About this listen

The most anticipated J. Sterling release of the year is finally here! You’ve waited years to meet Jack Carter’s son, and the wait is over! Strap in and enjoy the ride.

Chance Carter is the son of local baseball legend Jack Carter. Now in his junior year at Fullton State, Chance is facing challenges he never saw coming. Failing a class will stop his draft season short, making him ineligible to play and pushing his goal of professional baseball even further away.

In steps Danika, a mouthy tutor from New York, who only wants to help him pass his class...not get in his pants. But try telling that to Chance. He doesn’t trust girls, and he definitely doesn’t trust his new tutor. A lifetime growing up as a Carter taught him that.

But Danika has issues of her own. After an incident that happened last year, she doesn’t trust athletes and wants nothing to do with them. And Chance is no exception.

The fireworks explode as the two try to deny the chemistry between them and family secrets are revealed. Chance doesn’t know how to give up on something he wants, and he’s decided he wants Danika. There’s just one problem...she has a boyfriend with whom she has no intention of breaking up.

How can he have her when she belongs to someone else?

What listeners say about Behind the Plate

Highly rated for:

The Audiobook Tells An Engaging And Heartwarming Story Revolving Around The World Of Professional Baseball. It Follows The Lives And Relationships Of Various Characters, Exploring Themes Of Family, Love, Self-discovery, And Overcoming Challenges. While The Overall Storyline And Character Development Are Praised, Some Listeners Found The Narration To Be Drawn-out And Certain Subplots Underdeveloped. The Romance Aspect Is Described As Captivating But With Occasional Steamy Scenes That May Not Appeal To All Listeners. Despite Some Criticisms, The Book's Strengths Lie In Its Great Storytelling, Heartwarming Characters, And Detailed Exploration Of The Baseball World And Personal Journeys.

cute story.

it was refreshing to hear the perspective of a guy who doesn't want all the attention he got from girls just for his fame. What was over the top was his reluctance in relationships yet he knew what he was doing romantically without the experience.

Good Continuation

While this is a stand alone in this series I do think I would have liked it even more had I read the Parents Series first but overall the references aren't too bad just my curious nature makes it that way for me personally. Overall it's a good story I do think there were some parts that just didn't get fully explained or were glossed over. Like Jared I feel like we kept getting built up for something but them it kinda fizzled and happened OP which considering it was a main part of the plot didn't make sense to me. Narration was ok there were a few parts where the "NY accent" was tried and just no but luchily its not done throughout the entire thing so overall it was a good listen.

"Accent" is horrible!!!

The story is great, but the random imitations of a NY accent is just horrible. Some words are SO exaggerated it literally made me cringe every time.

Great love story

Loved the story, there was a lot more language then I like and the romantic scenes were a little steamy, but their relationship was really cute, narrators did a great job.

Chance & Danika

A witty, charming, sweet, and heartwarming story of two people that certainly belonged together. Chance and Danika have a beautiful connection that tugs at your heartstrings. It was not all roses, they did have some bumps in their journey but they talked things out like adults. I absolutely adored this story.
Narration was great.
