Quit Your Pitchin'

There’s No Crying in Baseball, Book 2

By: Lani Lynn Vale

Narrated by: Mason Lloyd, Kendall Taylor

Length: 5 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

What's wrong with my butt? 

She means those words to be directed toward the woman beside her, not him. But he can't stop himself from answering. Not when her ass is the most magnificent thing he's seen in his life.  

Apparently, answering her with "not a damn thing" wasn't what she was expecting. She likely wasn't expecting the baseball she took to the face at his next at bat, either. 

All it takes is one ill-fated foul ball, and George Hoffman, Lumberjacks center fielder, falls head over heels in love with Wrigley Field - and yes, that is her real name. 

From that point forward, George and Wrigley fall into a fast whirlwind love that ends with them eloping to Vegas. And he has his potty-mouth, titty-bar-owning, pain-in-the-ass grandmother to thank for it. Not that he's complaining or anything. Who wouldn't want to be married to a woman that made his heart race like he was in the final game of the World Series? 

The only problem is trying to convince her of that. 

Contains mature themes.

Don't get sucked in to this series!

like I did. I usually enjoy Lani Lynn but this series is poorly edited. good premise as most of her other series but no follow through. Conflict for Conflicts sake with no follow through. explanation and ending wrap doesn't make sense. Don't waste a credit, you'll regret it.

Cute rom com..😂😂⭐⭐⭐

I am becoming a fan of Mason Lloyd. This one was fast paced, funny silly and didn't drag on. No angst...just a fun light listen with a really great male narrator.

Hard to get through and kind of annoying...

I'm a huge fan of Lani Lynn Vale, but this is probably her worst book... That doesn't mean that it was horrible or complete trash, but below average and not what I expected from her. Both main characters are stupid and immature. What bugged me the most though was how weak and gullible the female lead is. Those attributes are often seen in her characters but not to this extent and there is usually a revelation or a more obviously maturing and learning from past mistakes.

Obviously this is just my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt. Maybe it was because I was anticipating George's story since Pitch Please.

Break then rebuild my heart!

Twice I've read and thoroughly enjoyed everything Ms Vale has written (once per each series order and once per the suggested reading order).
This book really pulled my heart strings, made me cry and laugh out loud. The narrators were so good, I felt as tho I could envision everyone and everything in my mind.
Ms. Vale really knocked it out of the ballpark with this book... pun intended!

This felt like 2 different books

This truly felt like a tale of two different stories. I really enjoyed the first half. The second half went to hell. I didn’t agree with why they split up. Her sister was standing over their son’s bed with a gun and she gets mad at George for not wanting her sister around them. That makes no damn sense.

And I still don’t really get what was going on with George and the Melanie girl. He kissed her by accident, which I could understand. Then you hang out with her at a bar or some place after the game (this is never explained), then you are seen hanging with her and your son and she’s walking your dog at the park, then you are kissing her in Wrigley’s apartment. What the ever loving hell is going on. And George gets upset that Wrigley is upset. Excuse me but no.

I should have just stopped the book when Part 2 started. Then I would have been happy.

It’s alright. Not much baseball.

This story integrates well with the previous, though, I wish it were written differently. There’s not much baseball included with the story.

loved it

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! After listening to this story,. I totally enjoyed reading this book. It’s well written and the characters were uniquely fantastic. I would suggest this book to my friends that like this sort of genera. this was a good book. The auditor was great.

Quit Your Pitchin'

Love the book, but I will also say I'm not a fan of Wrigley that much, she can't make up her mind on what she wants, feel like she's yanking George's chains. But I can't stay mad at her for long, she realizes her mistakes, love the actor's portraiture of the characters and author Lani Lynn Vale made me very happy.

George & Wrigley

I’m going to start by saying that I have loved and enjoyed every one of Lani Lynn Vale’s books. This one was good, don’t get me wrong, but it seemed to be all over the place at times. George and Wrigley just could not get it together, then with the way the time jumped, I almost felt lost. But this story did hold my attention, therefore I go back to my original statement-this is a good story; about two people growing up and fighting to reconnect to find love again.
Mason Lloyd and Kendall Taylor did a wonderful job of bring this story to life.

Disappointing

It’s hard to believe coming from LLV but Once again not a good listen would hav returned but unfortunately can’t. Why would I return it you ask well the story starts out funny loving and a typical LLV but goes from happy to WTF happened in a year. (Trying not to give away story) I’m at chapter 16 and have fast forwarded thru a few. I will finish it just because I spent money on it but if I’d hav known then what I know now I wouldn’t buy it. I hav listened or read LLV sine 2014. I guess I will hav to start buying her books to see if I want to listen. Spend more but in the end satisfaction guaranteed. Mayb it’s your cup of tea wasn’t mine

Good book but....

I normally love books by Lani Lynn but if you have listened/read pitch please first then this book might leave you a little confused due to time lines because in the first book the main characters don't actually make their relationship known until after George's son has his accident but in this book they are already married before the accident and this left me focusing more on discrepancies between both books rather than the book itself but still OK if you can over look this
