The heroine: Kinsley – she has worked at a local pet rescue since high school, though she doesn’t make much so has lived at home. When an opportunity arises for her dream job at a shelter in Chicago, she wants to take it immediately but won’t have the money to move into a place of her own for a while. So, when her best friend since childhood, Maddox Page says she can stay at his place, she jumps at the chance.
The Hero: Maddox – he is a professional baseball player, an all-star Pitcher, who plays for the Chicago Rebels. His team won the world series last year and he is known as the bad boy of the team. He is single and loves his life. He has a roster of girls he can call to relieve stress and get rid of the excess adrenaline after a game. Though he never brings any of them to his apartment because he doesn’t want them to know where he lives.
The Story: Maddox grew up in a tough situation with an abusive father, so he spent a lot of time at Kinsley’s house when they were young. Since he was drafted into professional baseball, they made a pact to talk to each other at least once a month and have kept that pact for the most part. When Kinsley needed a place to stay in Chicago, he immediately offered her a place to stay without thinking it through. Though he thought it might be a big mistake.
I generally don’t enjoy the friends to lovers trope, because I really dislike when the two main characters already know each other so well. I like the beginning stages of a relationship, the first meeting and getting to know each other while the attraction is flourishing. Though I have really enjoyed Meghan Quinn sports romances lately so when this audiobook was on sale, I scooped it up. Though I found it a bit boring at times.
This audiobook was told in two points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Kelsey Navarro-Foster and Connor Crais. I like both of these narrators quite well. Kelsey has a feminine, yet intelligent sounding voice and Connor has a soft, deep and sexy voice. Although I do wish Meghan Quinn started having her books done in duet narration a bit earlier because both of these narrators don’t have great voices for the opposite sex. This would have been a lot better in duet.
