Read (or listen to) this!

Neither of us are typically sports romance readers. With that said, we LOVE this series! And, we anxiously await book 3! Thank you so much to @authorpiperrayne and #hambrightPR for allowing us the opportunity to review the ALC &ARC! If you are an audio book person, this Audio is fantastic, with duet narration (and more). Check it out April 2!

... Read moreAs someone who usually doesn’t gravitate toward sports romance novels, I was instantly drawn into The Wild Card by Piper Rayne. The blend of heartfelt storytelling with light-hearted banter truly makes it stand out in the genre. The plot centers around a surprising accidental pregnancy following a one-night stand, a trope the authors handle with sensitivity and emotional depth, making it feel fresh and relatable. What really heightens the experience is the audiobook version, which I personally found captivating due to its duet narration. Having two narrators brings the characters to life, adding unique nuances to their personalities and emotions that can sometimes be lost in single-voice audiobooks. I found myself completely immersed, whether commuting or relaxing at home. Fans of sports romance will appreciate the authentic baseball backdrop featuring the Chicago Colts, which enhances the story’s immersive quality. Themes like enemies-to-lovers and found family provide rich layers to the characters’ journeys, making the romance feel earned rather than rushed. The Wild Card is also notable for its humor, which balances the high stakes and emotional drama perfectly. I can’t wait for the third book in this Dugout series, as Piper Rayne continues to deliver engaging plots paired with memorable characters. If you're looking for a sports romance that combines emotional depth, humor, and excellent narration, this is a fantastic pick. Mark your calendar for April 2 to grab the audiobook or ALC – you won't regret it.
