A Complete Game – by Aven Ellis


The blurb: 

A professional baseball player who needs to find himself—on and off the mound. 

A heroine passionate about animals—but not the life she’s living.

And two ferrets who spark a romance that will change everything for Brady and Addison …

Addison Blakely should be happy. After all, so many items on her life list had checkmarks by them: self-sufficient and living on her own, enjoying life in DC with fantastic friends, happily single, and working at a professional job.

So why isn’t she?

Addison knew life wasn’t going to be like the Regency romances she devours. The pages of her own book weren’t going to be filled with a dashing hero and a gorgeous romance. Nor would she be living the life she wanted by the last page. That wasn’t reality.

Or so she thought.

Addison’s life changes when a celebrity photoshoot with the Washington Soaring Eagles baseball team brings Brady Jensen into her life. Addison is drawn to the gorgeous pitcher with a crooked smile and a soft spot for the underdog. The more Addison learns about Brady, the more she begins to believe she can rewrite her own story.

When Brady and Addison are both faced by the challenges of living an authentic life and accepting their own truths, will this relationship end without a happily ever after? Or will Brady and Addison’s love make it all nine innings?

If you like emotionally intelligent heroes, animal shenanigans, and romantic gestures worthy of a swoony Regency novel, you’ll want to escape into A Complete Game. Can be read as a standalone.


My Opinion:

*Book provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*

We are finally back with the Soaring Eagles in Washington DC. 

Addison loves Regency romances and animals, she would love to work with animals, she is not quite there yet though. Her family has wanted something else for her all her life and her sister Ari is the big star, not easy. She feels at home in DC now though and has found great friends. One of them being Hayley, who is married to Brody Jensen. 

Addison meets Brady, his twin, who got traded to the Soaring Eagles, at a photoshoot, where she can bring her ferrets. 
Brady is gorgeous and they hot it off immediately, with deep conversations and meaningful dates. Brady, doesnt like playing with his twin and struggles a lot with his games. 

Both of them are going through things (Addison with her family and looking for a dream job and Brady with his game and being around Brody)
and they are there for each other, but that also meaning tell each other the truth, which leads to some conflict and misunderstandings. This makes the storyline very interesting and intense. I love reading about their relationship and how it developed. Aven Ellis really captured all the feelings and emotions. I felt very close to the characters and wanted everything to turn out well.

They share a deep bond and they make each other better, even with some ups and downs in between. The details in this story are incredible, I loved the setting as well. 

I adored catching up with the characters from previous books as well. They are a great bunch and I cant wait to see what the future holds. 


I have to say baseball is still a little mystery to me, so these parts of the story didnt interest me too much. I got into it a bit though and if youre a big baseball fan, you are going to love this story. 

Its the perfect story for this quarantine time, it will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Its romantic, passionate, funny, touching and very authentic! WONDERFUL!!!
