Publisher's summary

Breaking news: The bad boy of baseball, Maddox Paige, is totally and utterly whipped.

Okay, that might not be the headline in the newspaper this morning, but it's the reality of my current situation. It all started a month ago when I received a call from my best friend, Kinsley. She’d gotten a new job in Chicago and needed a place to stay. I've known the girl since I was five, so I figured there wouldn't be any harm in having her stay at my place for a while.

Ha! Total disaster.

Now instead of going out every night with my teammates, I'm couch surfing and sketching endless portraits of my best friend...but that's the least of my concerns. The disaster, you ask? I'm rapidly falling head-over-cleats in love with my best friend, my roommate, and my number one fan.

And she has no idea....

Fantastic story!!

Magnetic. Electrifying. Two opposites with an undeniable attraction that you won’t be able to put this book aside. The chemistry and banter between Kinsley & Maddox is angonizingly delicious. The perfect, take your breath away, best friend-to-lovers romance. Quinn delivers steamy chemistry with a whopping, emotional punch. Each story/series centers around the importance of strong friendships as well as strong romantic relationships, and I LOVE that particular theme!! Kelsey Navarro & Connor Crais do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions, attitude and personality.

Love this one!!

Love the story! Not a huge fan of the narration. Both male and female voices are lovely but don’t like them narrating each other. Otherwise love the story!

Love

I was laughing and crying and all the emotions all at once. I could feel everything.

LOVE THIS BOOK

My favorite book in this series!!! I love Maddox and Kinsley’s friendship and their pure love for each other. His friendship with the guys is a true testament to the man he is!

Heart wrenching romance

So, the prologue sets the tone for the book right off the bat. You are introduced to this ying/Yang couple and a glimpse of demise….. then the story begins. I just love this couple. His insecurities start to weigh pretty heavily about 1/3 in and they just get heavier and heavier. 2/3 of the way through I was clutching my chest and so upset: gutted. The guys friends kicked his butt until he got his crap together and went after his life. This book is going on my favorites.

Best Brentwood book yet

This is my favorite book in the series so far. The effects of childhood trauma, the friendship, love, steamy scenes and laughter. It’s all here.

Maddox is a keeper…

Kinsley is … not. I have to agree with other reviewers, when they write about Kinsley’s irritating character. I could put up with a lot of what she did, which was rude IMO, but she just got on my nerves towards the end. For someone who is all “love makes the world go round”, she can hold a grudge like no other.

Male narrators impersonation of Kinsley didn’t help my irritation with her character either.

Overall I liked Maddox’s character and I liked his developing friendships with Cory, Jason and Lincoln. I just wish Kinsley’s mom had been successful in breaking up their friendship when they were younger… 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fav character in the baseball series!

I absolutely loved the inner dialogue of the male protagonist. Dream guy. I thought she was a cross of Pollyanna and Phoebe from Friends but she was endearing.

The Change Up

I have to say that I was ready to bawl my eyes out with the way Maddox, the male lead, treated Kenzlie throughout this book. He worshipped her. Then my heart was broken for her when he turned on her and out of the blue treated her like she was nothing to him.

This was a really great storyline, but has twist and turns that will keep you on your toes. The characters are strong, yet have past that come back to haunt them.

I wish that narrators would read all female or male parts as to their natural voices and not try to be something they are not. It takes away from the actual story when they do so.

I push through because the characters and storyline are so great.

Worth the read

This one is worth the listen. Didn’t think it would be worth it with all the negative reviews about the females Character voice. It’s not bad at all. At time it can be rough but worth finishing the series
