Strike Three, You're Mine

All's Fair in Love and Sports Series, Book 4

De: Julie L. Spencer

Narrado por: Abigail Carson

Amberlyn didn’t realize her boyfriend was spending more time with her best friend than with her. Betrayed and publicly humiliated, she needed a box of tissues and a shoulder to cry on.

Aiden was happy to supply them. Having a crush on Amberlyn for years, he was secretly glad her boyfriend had dumped her. He may even have participated in the events that caused the breakup. But he couldn’t focus on that when he needed to train for the upcoming baseball season.

With Amberlyn still crying over her ex-boyfriend, scouts vying for Aiden’s attention, and betrayals coming out of left field, they have so many strikes against them, they may never hit a home run.

Great story that ties in the others in the series

After Amberlyn's boyfriend dumps her in a very public way for her best friend, she's left trying to figure out her heart. Was she ever really in love?

Aiden's been watching from the sidelines for years, crushing on Amberlyn, but afraid he'd never get a chance with her.

Now their time has come. But can he convince her that he's right for her? You'll have to read to find out.

I did enjoy how the storylines from the first three books all were tied together in this one. But I also found it a bit unbelievable to have so many young people (seniors in high school) engaged at the end of the story.

There were also technical issues with the sound in a few places, so I would give the performance a 3.5, but rounded up to 4.

Enjoyed Story & Narration

Amberlyn the breakup and betrayal are hard for anyone especially when the two had been close to her. How it is handled was well done by her. Life was busy for Aiden, and wanted to be there for her, his future and choices were now. Love and forgiveness was well brought out, as well as a lasting love. The narration was great and drew one into the story. Well done and enjoyed.

Unrealistic

Where are the parents in this story? it's hard to cheer for Aiden's and Amberynn's rushed relationship.

Overlapping

I really enjoyed how this book starts off in the previous book and overlaps a bunch and we get more perspectives. A lot of on and off and "misunderstandings," but I really enjoyed it.

Fun, very enjoyable listen

This was a fun story! While it is about high schoolers, I was still able to relate to the characters. I thought the author did a good job of developing the characters and keeping the story real.

The narration was well done.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author and I'm voluntarily leaving this review.
