✱✱Book Review✱✱ First Time Up by Declan Rhodes

First Time Up
Living Legends Book 3 
by Declan Rhodes 


There are plenty of firsts for a big league baseball player. There’s the first time up to bat. There’s the first time you hit a home run, and there’s the first time you go to bed with a man.

Eric’s team, the Charlotte Yellowjackets, has experienced the coming out of two players and a coach all in one season. Romance fever has gripped the fans, and straight arrow Eric fears everyone is ignoring his banner season. Then he meets Harley, the right fielder called up to replace his best friend, Chase.

Harley grew up as a small-town boy from southern Indiana. He’s been a journeyman over six seasons in the minor leagues. When he thinks his baseball career is nearly over, he’s called up by the Yellowjackets to take over right field. He’s muscular and fast, and he’s pursued only women until he meets Eric.

It’s not long before one night together turns into a relationship sharing custody of their dog, Rudy, from Harley’s local charitable cause, an animal shelter. They move in, come out, make plans for the future, and then the roof caves in. Will love, the support of friends, and a national movement of fans be enough to keep the new couple together?

First Time Up is a 55,000-word first-time-gay baseball romance. It is book 3 in the Living Legends series and includes characters from both earlier books, but it can be read as a standalone story. The book includes steamy scenes and a guaranteed happy ending.

Momma Says: 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Engaging characters, witty dialogue, off the charts chemistry, scorching hot steamy fun, and baseball! This one has it all. Eric and Harley are absolutely lovable and together, they're swoon-worthy. I've enjoyed this series from the beginning, and I've loved getting to revisit the other couples and seeing where they are in their relationships as the series progresses. That said, with each book, I think I have a favorite couple and then the new one comes along to change that, which is exactly the case with Eric and Harley. Even when I wanted to give Harley a good shake, and I certainly felt that way more than once, he was still one of the most lovable characters I've come across. We do have a bit of angst, but it's not over the top, and these two are just so good together that you know they're gonna get their happy ending. All in all, this one is a thoroughly charming romance with lots of fun and plenty of game play for the baseball fans.

First Time Up is the third book in the Living Legends series but can be read as a standalone. However, I recommend reading from the beginning so you don't miss out on all these wonderful couples and their stories.
