Sliding into Home (Playing for Keeps Book 3) by Lauren Fraser – Review by Kerry Carr

Sliding into Home: A Secret Baby Sports Romance by Lauren Fraser
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Playing for Keeps series. This is a sports romance. It can be read as a standalone even though it is part of a series. The author does an amazing job with the characters. They are so relatable they feel like they are your friends. This story is a second chance romance. It is an emotional story that is very heartwarming.

In this story we are with Jeff and Kia. Jeff and Kia have history. After a one night stand Kia was left with a remind in the form of her son. When she found out she was pregnant she tried to contact Jeff but couldn’t find him.
Fast forward 6 years and Kia has been finding her way. Working as a tattoo artist and raising her son Max alone. Things seem to be heading in the right direction finally. Until her one night stand comes back into her life and the secret of her sons dad is revealed.
Jeff has returned home and is now a coach of a baseball team. He can’t believe his luck when Kia appears. And even though he is shocked at first by the realisation he is a dad, he is determined to be the best and make up for the time he has lost.
The more time he spends with Max and Kia the more he falls in love with them both. His attraction to Kia never left and as their chemistry builds they both need to learn to navigate this new relationship and everything that involves.
Can their relationship work this time or will the pressured of Jeff’s job and the pressure of parenthood put to many obstacles in their way.
This is a fast paced story full of love, family drama, past hurts and jealousy. I loved the characters and little Max really brings the story together. I was totally invested in this couple and wanted them to get their happily ever after
