The Perfect Game #2
Audiobook, Audible
Author: Samantha Christy
Narrators: Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber
Brady is the playboy of baseball. Too many cars, too many women, too much wasted money… That’s how he learned to cope with a horrible tragedy in his life. He’s the star pitcher for the New York Nighthawks and he’s playing THE perfect game… and he gets injured. And injury that could be career ending. He’s sent to the training facility in Tampa, where he’s getting top notch physical therapy. And his therapist, Rylee, is so very different from all the women he is used to.
While Rylee shows him the city, they become fast friends and soon it turns into more.
But Brady is emotionally unavailable and Rylee needs someone who will be able to accept her with everything that comes with her.
This is a very touching story and your heart will break with all that Brady has gone through. Although this can be read as a standalone, Caden and Murphy from book #1 have a strong presence in this one because Murphy has become Brady’s close friend too.
I loved it, but I don’t want to get into many details because anything I comment will be spoilerish. Heart-wrenchingly beautiful.
Narration: this is an interesting dual narration. The first half of the book is narrated by Zachary Webber, the second half by Erin Mallon, with Zachary returning for the epilogue (set 18 years in the future). This book proves why Zachary is my all time favorite narrator. An emotional performance that I confess Brough tears to my eyes in several moments. Erin is also perfect as Rylee and gives out an astounding performance too.
Highly recommend this book and I am off to read book #3 because I’m dying to know what the deal is with Sawyer!
