| Bridgeport Jetties The Call-Up Years Book 1 |
“I can’t afford to lose to Shane Michaels. When it comes to baseball or restraint.”
SHANE
This bro got invited to play with the big boys for Spring Training. Hell to the yes! I am so going to show the Jetties they need me on their Triple-A roster this year. Manifest.
Except the Jed Stone Jr. is back. Legend’s son. Permanent scowl. Stands in my way like a wall I’m supposed to climb.
One I really, really want to climb.
He may have stolen my position, but I refuse to be left behind. Not again. The problem? He’s hated me from the start. And I kinda want to prove him wrong. Now that it’s affecting our game, I have to. If I don’t, we both lose.
Call me crazy…but I have a plan I know I shouldn’t.
Time to climb some walls.
JED
I was moments from The Show when my arm blew out.
But I’m back. And this is my year. Quick stint in Triple-A, then I’m getting the call-up. Simple. Controlled. Focused.
Nothing is stopping me. Especially not perpetually smiling, cocky golden boys who think life is a walk in the park.
Shane Michaels is talented. The bane of my existence. And god-damned beautiful.
I shouldn’t want him. I definitely shouldn’t touch him.
Considering he’s straight, that shouldn’t be difficult—until I find out he isn’t.
If I lose control, I lose baseball. And baseball is all I have left.
But Shane might be the one thing I can’t control.
Stealing Forever is a spicy rival teammates-to-lovers MM baseball romance with a grumpy star and his sunshine rival, a soft dom/brat dynamic, superstition-fueled steamy time, found family, emotional hurt/comfort, and one bed that changes everything.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Shane is the embodiment of sunshine. Despite all the hardships he dealt with growing up, he does his best to maintain his happiness and outgoing personality. And an invite to Spring Training with his best friends is a dream come true. Time to prove himself. But it isn’t easy. Not when he shares the same position as legendary Jed Stone Jr. Standing there in his grumpiness. But that’s okay, because Shane will win him over…eventually. Jed had a great childhood growing up with just his dad. His best friend. The dream was playing together one day on the field. But that dream disappeared when Jed’s dad died in a car accident. Since then, Jed hasn’t had much reason to smile. He lost himself for a bit but when an injury really threatened his career, he did everything to get back on track. To keep control. He still worries about his arm, especially with the way he has been playing, but this is the year to prove himself. But then Shane walks in. And Jed knows he has to step up. He just never imagined that when they are forced to work together that it would lead to so much more. He never imagined that he would be…happy again. I loved these two! A great sunshine meets grump. These two have been through a lot in their lives and it’s so sweet for them to find one another and connect in so many unexpected ways. They were so good for one another. Balancing one another out and being there when things got really hard. I really loved getting to know them and watching them fall hard for one another. Looks like a great cast of characters and I can’t wait for more!
