As with the previous book in the Dominating the Diamond series, I absolutely 100% adored Outfield Assist!!! It takes a step back from in season baseball games and follows Kitt as he trains in during the off season with Jules (the new bubbly coach) and Gideon (the traumatized former olympic swimmer). I loved all three of them so dearly. They all had their own character arcs and the story never felt bogged down by having three. I would die for all of them!! Kitt is the first biromantic character I've ever read; all the representation is handled with so much care. 

I will never see weightlifting the same after this 🥵 Cat Giraldo writes some of the hottest smut I've ever read and really captures the emotional high during the act so well. Jules, Gideon, and Kitt are probably my favorite triad. Each of their relationships had time to develop on its own while also fitting into the triad's relationship so well. The dynamics just worked so well that I needed them to get together more than air. Gah, I just freaking loved them!!!! 

Read this if you like sports romance, queer polyamorous romance, dom/sub dynamics and kink explorations, and learning to fall back in love with sports.
