The Strike Out

By: Meghan Quinn

Narrated by: Connor Crais, Mackenzie Cartwright

It started with one night out with the boys. She was the hot diner waitress putting herself through school. I was the rich, arrogant player everyone misjudges. On paper, we didn’t match. Yet all it took was one day. One single day to change her mind.

She wasn’t planning to spend her day off with me. She wasn’t supposed to fall for my charm. But one day, one smile, turned into several nights of her calling out my name.

I’m not the guy she should end up with. I’m jealous, possessive. Not here for a long time - just a good time. She’s changed me. But, for some reason, I feel her slipping through my fingers, and no matter what I do, I fear I’m going to strike out with the one and only girl I’ve ever fallen for.

Opposites Attract Romance

Just when you think "this is a sweet opposites attract, insta-love romance" BAM Meghan hits you with the twist and it just keeps coming.
Holt is the rich boy with the full ride scholarship to play baseball (plus he's hot).
Harmony is the hard working girl with a partial scholarship and a crappy job forced to deal with the hungover athletes.
On paper it shouldn't work. The snarky girl and the clean cut boy. What's not to love?
Standalone with no cliffhangers.

Quite Enjoyable!

I really enjoyed this story! It was light hearted at times, it was serious at times. Touched on mental health and serious relationship topics.

And there is a line towards the end where she jabs at herself in relation to Knox and Emery’s book which made me laugh

This beautiful story was narrated by Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright. I love both of them. Separately and together.

Entertaining, fun and emotional

This was the first book to go on my best reads of 2021 so I was excited to see how it’s sounded on audible and wow what a great job Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright did bringing the characters and their story to life.

Omg this book has all the feels you want in a great read, it has characters you can’t help falling in love with and I fell hook, line and sinker for Holt and Harmony. This story takes us back to the baseball boys of Brentwood and as always these boys have an entertaining tale to tell....
Holt Green is easy to fall for, he is swoon worthy, witty and underneath the bad boys facade he has a heart of gold, he cares and protects the people in his life but will Harmony allow him inside her world.
Holt and Harmony come from different worlds but that doesn’t stop Holt wanting the girl he has only met once because he knows deep down she could be the one and he needs to get to know her better.....
A chance meeting turns into a friendship and then into love, the chemistry is sizzling and the banter is witty and flows so naturally . I laughed, I sighed, I swooned and I cried because The Strike Out is Ms Quinn at her best and I highly recommend The Strike Out

The Strike Out

"When you have faith in yourself and the people you surround yourself with, then it's easy to be optimistic."

Holt and Harmony meet at the local dinner at the end of summer break and their first meeting does not go very well since Harmony does not like jocks. Holt becomes intrigued as to why Harmony does not like athletes and makes it his mission to figure her out.

I loved the playfully witty banter between Holt and Harmony and their connection and chemistry is steamy. Holt is not your typical rich, entitled athlete, he definitely had many layers to him. Harmony is hard-working, goal-oriented, and knows what she wants. I enjoyed the somewhat insta-love but also borderline slow burn combination and I am not a huge fan of slow-burn romances. There were some parts in the book where the mc's seemed a little too immature for their age.

Audio … Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright did a great job of bringing the characters and story to life. Their voices really complimented each other well.

Holt is one of my favourites!

I love, love Holt. He’s sweet, charming, sweet, funny and protective. This was my first dip into the Brentwood Boys series when the ebook was released and I was hooked. And the audio lived up to my dreams. It was even better second time around. Harmony was also wonderful. Strong, smart and not afraid of the future. These two were absolutely perfect.

Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright were perfect for Holt and Harmony. I always look forward to books they narrate together.
