My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really love a book that combines some flirty romance with sports. This book delivers that and more! I loved the closeness of the main characters with the supporting characters, they really feel like a great group of friends that you would know. The scenes just pop off the page. A quick read second chance. Definitely recommend!

Bree Kraemer’s Walk Off is a great romance read! I love the tale of a past love reconnected but with a twist. The characters are so realistic, and the situation that they are in is something that happens more often than we’d like to think about. The love that Kyle Dulanay has for Celia Mullen is so deep, I felt like I was a bystander watching their story unfold before my eyes. There are so many ups and downs, tears were definitely shed over the fear that Celia has in keeping her daughter close to her, as a mom this resonated with me so deeply. You’ll want to read this in one sitting, it was so hard to put down once I got started, I was invested in the lives of the characters and couldn’t wait to see what the outcome would be for our heroine Celia. This steamy book had me wondering why these two ever broke things off in the first place, they can’t seem to keep their hands off one another!

I’m a sucker for a good sports romance, and this author didn’t let me down. Walk Off was everything I expected and then some.? The beginning of a new series that leaves the reader wanting more.
Celia and Kyle have been through the ups and downs of heartbreak. What happens when 8 years pass and all those feelings come rushing back?
The way the author navigated the narrative of the story is beautiful. Are there ups and downs? Sure. Is there character growth? Absolutely. It also makes me feel.
I can relate to why Celia made the decision she did, I’ve been there. So another thing this author did was get me to reflect on what I read as well as my own life. In ways I never expected going into this book.
I can’t wait for the next books in this series. Time to go look them up and some other books by this author. An author who’s working their way on my favorites list.

This is a great second chance romance and one in which you will really root for the characters the whole way through. This book is a combination of some of my favourite tropes – second chance, secret baby, sports. I knew I was going to enjoy this book as soon as I started reading and I can definitely say that I did. It was lovely to see the connection between the main characters build again after so much time apart.
This is a new author to me and if this book is anything to go by it is one who will become very familiar. I really enjoyed getting to know these characters and the overall writing style. It found the book to be easy to read, the perfect escape into a fictional world. I am looking forward to book 2 already.

Celia is living a good life with her daughter. She has a good job and great friends to make her life run a bit smoother. The last person she expects to run into is someone she let go of a long time ago. There is a huge secret she had kept from him and it looks like the time has come to let everything out. Kyle is living his dream life playing a sport that he loves, but he is missing out on sharing it with the one that he loves. Fate steps in and puts her back in his path at a mutual friends wedding. Will they pick up where they left off or will Celia’s secret tear them apart forever? This is a feel good second chance romance. You are definitely rooting for the couple to work things out and end up together. This is the first book I have read by this author and really enjoyed her writing style. She does a great job of bringing out the emotions of the characters and making you feel what they feel. I can’t wait to read the other books in this series.

This is the first book in the Ground Rule series and, for me, served as a great introduction to the author.
I enjoyed the writing style the author used, that alongside the plot flowed well and make for an easy read. The characters were lovable and well-written, their chemistry almost tangible. I really enjoyed Celia and Kyle as a couple and was rooting for them throughout.
The story was sweet, and I can see why the characters made the decisions they did out of love. I was emotionally invested in Celia and Kyle’s journey and am happy with how their story ends.
This was the first book I read by the author and I’m now a fan, I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

This book was an amazing read with a lot of heartfelt moments. Bree does an amazing job of bringing up real-world problems in this book.
Celia is a woman who is built a family in a town with her friends and her sister. When she was younger she made a major mistake and let someone go when she should have been honest. She lived eight years knowing that she lied to the one person who meant the world to her.
Kyle is a man with a job that now has a lot of press and gets him noticed everywhere he goes. When he accepts an invitation from a friend to come to an event he did not go expecting to see the woman who stole and broke his heart. He spent years trying to move on and forget her but who can forget the person that has their heart?
What happens when the truth comes out? Can you forgive someone for lying to you and using the most hateful words to get you to leave? Was it really love or was it just first love?
Read this book to find out what happens with Kyle and Celia. Will they be able to reconcile?

Walk Off is book one in the Ground Rule series. I have always been super involved in sports growing up and seeing that this was a feel good romance but also involved a sports theme, in Walk Off it was mainly centered around a baseball player, only added to my interest. Celia and Kyle are the female and male character but there are a lot of side characters too. Celia broke Kyles heart many years ago but as fate would have it they show up to the same wedding of friends where they are reunited and their love is rekindled. I thought this was a great book but there were a few moments where I thought Celia was pushing against everything to hard or things were a little immature but I also felt like those parts added to the story and helped us understand why Celia and Kyle are the way they are because of their past and trauma they are both a little emotionally stunted. Their friends were so supportive but also gave them space to come to terms with their own feelings. This all came together to make a great read that I really enjoyed. I look forward to reading the others in the series.

Walk Off (Ground Rule Book 1)
I have been a fan of Ms. Kraemer since her Cedarville series and was so excited to dive into this book and I wasn’t disappointed. She paints the picture in your head with using extra and unnecessary words to fill the pages.
Second chance romance is one on the tropes I enjoy a lot. Throw in sports, especially baseball and I’m hooked. I’m so glad I read this book, especially after the week i have had. Celia and Kyle are both great characters and I instantly fell in love with them and their friends.
I already have the next two books on my Kindle waiting to be read, and I can’t wait to read them. Once again Ms. Kraemer hit it out of the park.

A great, easy read! This one will suck you in and keep you turning the pages until the end. The author crafts an effortless second chance romance between Celia and Kyle. Once lovers, they find their way back to each other, but one secret could ruin it all!
The author builds a world upon fantastic characters. The reader is pulled into their story and can’t help but rooting for them. The chemistry between the characters is palpable. It is well written and engaging. I highly recommend this read!

This was a wonderful start to the Ground Rule series! It was also my first read by Bree Kraemer, and I’m already picking up other books by her. I absolutely loved the emotional story of a second chance romance with Kyle and Celia. You will feel the heartbreaking past and be torn by the choices they have to make. You can feel their chemistry and will be speeding through the book asking yourself will they or won’t they?! This author has definitely been placed on my watch list because I love their writing style! I highly recommend picking this up and getting lost in this amazing fast-paced sports romance.

Walk Off is Book One in the Ground Rules series. It is a second chance romance story that centers around the characters of Celia and Kyle. Celia broke Kyle’s heart eight years ago but he has never gotten over her. When he sees her at the wedding of a friend all the memories come flooding back. He still loves her and even though she broke his heart his feelings for her have not changed. Celia still loves Kyle, but she lied to him years ago and has been hiding a secret from him ever since that could cause Kyle to hate her forever. Can Celia and Kyle get past the hurt, secrets, and lies and get a second chance at love? This is a beautifully written story with wonderful characters whose lives were easy to become invested in. You could not help but root for them to work through the hurt from their painful past and get a fresh new start together. Celia’s decision was clearly a gut-wrenching one to make for Kyle to have a chance at a future. The chemistry between them is undeniable and hard for either of them to deny. This book was full of raw emotions, love, loss, secrets, lies, betrayal, angst, drama, chemistry, passion, and second chances.

I have read a few books from this author and she always blows my mind with her writing style. This is the first book of her new series ground rule and let me tell you I’m hooked. You will fall in love with these characters right away. I could not put this book until the end. I can’t wait to see who she is going to write about next.

Celia knows the beautiful Kyle is back in town but she is afraid she might lose her world in the process. She sees him and everything goes out the window and old feelings come back once again. Will this secret shatter what they had or will it make them stronger?

As soon as I read about this book, I was immediately drawn to it. As a single mother, you make many sacrifices whether it involves your family, children, other loved ones, career, you name it. But life without your child leaves one vacant. In the beginning, the reader gets to see the true nature of Celia as she prepares for one of her friend’s weddings and manages the bridesmaid’s duties and handles her daughter as well. Unexpectedly she bumps into someone at the wedding, her ex, Kyle, who she broke his heart as he left to play baseball. At the time, Celia managed to keep quiet that when she left Kyle, she ended up being pregnant. As Kyle sees for the first time in a long time, all his feelings come bursting through. Although he has tried moving on, he hasn’t been successful and doing so. Now Celia is faced with telling the truth and seeing how things end up. The chemistry between these characters are vividly depicted by the author and you can feel their connection. This read was very engulfing and I cannot wait to read more!

Walk off by Bree Kraemer is a great second chance romance that leaves you wanting more.
Kyle and Celia have a common history. Lies, passion, half-truths, and hurt abound in this past. Kyle’s heart was broken when Celia dumped him eight years ago, but she also broke her own, in all honesty. Although they both moved on, they discovered that they still had a special place in their hearts for one another. They reignite their emotions for one another when they run into one another at the wedding of a mutual acquaintance. Kyle is a gracious person. But eight years ago, Celia made that decision for him.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down.

Walk Off by Bree Kraemer is book one in the Ground Rules series. Celia and Kyle dated years ago and spent nearly a decade trying to get over the other. That never happened. After meeting again, Celia decided she should probably come clean to Kyle about some major secrets she kept and lies she told. Will he forgive her? Can they happily ever after. I found this story to be cute albeit predictable. It was an easy, fast read and an overall good story. There were times where I felt like their characters were annoying but that could go many ways (meaning she makes them relatable or that the character was just whiny). I am definitely interested in the rest of this series!

Whew! What a quick read! One day was all it took since I struggled to put this down and it flows along so nicely I just kept turning pages. I love the storyline. I really felt the emotions of these two characters. They lost so much but could regain it if they can get past..the past. One of my favorite things in here is the pow wows he has with the other men. Their ideas and insight made me laugh. Along with their bickering all in the name of helping their friend.
This is a smashing start to a new series! I loved every second and am secretly hoping the next book is Zara and Noah. She seems like a spitfire!

When she was 18, Celia Mullen fell in love with Kyle Dulanay, and just as he was being called up to play major league baseball, Celia found out she was pregnant. To protect his ability to live his dream, Celia broke off their relationship, and broke Kyle’s heart. Nearly 8 years later, Kyle is invited to a wedding that Celia, and their daughter Jasmine, are a part of. Kyle is angry, and devastated, to learn that he has a daughter that he knew nothing of and missed out on so much with. Celia feels guilty and knows that she made a mistake, but at the time felt like she was doing the best thing for Kyle, by allowing him to live his dream and not have to make a choice. Kyle now wants to get to know his daughter, and after the anger dissipates, he realizes that he still loves Celia and wants both of them in his life. This is a great start to this series, and I cannot wait to read the rest of them as they come out! There is some strong language, and plenty of steamy scenes, with a guaranteed happily ever after.

Kyle is excited to see his best friend get married, friends from college he will always be there for Benji but as his flight was delayed, he missed the ceremony but arrives just in time to see a ghost from his past, the woman he has always loved but lost her when he wanted to pursue his career.

As they start to see each other it is becoming difficult to keep the secret of the past, will Kyle forgive Celia for the betrayal, or will Kyle understand why she kept it from him for so long.
I really enjoyed this book and the way the author weaved the story with such ease and brilliance that you feel your invested in these characters from the first word. I loved Celia’s character and the understanding that she let the person she loved go because she knew he would give everything up for her if her discover her secret was heart-breaking and pure selfishness but also suffered eternal gut of not letting her daughter have a relationship with her father.
The relationship between the main characters was brilliant and the chemistry rose off the page with each word, with the interaction of the secondary characters making this a face paced, can’t put down read. This is not the first book I have read by this author and will definitely will not be the last.

I love sports romance books and this book was definitely hard to put down….I LOVED this story and I totally devoured every page. This story has everything that I love in a romance….second chances, emotions running high, endearing moments, hot spicy moments and secrets that you can live to regret.
Celia and Kyle had a summer love that was to last a lifetime years ago, but when circumstances change the course of their life path, it only ended up in heartbreak and things that are said that are unimaginable and hurtful. Years later, both Celia and Kyle reconnect at a mutual friends wedding… lots of initial emotions with hot and heavy moments lead to the spark that Celia and Kyle always had for each other….but what happens when Celia needs to come to terms with telling Kyle the truth on a secret that she has hidden for the past 8 years? Will Kyle be able to move past the hurt and secrets that Celia has?
This was a fantastic book and I already looking forward to the next book in this series. Highly recommended read!

This is a romance of a different kind. Celia has a young daughter and her father Kyle has no clue. Knowing time was running out Celia had to come clean. Telling Kyle will be the hardest thing she has ever had to face. Next to breaking up with him. But she had her reasons and I understand them all too well. Kyle is a baseball player who has lost his first and only love. Eight years later both Kyle and Celia are face to face for the first time. Celia and Kyle may love each other in their hearts, but will Celia’s secret separate them?
What a strong independent female character Celia is. Kyle too is so strong in his convictions. This author has brought romance out in this story. Her wording is enough to keep you reading. I was caught up in this story before I ended the first chapter. I enjoyed this story and look forward to the next in this series.

This was a good start to a new series! Fast paced but we get a lot of needed info of backstory on both main characters without it feeling rushed or that anything is left out either.
I love a good second chance romance and this has a twist to it also that is one I like also.
Celia has a great support system in her sister and best friends and when life decides to throw a huge curve ball her way she’s going to need them more than ever.
I did enjoy these 2, Kyle and Celia, they had great chemistry but they just went from 0-100 in a couple pages and while I know it is fiction it was super quick for me (thats just me though)
Great story and cannot wait to read more of this great group of people.

Walk Off
By: Bree Kraemer
This is the first book in the Ground Rule Series and I absolutely loved it. This is a second chance romance that is well written with great characters. Celia and Kyle share a past together. This past is filled with lies, passion, half truths and hurt. When Celia broke up with Kyle 8 years ago she broke his heart, but truthfully she also broke her own. They both moved on but yet they still found they had a special place in their hearts for each other. They run into each other at a mutual friends wedding and they begin to rekindle their feelings for one another. Kyle is a forgiving man. But 8 years ago Celia chose his future for him.
I truly loved reading this story that was filled with characters with so much baggage and pain. I definitely found myself rooting for them. I didn’t want to put this book down and found myself staying up really late to finish it. I love that it is a series because I know that there is more fantastic characters and great writing in my future. Definitely pick this one up for a fun read.
