Resumen del Editor

Charlie Braxton has it all: a wicked curveball, a beautiful wife, and the kind of money and attention that's attached to a professional baseball contract. Except his famous curveball comes with intense social anxiety, his wife is actually his soon-to-be ex-wife, and the money . . . Well, suffice it to say, he knows what it's like to be treated like an ATM. But at least he's better off than the new guy.

Relief pitcher Reid Giordano is struggling to maintain his sobriety—and his roster spot. The press, along with a heck of a lot of his new Oakland teammates, seem to think his best baseball days are behind him. Only Charlie Braxton gives him the benefit of the doubt—and a place to stay when Reid finds himself short on cash . . . and friends.

When their growing friendship turns into an unexpected attraction, and that ignites a romance, both Charlie and Reid must grapple with what it means to be more than teammates. And as their season winds down, they'll need to walk away . . . or go out there and give it everything they've got.

KD Casey rules

I greatly enjoyed Fire Season, both reading it and listening to it. KD Casey is always a rich pleasure, with romances that feel a bit more textured and lived-in. I liked both leads, liked them together, I related to the themes of addiction and sobriety and disappointment and getting up after a stumble and complicated but awesome friendships with exes and the stress and disorientation of living through fire disasters. I look forward to listening to all future Casey releases.

That said, while the narrator is generally strong and enjoyable, I am permanently scarred by the mispronunciation throughout of Marin (location). That was a mean thing to do to me.
