The Wild Card

The Dugout, Book 2

De: Piper Rayne

Narrado por: Sean Masters, Erin Mallon, JF Harding, Teddy Hamilton, Connor Crais, CJ Bloom, Austin Stone, Meg Sylvan, Willa Jaymes

Getting pregnant after a one-night stand with my brother’s best friend was never part of the plan.

We’re talking about Foster Davis here. Chicago Colts closing pitcher. The broody king of one-word answers. And the man everyone knows keeps one foot out the door.

Surprisingly, when two pink lines turn my world upside down, Foster doesn’t run. He steps in, he shows up, and he insists we do this together.

Pretending we’re fine is easy. Pretending this is just about the baby? Not so much. Because Foster is gentle when no one’s watching. Because he looks at me like I’m something worth protecting. Because the walls he’s built start to crack—and I’m the one he’s letting inside.

Our arrangement was supposed to be simple. Boundaries were set. Co-parents and no catching feelings.

Okay, maybe a few sex lessons were added in too. Bad idea, I know.

Because the more time I spend with Foster Davis, the harder it is to remember why I ever thought he was the risky choice.

I couldn’t get enough!

That’s no surprise though since accidental pregnancy is one of my most favorite tropes! I loved Callie and Foster’s story. I can’t wait to get my hands on Decker’s story! The full cast did an amazing job!

Perfect narration, story had me hooked

Another great sports romance from piper rayne! Never disappoints. Leaves you with a great feeling. HEA and gets you hooked on wanting to know what happens for the next couple! Good spice! duet narration was perfect!

great story line

loved the story, but using the same voice for most male side characters was disturbing. example - the creepy landlord had the same voice as the sports agent. it made all of the men with that voice sound like the skeezy creep. other than that, loved it.

Callie & Foster

The Wild Card perfectly balances sweet and spicy. Callie & Foster’s chemistry is undeniable and quickly builds into a tension-filled slow burn that had me completely hooked. One moment you’re giggling over their banter, and the next you’re completely consumed by the intensity of their heated stares and almost kisses. Their relationship evolves beautifully—from a one-night stand, to friendship, and finally to a love that feels earned and enduring. They deliver all the heart, heat, and emotional depth I crave in a romance, and I felt every beat of their journey. I highly recommend reading or listening to not only this book, but the series!
The full cast of narrators is phenomenal! Erin Mallon, Sean Masters, Carly Robin, J. F. Harding, Willa Jaymes, Meg Slyvan, Teddy Hamilton, Connor Crais, & Austin Stone are fabulous narrators and voice artists. They do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions, attitude and personality. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. They are entertaining storytellers, and their captivating performance keeps you enthralled from beginning to end.
