Pitch Please

There’s No Crying in Baseball, Book 1

By: Lani Lynn Vale

Narrated by: Mason Lloyd, Kendall Taylor

Length: 6 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

Baseball is life - the rest is just details.  

Everyone who's played the game has heard those words a time or two. But Hancock has heard them his entire life from his parents. His family has lived and breathed baseball even before he started little league.  

Hancock "Parts" Peters has a name that inspires grins across many faces, but the moment those faces get their first look at him, those grins slide away.  

Hancock is gruff, filterless, and doesn't give a crap who he offends. He is the only man in baseball who doesn't care if he gets an endorsement or not. He's there to play the game. He's there to win. He's there because baseball is his life.  

People think he's a jerk. And maybe he is. But if that's how he has to come off to get people to leave him the hell alone so he can play in peace, so be it. The less people he has to worry about offending, the better.  

Contains mature themes.

Struggled a bit!

Lani Lynm is usually a go to when I just want to be entertained but, this story seemed disjointed with questionable editing. I finished the story, hoping against hope it would get better but, I felt though the primis of the story was good and had potential, it was not executed as well as I wished it would have been. Dialog was stilted and in places, inane. Better luck next time?

Great from beginning to end!

Hereee batter batter! This was my first time listening to an audiobook written by Vale and I am impressed. I purchased this book on a whim after browsing through romance novels. I am so glad that I did! The story of the heroine and hero captured my heart by making me laugh and smile. Pitch Please will be up for a second listen sometime later... because it was HOT!!! Yet warm and sweet at other moments. I loved the chemistry between the curvy sweetheart that Sway is and her man! Hancock is EVERYTHING! I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading and listening to more work from the author.

I am new to audible books and really enjoyed this. Absolutely loved this story. Hancock and Sway were so hot and the storyline was wonderful.

not for me.

I found this book very frustrating. I felt like the author didnt know where she wanted the plot to go. The story would hit an arc and then it was like cliffhanger in the middle of the book. Got the impression the author was trying to set up other books and if you wanted to know what happened you would have to read the spin off. Only reason I finished the book was because I thought the some of the conflicts would be resolved. I was wrong. i was left feeling very dissatisfied.

A favorite

I have listened to this story more times than I remember. It is a favorite. The narration is perfection. The voices are perfect for the story and the emotion expressed is perfect for the story. I always try to find these narrators doing other books too. There is drama and romantic angst enough to keep one’s interest and I adore the character interaction. Highly recommend this one. Enjoy. HEA, no cheating, no cliffhanger.

A good treat

I really enjoyed this book as and was smileing while I was reading it. Hancock was just so full of grumpy goodness and Sway was a spitfire of sass. The book was well written and paced nicely. The narrators were very easy to listen to. I did receive this book for free in exchange for an honest review but i have already gotten the second book.

Great! Detailed and a wonderful amount of baseball.

I searched for plus size romance and then searched for baseball just cuz… so pleased with this story! Lani Lynn Vale was wonderfully descriptive and made us feel like part of the team. Great read!

I love this book, this couple is funny and make me laugh a lot. There were some bumps in the beginning but they managed to keep it at bay and keep moving forward. I enjoyed listening to this audio, the actors were really great acting out what we as readers would assumed the characters sounds like, I'm a happy reader.

Hancock and Sway

Fun story. Sway and Hancock had a lot of chemistry. Who doesn't love a man who loves you for who you are- and not what you think you look like. His protectiveness and loving nature was amazing. I loved this story.
Mason Lloyd and Kendall Taylor did an amazing job of bringing this adorable story to life.

Amazing find!!!

I stubbled onto this book my mistake and I do NOT regret it.
The banter between the main characters are amazing, cute, funny and sexy.
The way he treats her is swoon worthy, I swear I need a man like him in my life.

Easy reading

Very fun easy reading book.
Some scenes were hard to follow as the timeline was not clear but mostly it was good.
