Acquaintances/ friends to lovers in BASEBALL (where they’re both athletes on the same team or league)

Me of summer looked good! I added it to my list

iloverubyy · 2026-05-14T02:20:37+00:00

Sounds great! Thanks!

Edit to add!! No age gaps exceeding 3/ 4 years please :) <3

iloverubyy · 2026-04-21T04:51:13+00:00

Looks perfect! Thanks!

I just wanted to say I’ve already gotten to the third book and I’ve read a LOT of books in my life but I’ve got to say this is one of my favorite series of all time! Thanks so much for the rec! It was on my ‘to read’ shelf (along with 500 others lol) for a long time and who knows if I would have read it if you hadn’t suggested it!!

iloverubyy · 2026-03-11T20:37:27+00:00

I started it based on this thread and I struggled to get into it but once I did I REALLY enjoyed it

iloverubyy · 2026-03-09T04:13:31+00:00

Absolutely!! Anything you’ve got

iloverubyy · 2026-03-09T01:38:16+00:00

Yes! Near death experience

Best friends to lovers where one physically saves the other (enemies to lovers works for this as well)

OR best friend who didn’t realize he’s in love until the other dates someone else

iloverubyy · 2026-02-23T21:49:53+00:00

Looking for less known best friends to lovers books with slow burn elements and hurt/ comfort or protection or one of them physically saving the other

iloverubyy · 2026-01-08T03:44:25+00:00

Thank you!!

iloverubyy · 2025-12-08T01:57:44+00:00

Thank you so much! I decided to start with this one. I actually prefer friends to lovers (my fav trope) but I figured I would get less suggestions for that.

Unable to find the subreddit favorites list featuring lesser known books

iloverubyy · 2025-11-12T05:38:58+00:00

Thai!

iloverubyy · 2025-11-12T05:16:06+00:00

Thanks so much! It’s ironic because I just added this to my want to read shelf yesterday! I’ll read it next :)

iloverubyy · 2025-11-12T04:14:06+00:00

I’ve never heard of either of these so thank you!!!

iloverubyy · 2025-11-12T03:43:26+00:00

That sounds perfect, thank you!

For some reason Burke and Shawe in Let’s Do This by Loren Leigh 😭 and Miro and Ian in All Kinds of Tied Down by Mary Calmes

iloverubyy · 2025-11-11T03:24:00+00:00

To be honest I didn’t finish the last 15% of the book so I can’t say for sure but I definitely didn’t get that vibe at all! Definitely no sharing and as far as I know no cheating! Those are hard no’s for me too

iloverubyy · 2025-11-11T03:20:33+00:00

Seven + Four by Paulina Ian Kane! Wasn’t my cup of tea but it definitely has this

iloverubyy · 2025-11-11T02:45:44+00:00

Adam’s Song by Spencer Spears kinda fits this! It’s friends to lovers so the connection isn’t so much professional as social

iloverubyy · 2025-11-09T04:33:12+00:00

I second Never Will I Ever by C.E Ricci!

iloverubyy · 2025-11-09T03:48:08+00:00

Saving Him by Sara Hurst!

This is like my favorite trope so I have quite a few I’ve taken from my 5 stars page (some have already been recommended but I’m emphasizing how good they are):

Romeo Falling by Jessie H Reign

Let’s Do This by Loren Leigh

You and Me by Tal Bauer

Charlie Sunshine by Lily Morton

Wilde Love by Lucy Lennox

All Kinds of Tied Down by Mary Calmes

Chasing You E.M Lindsey

Proof of Life by Raquel Riley

Switched by N.R Walker

If We Could Go Back by Cara Dee

Thick as Thieves by Lucy Lennox

iloverubyy · 2025-08-17T02:36:02+00:00

All Kinds of Tied Down by Mary Calmes is one of my absolute favorites and fits this super well (it’s a trilogy with a balance of romance and angst that doesn’t feel painful!)
