REVIEW ➞ Beyond the Team by Kaylee Ryan

BLURB

Griffin

All it takes is four days to change my carefully planned-out life. Four days to fall for Peyton Monroe. Four days to convince her to give me… us a chance.

Before her, baseball was the center of my world. Being the best. Getting a full-ride scholarship. Getting drafted. Going pro. But from the moment my frisbee lands at her feet on the beach, I can’t stop thinking about her.

She’s beautiful, funny, smart… and lives thirteen hours away. Long-distance love is a complication I should avoid, but staying away from Peyton is not an option. This goes beyond the team and my love of the game.

Peyton

I’m looking to get away, not searching for love. But it all but lands at my feet on spring break anyway. A beach full of hot guys, and of course I find myself falling for a handsome baseball player.

Griffin Anthony’s charming smile draws me in. We fall hard and fast, but when it’s time to say goodbye, he tries to convince me that we can make this work long distance.

Now I’m torn between following tradition and playing it safe or throwing out the rule book and following my heart across the miles. He wants me to trust our connection. Can I risk my heart?


Peyton Monroe just changed the game, and she doesn’t even know it.


ARC REVIEW

I adored Peyton and Griffin’s story. From the moment they met there was a spark. You could feel the connection between the two of them and it only blossomed as time went on.

Peyton and Griffin are prime examples of “when you know you know”. It didn’t matter that they lived in different states, that they were both young, or both student athletes. I loved that they always found time to talk and made time for each other.

I loved the sweetness, the innocent (but also the little bit of spice) and the Griffin swoon throughout this story. Griffin was easily accepted by Peyton’s sisters and their significant others and her parents. Plus, Peyton was easily accepted by Griffin’s parents. Both of them had so much love around them growing up and had great examples when it came to relationships.

I know they were secondary characters but I also loved Karina and Oliver. I loved the little glimpses we got of them throughout Peyton and Griffin’s story and even in the future.  Plus, there were both amazing friends and super supportive when it came to Peyton and Griffin’s relationship.

The bonus epilogue….my heart! It was absolutely beautiful and such a perfect way to end this series!

If you’re looking for an insta love, strangers to lovers, sports romance this is one to read.
