Pitcher Perfect

A Novel

De: Tessa Bailey

Narrado por: Callie Dalton, Teddy Hamilton

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back with an all-new enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating sports romance about a playboy hockey rookie and the disciplined softball pitcher completely immune to his charms.

Boston Bearcats rookie Robbie Corrigan is living the dream. He’s made it to the NHL, his best friend/teammate and fellow “orgasm donor” is his roomie—and the women of Boston love them both. Life is sweet. That is, until he meets Skylar Paige, division 1 softball pitcher, girl least likely to take anyone’s bull…and the one member of the opposite sex immune to his charms. Robbie might be dazzled by the badass pitcher, but Skylar pegs him as a filthy player and wants nothing to do with him.

When he discovers she’s carrying a serious torch for her brother’s best friend, Robbie knows he should just go back to clubbing and whipped cream bikini parties, but he can’t seem to leave Skylar to flounder on her romantic quest to land another man. Nor can he miss out on the opportunity to spend time with her and hopefully redeem himself. Before Robbie knows it, he’s agreed to be Skylar’s fake boyfriend/love coach at an upcoming family wilderness competition where her crush will be in attendance. What could go wrong?

Through a series of contests that require them to trust each other, Robbie and Skylar grow closer and closer until their fake relationship starts to feel like the realest thing they’ve ever known and the sizzling lessons in sensuality burn out of control.

But it’s all just pretend…right?

Rom com with a splash of smut!

I loved the banter and romance. Just what I needed. Loved their bluntness and honest. Robbie’s personality reminded me so much of my husband back in our college days. Sex scenes were fun too!

Love this take on the organism donor duo

Amazing and love that the MFC is such an all star athlete and doesn’t back down

Realest, most emotionally intense love story I’ve read in months

I have been waiting for another great love story for months now. I read so much that sometimes I just take what I can find. This book was beautiful, real, had depth, was so sexy, and equally creative and fun. I love Robbie and Skylar. Red beard and Rocket. I know it will probably be months again because I come across another great love story… thanks TB, you knocked it out of the park on this one.

🥎Best of the Big Shots! 🥎

Tessa tops them all! Thank you for bringing us SKYLAR!
Softball 🥎 meets Hockey 🏒.
My life is complete!! I loved the competitive spirit in both major characters & their families.
Great read!

Banter, Spice and Lots of Laughs

This book delivered exactly what I wanted, a feel-good, spicy romance and the perfect palate cleanser. Tessa Bailey is my go-to when I need a quick, entertaining escape, and Pitcher Perfect hit the mark.

It’s the fourth book in the Big Shots series, but you can absolutely read it as a standalone (though you’ll spot a few familiar faces if you’ve read the others).

The story follows Boston Bearcats rookie Robbie Corrigan—a cocky NHL ladies’ man who proudly calls himself an “orgasm donor” (yes, you read that right). Enter Skyler Page, a Boston University softball pitcher who grew up “one of the guys” around her stepbrother and his friends. She’s been nursing a hopeless crush on her brother’s best friend, but when she crosses paths with Robbie, she asks him to teach her how to flirt and finally land her crush. Robbie’s solution? Fake date him during her family’s wild, over-the-top annual Olympics in the woods.

From there, it’s nonstop banter, tension, and laugh-out-loud moments. Skyler’s awkward charm pairs perfectly with Robbie’s protective side, and once sparks start flying… let’s just say things heat up fast. This might actually be one of the funniest Tessa Bailey books I’ve read yet.

Yes, it’s corny. Yes, it’s predictable. But it’s also super fun, spicy, and exactly the kind of quick romance you grab when you just want to smile (and maybe blush a little).

🔥 Spice: 4.5/5
⭐️ Overall: 4/5

If you’re looking for a lighthearted, flirty, and very steamy read, this one is worth picking up.
