About this listen

""Kiss me. Just this once ... please, Walker."

Those whispered words were my undoing....

As the most hated player in baseball, I had two options: either clean up my image, or pack my bags. Being traded wasn't an option which only meant one thing, I had to become compliant.

That's how I found myself sharing a small bistro table with Kate Chapman, the Chicago Bobbies newest PR Manager. Devastatingly beautiful, vastly intelligent, and incredibly cunning, she knows exactly how to handle my grumpy demeanor.

It was supposed to be simple. Book some PR events, show up, smile for the camera, and be done. But one massive mistake on my end sends me into the trenches with Kate, forcing me to open up to her.

Innocent glances turn into cordial encounters.

Secret touches turn into tempting invitations.

And dangerous nights alone turn into consuming desperation.

I’ve never wanted a woman as much as I want her. And I know she wants me, but there’s a no fraternizing with the players rule. Neither of us can afford to lose our jobs, but we also can't seem to keep our hands off each other, either.

I really loved this book. The character development was really good and also the storyline. The chemistry between the leads was so good There was also a major plot twist that had my jaw hanging for like five minutes. This one is definitely going on my favourites list.

Narrators also did a stellar job bringing the characters to life

The Perfect Catch by Meghan Quinn is quite sexy. I'm pretty sure this needs an x-rating. Y'all are about to get Quinn at her naughtiest and her rarest! These two.... this forbidden romance might be a slowburn but it does not lack in the heat level. Besides this hotness that I have never experienced in a book before (no joke), Walker and Kate touch on some strong subjects. They aren't just sex. There's so much more to these two. They become so close, where no subject is off limits to the other. Quinn brought all the emotions and I didn't expect that. The heat level was so high that I wasn't sure they could reach the same level in emotion. They did. They talked to each other and reached a deeper level together. I loved the book. Walker might be my favorite Bobbie player and he's got some stiff competition.


The narration was brilliant. It was all breathy heat to match their x-rating. Vanessa Edwin is the BEST at being breathy and wanton. You could feel the need Kate had for Walker. Her man voice isn't my favorite but it isn't laughable and that's huge IMO. I really enjoy the narration during their conversations... they pauses are perfect and their voices inflict and sound like a normal conversation.  Jason Clarke kills Walker's personality. At first he comes off all crass and cold... just like Walker. Then I started to notice some changes in his voice. He was softer and kind. Then he's completely smitten and the transformation in him is noticeable. Clarke's bedroom voice is one that'll make women weak in the knees.

So much FIRE!! 🔥

Walker and Kate were all tension, angst, heat and yearning. The best parts of forbidden romance that had my body on edge from all the deliciousness. Walker starts out as a hot headed unlikeable guy. He is clearly holding a grudge and on a downward spiral. Kate is new to the Bobbies and determined to succeed at her new job which has her coordinating community event and promotional opportunities for the Bobbies. This puts Walker directly in her path and instead of bowing to his curmudgeony behavior she gives as good as he does and it starts to wake him up.

This story is a slow burn with delicious tension. They want each other, understand and respect the consequences of what fraternizing would mean for their careers, but just can't stay away. Holy hotness, the bedroom scenes had me panting and sweating and fanning myself with my kindle. Both Kate and Walker have dirty minds and dirty mouths and some really dirty texts.

One of the things I liked about this workplace romance is that the consequences for both Kate and Walker are equal. There is not an unequal distribution of power, even though he is a baseball player and she is office staff, they are both risking their jobs and they just can't resist.

I loved that these characters didn't make dumb decisions no predictable plot holes and there is towards the end that had me literally exclaiming "Holy plot twist Batman" in the middle of the night scaring my husband awake. I did NOT see it coming!! (good job Meghan!!)

This audio book is narrated by Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin and the casting was perfection. Jason Clarke was all sorts of growly grumpy deliciousness and Vanessa Edwin is a strong female lead who also does a great male voice.

5 outstanding stars from me this book was a home run, knocked it out of the park all the punny baseball puns you can think of.

I received an ARC and ALC of this book and voluntarily give my review.

All angsty yearny tension and fantastic narration!

Another great story by Meghan Quinn. Meghan writes in your face baseball hero's set in Chicago. What I like about Meghan hero's is not one is perfect. They are real like characters, each with a flaw , a chip on their shoulders. And the heroine attracted to them also is looking for something.
Both Walker and Kate have something to prove. They both are suffering past trauma . Walker with his sister, Kate because of her brother. Kate needs to help Walker out with his image, the Chicago baseball team is getting fed up with him. He tries to make it difficult for Kate. Little by Little they both , Walker and Kate let their feelings show , but they can’t cross that business line. Will they give into temptation, how will the team handle both of them

The performance of Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin was perfect. They did all the characters great, you can tell each characters by their tone. They brought you into Chicago for the story.

A perfect listen

This is Walker and Kate's story, the most hated baseball player and the team event coordinator having to help clean up his image, their chemistry is off the charts, they don't deny their attraction, but working together makes the forbidden romance much sweeter to read, all the tension and angst building from it, then comes their banter which is fantastic, I laughed a lot and the sexy talk is one that I really enjoyed in this book. The series is very good if you love sports romances. The audiobook is narrated by the talented Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin, you can't go wrong with Jason Clarke ever. He has a voice that will hook you from the start. They both did brilliant work, I suggest you get the audible version and enjoy this story.

Amazing banter, a hated player you will love
