The Athletic Groom

By: Lucy McConnell

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She needed a manager, not a husband.

But this season, her biggest win might be love.

When Harper Richmond inherits her late father’s pro baseball team, she expects to step into a legacy. Instead, she walks into a disaster: a locker room full of scandals, a budget in free fall, and no manager in sight.

Out of options and time, Harper turns to Pamela Jones and the Billionaire Marriage Brokers—not for romance, but for results. A business marriage might just save the team.

Isaac Wolfe wants another shot at the big leagues. He didn’t love being a husband the first time around, but for a chance to manage the Redrocks—and build a future for his son—he’s all in. What he didn’t count on? Harper. She’s sharp, capable, and has a soft spot for Isaac’s little boy that turns his world upside down.

The contract says one year.

The team needs a miracle.

And Isaac’s starting to wonder if walking away from this marriage will be the hardest play he’s ever called.

If you love grumpy-sunshine energy, secret softies in baseball caps, and women who know exactly what they’re doing, The Athletic Groom is a home-run romance you won’t want to miss.

Good story but computer voice detracts

Prefer human reading vs computer voice that mispronounces words and has no inflection and is monotone

The AI reading.

The story had promised, but the reading made it impossible to stay in the story. The intonation and sentences running into one another, made it very hard to follow the story. This will be my last AI read Audible book.
