About Three and Out :

Piper was dead to him. The minute she walked out the door on Mason, he was done. D.O.N.E. Now, three months later, he’s still trying to act like he doesn’t care. Like his heart hasn’t been torn into shreds and obliterated beyond recognition. But it’s not working. He’s broken and beyond repair. Then Piper goes missing. Mason tries to show the world he doesn’t care, but his world is flipped upside down. A vulnerable Mason finds help in an unexpected place and it’s an offer he can’t refuse. The knot that has been gripping Mason’s heart slowly starts to unravel and he’s starting to look into his future… Three and Out runs through the lives of Mason and his friends while they struggle to find love and keep it in their hectic, crazy, drama twisted lives. Not everyone is meant to be and not everyone who you think should be together, will end up together in the final installment of the Love and Sports series.

Excerpt:

"Woah, careful there." "Damn, wet floor. Like mopping is going to make it any better looking." Jax's ears perked up at hearing a familiar voice. He lifted them both up so they were standing. The woman was brushing off her navy blue, hip-hugging skirt, so he couldn't tell who it was, but when she looked up, Jax instantly knew why he recognized the woman's voice. "Brooke?" Her eyes widened, and then recognition fell over her features. "Jax. Wow, never thought I would ever cross paths with you again. How's it going?" "Alright, and yourself?" As Brooke talked about her new clothing line and her little apartment in downtown Denver, Jax took her all in. Her hair was short now, just below chin length, and styled to frame her face. Her body was the same rocking figure he remembered from when he met her at the bar, that awkward night his boys and Jake Taylor all hung out before a pre-season game, and for some reason, her eyes were brighter than he remembered, as if she was breathing a new life.    

So we finally know who gets their happily ever afters and with whom. Meghan does a great job of pulling all the stories full circle. She ties up all the lose ends and makes sure she has covered everything. Some of the things I loved the most were Mason's lesson, Jesse's zoo trip, and the banter between the boys. I found myself getting irritated that everyone jumps to conclusions so fast, but for most of them relationships were new.. So it kind of made sense. The only thing that really drove me insane was Hannah. Knowing what happened to Todd, I got it, but man her insecurities were driving me batty. Though in some way, all our characters were insecure about something in some way as they're all working to get past it. 

I give this book 3.5 hearts 

Have a look at Book 1 and 2 of the Love and Sports series.

  Double Coverage (Love and Sports, #2) Unfortunate inconvenience, that is the way Piper describes her encounter with Mason Dashel. From the minute the alpha male interrupts her morning after hangover on the airplane, she can’t stand to be near the egotistical maniac with a booming voice and annoying sex appeal.

Psychotic Una-bomber with the constant mensies is the way Mason describes his flying companion, Piper Shores.

The two are like oil and water, a science experiment ready to explode any second but they can’t help but be drawn to each other. The only problem is… there are other people they are involved with who not only prevent Mason and Piper from being together, but interrupt any chance they have at making a relationship work.

About Meghan Quinn:

When I was in high school I occasionally read books but was consumed by other teenage things so I didn’t take the time to appreciate a good book on a cloudy day, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch, besides “The Notebook” I made time to read the heartbreaking novel. It wasn’t until I received a Kindle for Christmas one year that my world completely flipped upside down. When looking for books, I came across the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and I haven’t turned back since. You can either find my head buried in my Kindle, listening to inspiring heart ripping music or typing away on the computer twisting and turning the lives of my characters while driving my readers crazy with anticipation. I am currently residing in beautiful Colorado Springs where the sun is always shining and there is a trail waiting to be hiked on every corner. I share a lovely and warm home with the love of my life and my five, four-legged children.
