I love Ava so much! Nikki Pennington gets better and better with each book she writes and Ava is the perfect example.
Ava Baker is a beautifully broken woman. From the outside looking in it looks like she has the perfect life. A family who loves her, a stepfather who is an ex pro baseball player, and a father who was a pro baseball player. But for Ava it's all a lie. Her mother left when she was in kindergarten, and her father died not long after. While she's never wanted for anything, she's wanted for everything. To not know your father means you'll never miss him but Ava knew him and he was an amazing father. So the pain from losing him runs deep. Her mother leaving was better, let's face it, Shay is amazing. But no matter how amazing she Ava will always know her mother didn't want her.
When Ava is once again faced with lose, the pain is just too much. All she wants is to be happy and feel happy again and life just keeps knocking her down. But sometimes life puts us through the worst kind of pain to prove how strong we are. And Ava Baker may have needed to be shown just how strong and deserving of life and love she is. When fate throws someone in front of Ava she tries to push him away. But sometimes we just need someone to push us back and show us how wrong we are.
Writing this review and not giving anything away is so hard. There's so much I want to say but don't want to ruin the book.
Nikki Pennington once again pulls at the heartstrings with Extra Innings. She made me fall in love with these characters and feel all of their feelings. I'm crying as I write this review remembering it all.
Extra Innings is a beautifully written story about love and pain. It's about learning how to heal from some of the worst pain a person could ever feel.

Poor, sweet Ava. It's impossible not to feel her despair when life continues to try and break her down. Goodness. But what beauty comes from her found family. Ms. Pennington is a master at the found family, and what she's built in this series is the best I've seen.
As for the hero and heroine, they are easy to root for. You've got to love a man who won't give up, who sees a woman for both who she is and who she could be with the right support.
A satisfying romance and another great book in this series!

One of the things I absolutely love about Nikki Pennington is that we’ve literally been able to see the kids grow and flourish. She didn’t leave us with Shay and Jimmy’s ending, no she took us to Ryder and Morgan and now we get Ava. They have become my family and I am loving being able to see them grow and mature.

Absolutely adored Ava’s story. My heart literally shattered or her. The journal entries had my heart breaking page by page. This one will definitely grab at your heart strings. Be prepared with tissues in hand.
Loved Mason and his persistence to be there for Ava. The relay these two share is beyond amazing. A try beautiful love story.
