About this listen

I have one rule: Never date a baseball player. But when I meet the sexiest single dad to ever play professional ball, that rule becomes impossible to obey.

It’s not easy being a woman working in a male dominated field. Add in the fact that my uncle owns the baseball team I work for, and proving I belong here is a constant battle. Dating a player was never an option. Not if I wanted to keep a shred of dignity and respect. Then Ronan Sinclair sits down next to me in first class with his alluring blue eyes and hard-to-resist dimples. To say nothing of his kindness and charm, or his determination to convince me that a steamy vacation fling is what we both need.

So, I give in to temptation, just this once. After all, he plays on the opposite side of the country, and he makes it clear he doesn’t want anything more than a few hot nights under the Hawaiian sun. We’ll leave this tropical paradise with nothing more than memories. Fate has a different plan, however. My vacation fling has just been traded to the Vancouver Tridents. My team. Now, Ronan is back in my life, making it clear he’s here not only to play ball…He’s here to convince me that some rules are meant to be broken.

Ronan is a professional baseball player who is dedicated to his precious daughter Peyton. When he is traded to the Vancouver Tridents the last person he expected to see again was Willow, a woman he met while on vacation, and that she works for the team as well.

Willow needs to prove that she is capable of her position with the team and can’t afford any instructions and that includes getting involved with one of the players. Unable to deny their feelings for each other they agree to keep their relationship quiet while they determine next steps however secrets have a way of coming out when you least expect it.

Our introduction to this series was a homerun for me. The romance between them was endearing, the banter was entertaining, and it still had all the feels. Connor Crais was the perfect fit for Ronan both when it comes to his role as a father and the romance he shared with Willow while Angelina Rocca portrayed both the insecurities and strength of Willow.

Ronan and Willow!

I haven't read many baseball romances, not because I don't like them but because they seem harder to come by than some other sports romance (namely football and hockey). That alone had me wanting to dive into this book, and then it only got better from there.

The FMC, Willow, is a powerhouse. She aims to earn everything herself without any handouts, wanting to be able to claim her career as her own work with no outside influence. This makes her stubborn, but also endearing, especially with her no dating baseball players' rule and the source of said rule. She is a boss B, for sure, but is missing something she didn't truly realize she needed.

The MMC, Ronan, is that thing. Ugh, this man. I can not say enough how much this man would steal so many hearts if he was real. His immediate reaction to any boundaries, how much of a gentleman he is in every situation, and even how both of those things can somehow go out the window when his feelings get in the way. His support of Willow, how he speaks to her about her, and how defensive and protective he is makes him an absolute win. He's the perfect man to win Willow's stubborn heart, break through her barriers, and give her the love she deserves.

You put these two together and then add the single dad element, the absolutely sweet and heartwarming daughter, and this book hits a homerun for me. The challenges the characters face and all the side characters introduced will leave you wanting the rest of this series, too. I look forward to it!

I listened to this one on audiobook, and both narrators were a homerun. Angelina Rocca was a prefect match for Willow, her voice easily encompassing her strength and softness. Connor Crais's voice fit how I think Ronan would sound and complimented Angelina's really well, so the chapters flowed well with the perspective changes. I highly suggest giving it a listen if you decide to get this book!

Such a good book

I first read this in KU last year, and absolutely adored it, and the 2 also excellent books that have followed so far. Baseball Romances are my favourite of the Sports Romance genre, and woefully underrepresented, against the vast number of Hockey and Football options.
I loved Ronan & Willow's story when I read it last year, so I was thrilled to learn the series was coming to audio, and this has absolutely not disappointed.
Both Narrators do a fantastic job bringing the excellent writing to life. Connor Crais makes a particularly swoony Ronan, and softens his accent to sound convincingly Canadian.
I will definitely listen to this book again, and am very excited for the rest of the series to be turned into audiobooks, including the 2 books that are due for release this year. Both of which I'm sure will be just as enjoyable as the first 3 in the series!! ❤️⚾️❤️⚾️❤️

A fabulous baseball romance ⚾️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am an absolute sucker for a single dad romance, especially when their kiddo is a good part of the story.
I absolutely adored Ronan’s relationship with Peyton, he was such an incredible dad.
I really liked the chemistry between Ronan & Willow, the tension and angst was so hot. The banter and pull just made it so much hotter.
They are both great characters, who both work hard & play harder. Willow is such a strong independent woman, she is a total boss babe & also incredibly compassionate and caring.
Ronan is respectful, & an amazing dad, I love his relationship with his daughter and how important it is to him.
This was a super quick, easy read that had you feeling all the feels.
Connor Crais & Angelina Rocca did a fantastic job narrating this.

Sweet & Swoony

I loved how this story starts out, with both main characters entering into a vacation fling with no plans to reconnect. I've been on a single-parent kick lately and this one has been one of my favorites. Ronan and Willow have great chemistry, and the timing of this storyline flowed beautifully. Willow's connection to the team Ronan plays for added an additional layer that kept my interest peaked throughout and in combination with the talent of the narrators, I couldn't turn it off.

Connor Crais is an instant listen for me. The tone of his voice is so beautiful, it’s no hardship to listen for hours on end, just lost in the stories he reads. Angelina Rocca provides each character such dynamic personality. The smallest nuances in her voice are delivered with so much talent I find myself pausing just to appreciate her work.

I can’t wait to continue this series!!

Phenomenal duo!!
