third basemen for the Carolina Catfish and a Rookie… in every sense of the word. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been past third base plenty of times in the minors but heading to the big leagues is a different beast. One I’ve never even tried to conquer.

In walks the girl of my dreams. Mia James. Beauty personified with the compassion to match. Only problem, she has a little boy and more problems than I can count – Ergo, she wants nothing to do with a rookie like me.
Too bad I’ve set my sights on her. Now she’s going to find out why I’m the top prospect for Rookie of the Year.

I felt the book just centered around Austin’s virginity. Everything else just seemed like it was in there to spice up a book about a 21 year old baseball player losing his v card.
I wish the focus had been swapped.
This just didn’t work for me.

I really enjoyed this! Story was great, and I love how my favorites from the other two books were still mentioned. The only thing that bugged me here was that there were a lot of grammatical errors- some spelling was incorrect and words were off. I think "he" was used when it should have been "she" at one time and there's a couple others that I just can't remember off the top of my head.

Literally couldn’t put this one down! Austin Adams might just be my newest book boyfriend heartthrob! I was smiling and giggling through this entire story!!! We love a confident king who knows what he wants and goes for it, even if he is “inexperienced” *infinite fire emojis*

The only thing I liked about the book were the main characters….a young third baseman and an older woman who is a teacher
