The Perfect Catch

De: Meghan Quinn

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Vanessa Edwin

""Kiss me. Just this once ... please, Walker."

Those whispered words were my undoing....

As the most hated player in baseball, I had two options: either clean up my image, or pack my bags. Being traded wasn't an option which only meant one thing, I had to become compliant.

That's how I found myself sharing a small bistro table with Kate Chapman, the Chicago Bobbies newest PR Manager. Devastatingly beautiful, vastly intelligent, and incredibly cunning, she knows exactly how to handle my grumpy demeanor.

It was supposed to be simple. Book some PR events, show up, smile for the camera, and be done. But one massive mistake on my end sends me into the trenches with Kate, forcing me to open up to her.

Innocent glances turn into cordial encounters.

Secret touches turn into tempting invitations.

And dangerous nights alone turn into consuming desperation.

I’ve never wanted a woman as much as I want her. And I know she wants me, but there’s a no fraternizing with the players rule. Neither of us can afford to lose our jobs, but we also can't seem to keep our hands off each other, either.

The perfect catch

The story was great…especially all the great foreplay sex scenes. Narration was awesome as they pulled me right into their web of tangled ties.

I still feel this one in my heart! What a beautiful story!

Wow, the pull of this one. This took the forbidden, we can’t be together, push and pull to the next level. There was so much steam before anything real happened. The pull Kate and Walker had for each other was palpable. The want. Phew. It wasn’t written as lust, it was true deep feelings. It was so easy to see the connection between these two. It felt so real. As much as they wanted to be together, I am glad they both stuck to their commitments and to their own goals. They knew it was important to be happy for themselves as well as in a partnership. I loved the maturity of Walker and Kate in this sense. It’s more real life.

This whole story was done in a beautful, heartbreaking fashion. I loved the way they found their way to each other initially and late in the story. Walker and Kate’s love story was really a great one. I loved this one so much.

Not specific to this book, but to her entire Brentwood/Towel Birgade. I have really enjoyed these stories and my time in this world. The characters being part of multiple stories was such a great way to further get to know them, and to stay connected after you already knew and loved them. I am so happy I read these books.

I love Jason Clarke’s narration. I love him the most when he is the surly, crabby, standoffish, jerk of a guy. He does that so well, and then contrast to his kind and passionate voice is just perfection. This is the first book I ever noticed his breath, and it added so much to Walker’s character. I loved that extra layer to his narration. Vanessa Edwin has such a beautiful feminine voice. It’s crisp and smooth. She also has so much depth and feeling. They balanced each other so well in this story. Meghan’s books are always so great in audio!

Another great baseball romance with depth

Meghan Quinn has done it again. I absolutely loved her latest baseball romance - The Perfect Catch. She made me fall in love with 'the most hated man in baseball' right along with our female lead.

Walker, our male lead, has a huge chip on his shoulder and a giant PR problem. In comes Kate to help save the day. But as she tries to make the man just a little bit more likeable, what she finds is that he is a man that is quiet, reserved, and grossly misunderstood. But relationships between the team staff and the players is decidedly off-limits.

What did I love about this book so much? Kate and Walker are such well-written, well-developed characters. They're flawed, their not perfect, but they are perfect for each other. They fight so hard to play by the rules, but at the end of the day, their connection is what they both need to feel like they have a complete life. The complexities of their working relationship, of Walker's relationship with his teammates, of the years of hurt and reserve that Walker needs to work past - they all add so much to the story.

The audio narration by Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin is fantastic. They both bring so much emotion to their portrayals, and Jason has a perfect level of growl to really bring out the surliness, the reserve, the broken pieces of Walker.

Good story but they need to switch the voices.

Great story and the sex was good but the voices not switching was weird. Other than that I enjoyed it. Definitely disagree about being obsessed with shower sex.

A delicious slow burn sports rom-com

I loved Kate and Walker! They are most definetly the perfect match for each other and are my favourite couple from Meghan Quinn’s Brentwood Baseball Series. There is so much depth to these characters. They are both so passionate about their careers. Walker comes across as grumpy and rough around the edges at first but when he opens up his heart and Kate slowly breaks down the walls he has built up I fell hard and fast for him. He has a huge heart and deserved to find what he did with Kate. Kate is the PR Manager for the Chicago Bobbies and Walker plays for the team, as their Catcher. Due to a no fraternization policy a relationship between the two is completely off limits but the more and more time they spend time together professionally it gets harder and harder for them to ignore the attraction and deep connection they share. This was such a delicious slow burn. The push and pull was torturous at times but SO worth it in the end. Meghan Quinn is a master of writing funny, sweet and steamy romance and I devoured every word! Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin were fabulous telling this story together! Jason Clarke plays Walker perfectly with his sexy, growly voice, and Vanessa Edwin did an amazing job as well. The passion and emotion in her performance was incredible.
