New York Monarchs #3
Home Runner: New York Monarchs, Book 3
Luke Weston is my best friend.
He's also the New York Monarchs' coach, a perpetual grump, and right now, the man driving the getaway car on my wedding day. I should be panicking about how I just blew up my life or how the media will inevitably tarnish my name.
But while I'm hiding up in the mountains with Luke, it's hard to focus on anything but the way his eyes linger on me and how my body aches for a touch I shouldn't want. As the days go on, my mind starts to wander, and I can't help but think that maybe I should reach for what I truly want before it slips out of my grasp. But no matter how much we might want to, we can't hide away forever.
And the consequences of my actions are impatiently waiting for me back in the city.
Daisy Stonehaven is my saving grace.
But this time, it's my turn to do the rescuing. I know I should be on my best behavior while she begins to piece her life back together. But boundaries blur as we share the only bed inside my remote cabin, and the control I've clung to for over a year starts to fray. The truth is, I've always wanted to be more than Daisy's friend. And I'll do whatever it takes to make sure she walks away from this scandal unscathed, even if it means standing under the stadium spotlights to set the record straight.
Because when this is all over, I'll make sure the only place Daisy will ever have to run to is back home to me.

OMG, this series is so good and so bingeable.
Starting this book with a runaway bride was everything I needed, and the fact that the man who had been in love with her forever is the one who helps her run? Absolute chef’s kiss.
I loved that the author didn’t waste time dragging out their feelings. You could already feel the tension building in the previous books, so getting to the good part quickly felt exactly right.
Home Runner proves again that Millie Perez knows how to write spice because wow… that scene? Yes. Memorable. And yes, I’d read it again.
But beyond the chemistry, I really loved the quieter moments too, especially the daisies. Those little details made everything hit even harder emotionally.
You’ll be rooting for both of them the entire time because they’ve both spent so long feeling like background characters in their own lives, and this finally feels like their moment to step forward and shine.

Thank you Millie Perez and her team for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Actual rating 4.25 ⭐️
This was my first book from Millie and I absolutely adored it!!! It was sooo fun to read that I finished it in about 5 hours and had the best time.
I loved Luke and Daisy so much! Especially how much they communicated with each other. There was no third act breakup, no miscommunication and they were so incredibly sweet throughout the book.
I loved the found family and I honestly can't wait for what comes next after that bonus chapter!
Read this if you love:
• friends to lovers
• runaway bride
• forced proximity
• found family
• yearning
• amazing spice

4.5 stars - We have been waiting for Luke and Daisy since their first interaction in Strikeout!
I love a hero who is in LOVE from the start, and that is our guy Luke. From his silent friendship to the way he loved Daisy exactly the way she needed, the author knew what she was doing with the build up between these two. Once Daisy's ex was out of the picture, Luke was not about to let her slip away!
Daisy is a heroine a lot of us can resonate with. Her people pleasing tendencies were showcased by the author, and you could see how it was affecting Daisy on the inside. I think we've all faced situations in life where we make decisions based on the feelings of others without consideration for ourselves. Watching her come into her own and do what SHE wants was refreshing, and extremely relatable.
I can't wait for the next book in this series! The author has created an amazing found family with the Monarchs crew, and the crumbs she dropped for the next couple have me EXCITED.

April 12, 2026i can feel the three star rating radiating from this book and i can’t do it anymore…
this is a perfectly fine romance between the coach of a baseball team and the social media manager (i think) but i’m just not feeling it. everything moved at light speed and i’m only 46% in so i needed to stop…
gorgeous cover tho!!

Millie Perez sure can write the perfect MMC. She has shown us this time and time again. Home Runner was everything I was looking for in a sports romance. This is a friends to lovers romance done RIGHT!
The FMC was so freaking relatable, at times it felt like looking in the mirror. Which makes everything Luke says to reassure her even more memorable.
A runaway bride and her getaway car driver. I love these two with all my heart.

2.5 stars
A disappointment, unfortunately.
I really liked the first two books in this series, but this one I skimmed quite a bit.
From the glimpses of Luke and Daisy that we had in the previous book, I was expecting more of an angsty, slow-burn storyline, with lots of yearning. Home Runner did not deliver on that - the relationship between Luke and Daisy went full on in the blink of an eye, with barely any build-up, all of it before the 50% mark.
Daisy's supposedly this people-pleaser, but we are TOLD that and barely SHOWN it.
I hate that Luke's and Daisy's story was more about external things than the friends-to-lovers story between them.
I really enjoy Mille Perez's writing, so I'm going to read more from her for sure. This storyline was just not my jam.

March 25, 2026First and foremost THANKS to Millie for the e-ARC of Home Runner, in exchange of an honest review.
Writing this review is hard for me because as a member of the Millie Perez and New York Monarch fan club, I was extremely excited to finally read Luke and Daisy's love story. Runaway bride? Forced Proximity? SIGN ME UP! However, this book didn't work for me. I felt no chemistry between the characters, and the pace of the book was extremely fast! With all Daisy had going on, and had gone through I would've like to see more of her growth and more of her healing before starting things with Luke. I like Daisy, and hold a special place in my heart for her because of her upbringing, which is why I think she deserved better. Luke...I won't speak about you!
Home Runner has some sweet moments, and one thing that I did like was the lack of miscommunication. They did know how to talk to each other. The first two books of this series are some of my favorite books ever, and I will never, EVER shut up about them and stop recommending them. But when It comes to Home Runner...Idk!
HOWEVER, me not liking this book doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a try. If you like the tropes, give this book a shot, it might be a 5 star read for you!
Tropes:
- Runway Bride
- Friends to Lovers (He has been in love with her the whole time)
- Sport Romance (Baseball, he is the Coach)
- Force Proximity
- Only One Bed

IT DID NOT DISAPPOINTTT
in Millie Perez style, the chapter were short and quick, easy to read and so freaking perfect.
like always, i kept crying over little things she described and the emotions portrayed so perfectly, i cannot stop saying how perfect this book is for me. i loved Luke, definitely gonna stay in my top book boyfriend ever and wasn't ready for how sad this book was gonna make me, it broke my heart and put it together. and Daisy is my little cute girl with a big heart and finally having what she wanted
spice on point like expected, i knew Millie was gonna keep me on my toes with it.
love it love it love ittt!

the way i love this whole series and was looking forward to this book to just have it fall soooo flat for me is so disappointing 😭
i don’t think i really liked Daisy the whole series but Luke really intrigued me. but idk it irritates me when a woman is such a doormat for everyone and all it takes is one man to make her change and give her the confidence to stand up for herself. and Luke is the grumpy, brooding guy who doesn’t speak (which i usually LOVE) but immediately when he got with Daisy he flipped completely and was a new guy.
mind you after she ditches her wedding it’s like 2 whole days MAYBE before her and Luke are together and in love… alright
we all know her dad and ex-fiancé suck so no surprises there….
this book has the dead ex trope which is why Luke is so quiet and broody but idk why since his ex was not a good person but whatever
Daisy was engaged forever and they never had sex. silver lining is that Luke never looked at another woman once he met Daisy 🤷🏽♀️
also how many love declarations can happen on this baseball field???? it’s actually quite old now…. as a fan i would be like WTF
next book is Luke’s sister and their playboy player.. 🫠 second chance where he already made it seem like “it’s her fault I’m like this (aka a whore) so there’s that. YAY! 🙄🥴

“I should have asked you sooner. What do you want, Luke?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“You.”
The nicknames from Luke. Daisy girl, daze. I loved them. Luke is a man soooo down bad and obsessed, truly I’m shocked he wasn’t wearing a collar and leash to hand over to Daisy at any moment. And what a DIRTY mouth on that man. Wow the spice was spicing as all Millie’s books really do but this was one of those “wow that’s gross” as you highlight and save the page 😂
A surprise not to myself but add this to another book with my favorite microtrope and now a fav **he comes in his pants**
“I want you to f—k me like you plan on breaking me, Luke. Because that’s exactly what I want to do to you.”
Now I am only giving this 4 stars because I struggled to connect with the story from how quickly everything transpires and just from 25%-55% I struggled to see a deeper connection between the two main characters. BUT that being said I loved everything after.. i mean I was sobbing at midnight when Valentina found pieces of Daisys mom to connect her to her.
What you’re getting into with this book:
✨ runaway bride
✨ only one bed
✨ friends to lovers
✨ forced proximity
✨ workplace romance
✨ he’s been yearning for years
✨ he’s grumpy/quiet to everyone but her
✨ SPICE 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I love when a man is an unapologetic simp and Luke Weston? He is the king of the Simps. A runaway bride is always a concept I can get behind!

Review of advance copy received from Author
Disclaimer: I received an early copy of this book to beta read. This did not affect the following review.
I was so excited to read Home Runner, because I loved the previous two novels in this interconnected standalone series: Strikeout and Fair Trade. I think this is a great series if you’re looking for Latine sports romances. With every book, I see Millie Perez’s writing improve more and more. I would also say this is her spiciest book yet! The romance in Home Runner is between Luke, the Monarchs' coach and Nick's (the general manager’s) sister, Daisy. Daisy a runaway bride, and Luke helps her recuperate after her almost-wedding to her abusive ex. There’s a lot of forced proximity, yearning, kind of friends to lovers, and ultimately a lot about standing up for yourself. It’s very sweet, and I had a lot of fun reading it!

Millie Perez has definitely become a new favorite author 🤭 I am so thankful for this early e-copy! I cannot wait for the next book in this series. That preview was chef kiss 😚
The moment I saw Luke and Daisy’s dynamic in Fair Trade which is the second book in this series, I knew I was going to love them! 🥰
I love when a mmc is super grumpy and he completely changes with the fmc.
Luke is such an act of service king (really similar to Ryan Shay from The Right Move) so if that is your thing you’re going to eat this book up.
I already cannot wait to re-read this book and for the audiobook ♥️
Tropes:
Friends to Lovers
He falls first
He falls harder
One Bed
Grumpy x Sunshine
Found Family

It was good - it really was.
But the stakes were so low and EVERYTHING worked out for them.
I felt like there was very little conflict involved, and I needed some edge to this.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Thank you to Millie Perez for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
Home Runner follows Daisy Stonehaven, the marketing gal for the Monarchs baseball team, and Luke Weston, the team coach! Daisy is a runaway bride, and who's driving her getaway car? None other than Coach Luke Weston. Toeing the line between friendship and more is a struggle for both sides as the tension sizzles between them, and feelings grow stronger.
I was immediately hooked to Daisy and Luke's storyline from the previous book in the Monarch's series! Luke's attention and patience with Daisy is so wholesome in both books, which I absolutely loved. I wished we got to know more about him personally, but I ate up all the material we got regardless! Daisy is a chronic people pleaser (I get her!!!!), and she slowly unlearns that by Luke's side :,) I loved how these two helped each other flourish and get out of a dark patch.
My one criticism is that I wish there was more build up before the 50% mark! I think if the book gave us flashbacks of how Luke fell in love with Daisy, I'd be able to connect to their romance more! On Daisy's side, I believe after a whole failed wedding, she needed just a little more time to process it all before jumping into another relationship.
Nonetheless, this was super wholesome! These two are absolute saps, and I loved them! If you love a good yearning MMC, a retired people pleaser, and no third act breakup, this one's for you! <3

Home Runner⚾️🌼💍🎙️🌳🪓
Thank you Millie for the e-arc of Home Runner, out now💓✨
Last year when I read Strikeout, I had never been impacted by a book as much as I was with that one. The cultural discussions, the language barrier, the soft love, all of it intertwined so beautifully🫂
I knewwwwwww Home Runner would be phenomenal, and goodness it was. Luke and Daisy’s relationship was one for the books. I love a friends to lovers relationship because the way they cherish and adore each other as friends and think it’s normal and then slowly start to realize “oh… maybe I do love them more than friends” it gets me every time !!!!!
Millie shines at writing multicultural romances that make so many people feel seen. I as a half Puerto Rican reader loved reading her write Dominican representation as it’s so beautiful to read other cultures and see our similarities and differences.
When I got accepted for the arc, I genuinely shed some tears. My first arc from Millie and it couldn’t be more perfect! Daisy and Luke’s love is one I 100% will be revisiting again soon. It’s also my first book by Millie I own and it came with these gorgeous incentives! Look at my angels🥹
Thank you Millie for writing these beautiful books! I can’t wait for what’s to come🤭 and I will be making another post soon cause I fear I yapped too much and couldn’t talk about how obsessed I am over Luke and Daisy!!!!

4.5⭐️
The way Luke made me blush so many times should honestly be illegal 😅The things that came out of his mouth had me with my jaw on the floor, clutching my pearls🥵 I loved the way he loved on Daisy it was literally top tier. He really took care of her, fed her, bought her panties, comfy clothes, and truly cherished her like there was no tomorrow! And pleaseeee… a moment for those audio recordings 😭 I was deep in my feelings!!! We all deserve a Luke 💖 As a Latina girly I also really loved the Latin representation, from Aventura to Bad Bunny to the chisme and everything in between. It felt like HOME and so comforting. The character dynamics and found family were a favorite too. And when Valentina and Ace got introduced??? I was literally screaming. The tension was insane, and I can’t wait to read their story 🤭
P.S The office scene was HOT 🔥

Amazing
“No, because it’s impossible for me not to memorize every single thing about you.”
This book was amazingly romantic. Luke does some of the swooniest things. The garden, the apartment, the recordings, the friendship, the jewelry... everything he did was what she needed.
Daisy, oh man. A people pleaser who just needed someone to ask what she really wanted. I enjoyed her journey. The family reunion(sort of), the middle finger,realizing how nice it is to rock her natural hair, and the found family of friends she acquired... when she found out how similar she was to her mom...ahhh I full on cried.
This was so sexy and sweet. It had me lol-ing and crying. I just really couldn't love this more. I can't wait to read what's next by this author.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ arc review ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
5 MILLION STARS. Any time Millie writes about the Dominican Republic or just DR things in general, it reads like a love letter to her culture. It has such a warm and comforting vibe. She also made me hate men even more because men like Luke Weston don’t exist. I’m sick to my stomach!!!!!!!!!!! This is the third book in her New York Monarchs baseball romance series and the MMCs just keep getting better and better. LUKE YOU NASTY MAN. Do it again 👀🫦 If I had a nickel every time I blushed…He is just the perfect man for Daisy, I could cry. He really showed up for her time and time again (no spoilers, sorry. If I cried, you’re gonna cry too!). There are just so many beautiful moments and grand gestures from finding out the origin of her name, Luke making her feel safe and making sure she always had a place to call home, THE FLOWERS, constantly reassuring her and being transparent with her, knowing her exact fast food order THAT’S intimacy. This book had me kicking my feet and screaming down to the very end where my favorite trope is a secret surprise.
“I no longer wanted to be just your friend… I wanted to be your very best one.”
