A professional baseball player and his heckler prove that true love is worth going to bat for in the next swoony romance by USA Today bestselling author Alicia Thompson.
Daphne Brink doesn’t follow baseball, but watching “America’s Snoozefest” certainly beats sitting at home in the days after she signs her divorce papers. After one too many ballpark beers, she heckles Carolina Battery player Chris Kepler, who quickly proves there might actually be a little crying in baseball. Horrified, Daphne reaches out to Chris on social media to apologize . . . but forgets to identify herself as his heckler in her message.
Chris doesn’t usually respond to random fans on social media, but he’s grieving and fragile after an emotionally turbulent few months. When a DM from “Duckie” catches his eye, he impulsively messages back. Duckie is sweet, funny, and seems to understand him in a way no one else does.
Daphne isn’t sure how much longer she can keep lying to Chris, especially as she starts working with the team in real life and their feelings for each other deepen. When he finds out the truth, will it be three strikes, she’s out?

Kristen Sieh bats it out of the park with this lively performance. It begins with Daphne heckling baseball player Chris at a game, making him cry, and then sending an apology through social media. They have a few conversations through an app, but Chris still doesn't know who she is or what she looks like. When Daphne begins a job working for his very team, she's torn between keeping up the facade or confessing. In this classic "liar-revealed" story, Sieh keeps it fresh with a hearty performance full of gusto. She builds a natural chemistry between both characters, and their authenticity will grab listeners. Above all, Sieh is a vibrant narrator, playfully delivering witty banter and heart-melting romance. G.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
