Funny, sexy and sweet... a romantic homerun!

If you are looking for a quick, easy, sexy and sweet sports themed romance, this is it! Jessica and Jay's story is funny and charming but also reflects some of the insecurities of young love and past heartaches. I particularly enjoyed Jessica's somewhat cheeky inner goddess, who can be vocal at inappropriate times. Despite being short, Rachelle Ayala has managed to incorporate twists in the plot. The story also includes some subtle Korean cultural nuances which adds depth to the characters. Overall, an easy to listen to and enjoyable audiobook!

Fun Listen!

Rachelle Ayala brought cultures and relationships together in Playing the Rookie. There is not as much baseball in this book as I'd anticipated. This book is a fun listen due to the outstanding performance of the narrators. The team of Charley Ongel and Tor Thom is great in how they deliver the emotions and conversations and dialogue. They are wonderful bringing the characters to life.

Cute, Funny Read

This is a short funny, lighthearted sports romance. This maybe short, but it definitely packs a punch with how much it packs in.

Jay and Jessica definitely have plenty of chemistry which showed through Tor Thom and Charley Ongel's narration, who both did a great job bringing this story to life.

Sports romance and so much more!

Fun! Fun! Fun! Rachelle Ayala is able to pack so much into her books, I don't even know where to start. This sports story introduces us to Jessica and Jay. Jessica is coming off a long term relationship and needs to get over her old boyfriend. This week of working away and seeing the baseball players in training is just the thing to help with that. Jay is an up and coming pitcher, who is attracted to her. This couple is hot from the start and so much more. In this short novella, we have blackmail, traditions, social climbing, craziness, dealing with the past, overcoming fears...I can go on..so much entrenched into a very well developed plot and story that it is easy to get lost in it and enjoy yourself! I love this book and look forward to the next installment of the series.

Picking the narrating team of Tor Thom and Charley Ongel was an excellent decision for this duet. The two together have a rhythm that paces the book perfectly. They play off of each other with precision, yet make the conversations between the characters feel natural.
