A bad play shouldn’t cause a media meltdown but I’m Kyle Bosco and I’m a competitive jerk. So of course I couldn’t just shut up. Now I must atone for my comments. Somehow that includes working at a daycare with seven year old Piper who thinks I’m her best friend. But Piper is not the one who has me tied up in knots. That job is reserved for Harper Wallace- her mother.
Harper is fierce, combative, and an irresistibly gorgeous single mom.
If hating me were a sport, she'd be MVP. For reasons I can't tell you, she's completely off limits so I obviously should stay away.
But hear me out?
I'm a competitive jerk. I’m not the guy that rides the bench. I’d rather go down swinging and foul out than not play at all.
Jenni Bara lives in New Jersey working as a paralegal in family law, writing real-life unhappily ever-afters every day. In turn, she spends her free time with anything that keeps her laughing, including life with four kids, or five, if you count her husband. She is just starting her career as a romance author writing books with a great balance of life, love, and laughter.
I love these books and this entire series. This is book 3 and it is fab.

Kyle Bosco didn't disappoint at the MMC in this book when he spotted Harper the FMC in the crowd with her kids at one of his games. The foul ball that nearly hit her son was the start of an almost enemies to lovers relationship that was very quickly dispelled when he realised he had more connections to her than just his own lust. Soon their lives are entwined and the known playground eyes for no one but her and wants more than anything to be a family with her and her kids. He just needs to confess a few omissions he's been holding back first...
I started off enjoying the story, but Kyle's character quickly became unbearable. His lack of empathy, gaslighting, and tendency to play the victim were frustrating. He came across as conceited, disrespectful, and selfish, showing no genuine remorse for his actions. I couldn’t connect with him at all, which ultimately made it hard to continue reading.
Additionally, I was disappointed by the protagonist's inability to stand up for herself, both with Kyle and Piper. While I understand her autism may complicate things, it was heartbreaking to see her treated poorly by her daughter. The dynamic left me feeling uncomfortable and irritated, making it difficult to imagine finishing the book. Perhaps that’s on me, but Kyle's character was a definite dealbreaker. 🚩🚩🚩
Kyle Bosco is the definition of “if he wanted to, he would” and I am so in love with him 😍

❓Kyle and Harper meet when she takes her kids to a Boston Revs game and she catches a foul ball that if Kyle would have caught, would’ve sent the Revs to the World Series. Kyle’s apologies turn into time spent together where he soon realizes that this mom and her two challenging kids are where he’s meant to be.
💕All he wanted was to support Harper and take some of the load off her shoulders and while he occasionally overstepped, he made her see that she is worthy of fun for the sake of fun and also she deserves to be taken care of and not just be everyone’s caretaker.
💙The ASD representation in this story is so in depth and was so enlightening. I was frustrated for all family members at their sacrifices and struggles and especially at the lack of resources for kids with Autism and the high cost of the resources that are available.
All of this is to say- the cards were so stacked against Harper taking time for herself but Kyle blew through all of the roadblocks and made himself an undeniable bright light for Harper Sam and Piper.
🌶️ I really loved the way Kyle worshipped Harper. She was feeling insecure about her body post kids but he literally put her on display with that mirror scene 👀 so hot 🥵.
There were even more amazing Langfield / momcom banter and emotional moments to laugh and swoon over.
The extended family situation was a bit confusing to me and took me out of the story a few times and that’s the only reason I gave it less than 5 stars.
Thank you so much to Jenni Bara and her team for providing me an arc in exchange for my honest opinion of The Foul Out 🖤.

DUET NARRATION: Stephen Dexter & Erin Mallon
Available Now!
I don’t know what took me so long to read this!?! Boy, did I fall hard for Kyle Bosco!
Harper meets Kyle after catching a foul ball that almost hits her child, which in turn caused Kyle Bosco (Rev’s baseball player) to catch a temper tantrum for the loss of the game. (Insert enemies) Harper is a single mom who works hard to provide for her family and to give her daughter (Piper) with ASD the best opportunities she needs. Kyle ends up connecting with Piper while volunteering at the daycare, but Piper isn’t the only one Kyle is interested . Can Harper get past her dislike of the playboy baseball player? Did Harper under estimate Kyle?
The way Jenni described the single mom aspect and ASD rep was so well written. It was so real and raw. I felt every emotion Harper was feeling. I loved the way Kyle stepped in and took over. His patience and understanding was incredible. SWOON ALERT ladies! Kyle Bosco is going to steal your heart.
Stephen Dexter and Erin Mallon depicted Kyle and Harper to utter perfection. It was exactly how I imagined them. This duo’s performance gave me all the feels.
Tropes: baseball, enemies to lovers, single mom, reformed playboy, found family, ASD rep, he falls first.

🎧ALC Audiobook Review 🎧 Book Title: The Foul Out; Boston Revs #3 Author: Jenni Bara Narrated by: Stephen Dexter & Erin Mallon
My Thoughts: My goodness…the way I swooned for Kyle! He won me over with the sweetest step daddy, jerky alpha golden retriever vibes and I loved it! There's just something about his charm, warmth, and those genuine, caring moments that made him irresistible.
One of the things I love about Jenni's writing is how she manages to craft stories that are not only fun, hot, and utterly charming but also deeply relatable. Her characters feel real, with just the right mix of quirks and heart, and Kyle is no exception. The way she balances humor and steamy moments, all while grounding the story in genuine emotions, makes for an addictive read. One of my favorites!
🎧Audio This duet narration was an absolute treat! Erin perfectly captured the essence of the strong, caring mother figure and I loved how much heart she put into every scene. Her emotional depth really shined through making her character feel so authentic and compelling.
Stephen was fantastic as the broody jock, delivering his lines with the perfect balance of roughness and vulnerability. His inflection added so much depth and I really enjoyed it.
Erin and Stephen had great chemistry and character voices and brought this one to life, I really enjoyed it!
Spoilers ahead, 3.5* not quite 4 but I'm a sucker for kids in my romances
Harper stops a baseball from accidentally hitting her son....Kyle fully believes he could've caught it......buttom line? The Revs lost the world series and Kyle's comments post game turned all of Boston against Harper, blaming her for their loss. The PR team steps in and Kyle is forced to make nice.....when he meets Harper officially though he realises their lives entertwined much more than she knew.
****** This was much more than I thought it would've been, mainly because of Piper. Piper has ASD. I've never met anyone on the spectrum but wow she really really had it hard. My heart broke for her trying her best for her child while feeling guilty that her son may be neglected too. One of the things I don't like is when single parents refuse desperately needed financial assistance. This is a ME thing and one I struggle to understand. To me pride would never stand in the way of things needed for my child, as such I struggled a bit with Harper and her initial stubbornness. The Revs were attempting to fix the situation but she kept turning down the help, seeing what she was facing on the daily I questioned her judgement. Finally she got on board though Kyle...... fantastic H! Seriously fantastic, he was so awesome with Piper, just taking it up on himself to help as much as he could especially as his family dynamic allowed him to have some experience in this almost exact situation. I did think he should've confessed to his lie way earlier but then there'd have been no conflict 🙄. He was awesome with the kids though so I loved him for that. I didn't read the previous books in this series so I wasn't familiar with some of the secondary characters but I wasn't too lost because I read Beckett and Courtney's books in the momcom series I would've liked to see more of Piper in the epilogue tbh, I needed to see her some more after the therapy All in all I enjoyed this one despite my little issues
No cheating H/h did NOT get off to a good start h was divorced, her ex was around in the latter half of the book but no drama from him Child with ASD, physical incidents with her as she struggled with her situation Slight slight om drama
Single mom Harper is gifted baseball tickets for her daughter's birthday. Piper’s favorite team is the Boston Revs and her, her brother Sam, and Harper find themselves in the front row along the third base line when Harper interferes with the foul ball about to hit her kids that Kyle Bosco is about to catch for the last out that will send the Revs to the world series. This makes Kyle and basically all of Boston hate her, at least until Harper gets a call from the Revs PR team. Piper also has ASD, which puts a lot of pressure on her mom since she has very little help from her ex. Once Kyle gets to know Harper and her family, it's over for him.
Kyle Bosco is going down as one of my favorite book boyfriends. Ugh. He's so close to perfect that it hurts. All the little details he paid attention to. Everything he did to make Harper's life even just 1% easier. How amazing he is with her kids. Harper basically had her own Bartman moment (ignore the bad memories, Cubs fans) but thankfully she didn't have to go into hiding like he did. Piper and Sam love Kyle. He's so understanding with both of them even though they are all so different. I was curious how the whole thing with Kyle's family would turn out, and it was unexpected, but I'm glad things happened the way they did. I can't wait to get to the other books in this series!!
Erin Mallon and Stephen Dexter did an amazing job in this duet narration! It's been a bit minute since I've listened to either one of them, so it was great that I got to hear them both together. They really knocked this one out of the park! 😂
Thank you to Must Love Audio and the author for an advanced copy of this audiobook. Opinions are my own.
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF: You love a reformed playboy who falls hard for stressed in our single mothers.
I already loved The Foul Out when I read it, but experiencing it in audiobook form made me fall even harder for Kyle Bosco. Stephen Dexter and Erin Mallon did an incredible job bringing these characters to life, making the emotions hit even deeper.
Kyle is everything you want in a baseball book boyfriend—patient, thoughtful, and fiercely devoted to Harper and her kids. Watching (or in this case, listening to) him build a bond with Piper and Sam was one of my favorite parts of the story. Piper, with her ability to rattle off baseball stats like a pro, stole my heart, while Sam’s sweetness and vulnerability made their little family feel even more real. Harper’s journey as a single mom balancing her kids, her past, and her growing feelings for Kyle was beautifully done.
The narration was fantastic. Both Dexter and Mallon nailed the emotions and pacing, making every scene feel authentic. My only small critique is that some of the characters from Texas didn’t quite sound like they grew up there—those accents didn’t have the southern twang I expected. But otherwise, the performances were spot-on, enhancing the chemistry and depth of the story.
This book delivers everything I love in a sports romance—heartfelt moments, strong family dynamics, and a love story that feels earned. If you love baseball romances with swoon-worthy heroes and emotional depth, the audiobook of The Foul Out is absolutely worth a listen!
🎧 Highly recommend for fans of sports romance, single-parent love stories, and audiobooks that bring characters to life in the best way!
Okay, let me just say—this book was everything! Jenni Bara knows how to create the perfect book boyfriend, and Kyle Bosco is no exception. I feel like I’m cheating on Emerson (sorry, Emerson!) because Kyle just completely swept me off my feet. He’s got that perfect blend of tender and fierce, and I didn’t want this story to end. Seriously, I could’ve read about these two for at least another week!
What really hit me, though—besides the love story, of course—was how Kyle connected with Piper. The way he made it his mission to get through to her was just beautiful. Jenni absolutely nailed it with Kyle’s backstory fitting perfectly with Harper and Piper’s lives. It was like the peanut butter to their jelly. Chef’s kiss!
Now, to sum things up: Kyle Bosco is a star baseball player who’s also a bit of a player off the field. Harper is a single mom with two kids—Piper, who has ASD, and Sam. Life is hectic for her, and like any mom, she gets exhausted. Enter Kyle, after Piper and Sam get tickets from Harper’s brother (whom she didn’t even know she had until adulthood—crazy, right?). Piper is Kyle’s biggest fan, but when Harper catches a foul ball at the game, all of Boston hates her because it cost the Revs the World Series. Oops. 🤷♀️
So Harper gets invited to the Revs' PR event to clean up the mess. Piper and Sam are over the moon, but Harper’s not exactly thrilled. But once Kyle starts getting closer to her and the kids, things change—he’s not just some baseball hotshot; he’s a guy who genuinely cares.
Like with all of Jenni’s books, this one was such an easy read that sucked me in from page one. You can’t help but root for Kyle as he tries to win Harper and her kids over. And when it comes to groveling? This man knows how to do it right—with daily handwritten diary notes, no less. 🥺
And oh, the steam! That mirror and chair scene? 🔥🔥 I needed a minute to cool down, seriously. Emerson will always be my golden retriever MMC, but Kyle just shot to the top of my list for hot baseball players who step up as dads.
I’d totally recommend this book to anyone who loves a good sports romance with a side of real-life feels. The way Jenni portrayed the ups and downs of life with an ASD child was beautifully done. I definitely teared up a few times. Go read this book—you won’t regret it!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

LISTEN, not only is this a great story, but so are the previous two books in the series! I didn’t do my usual start at the beginning for this series because I didn’t think I’d have the time to read 3 books by the time this release happened, so I read Foul Out first and loved it so much that I read it in one night! So I just jumped back and read the first 2 anyways, but then release day came and went and here we are … WHY AM I LIKE THIS?! Lol So, obviously I’m late up to bat (see what I did there lol) but it’s actually never too late to rave about a story, amirite?
Before I say anything about the story, I just want to give MAD PROPS to the author for the respectful and realistic manner in which she represented ASD. I am intimately acquainted with having a child with ASD and single parenthood and I am immensely grateful for the realism in this story.
This story was so romantic to me. Kyle & Harper obviously have a “romance journey” but Kyle and Piper & Sam also have a journey and every step of the story just gave me this inner peace of contentment because it was real and relatable and my heart just wanted to burst from it all. There was also plenty of levity, especially from his teammates and secondary characters that added to the completely heartwarming story!
Now that I’ve read 3 books by this author I can safely say that she will more than likely be one of my #bookbestie(s) (IYKYK) and I’ll look forward to every release she has coming!
Never did I ever think there would be a Boston Rev who would dethrone Christian Damiano as my favorite player of all time, but here we are, and I'm not mad about it.
There is just something about a playboy who falls fast and hard for a single mom and her kids, and boy did Kyle deliver. The way he went from "ugh falling in love? absolute never" to "I want to be in Harper's apartment because that's where all my favorite people live" was a complete swoony delight and the way that Harper slowly let Kyle in to her life, accepting the fact that he wanted to help her shoulder her burdens and love her kids like his own had me all in my feels. As a parent, I felt Harper's struggles in my soul. I think that she is the most accurate depiction of a mom I have ever read, and I felt so seen by every single part of her.
If you've been here a minute you know that this Boston sports universe is my absolute favorite, and any day I get to spend some time here is a good day. I loved seeing what all our favorite couples are up to, getting some Beckett Langfield hijinks, Dylan being amazing, and the Puff sighting that we always wait for. This universe is so fun and so special, and I am so glad that Kyle and Harper and their kids are now a part of it.
5.0 🥳 stars For me this enemies to lovers baseball romance hit it right outta the park. LOVED IT! New author to me and I just happened to start in the middle of the series with book 3. Its the one that snagged my attention while scrolling sports romance. Single mom with 2 young kids, one of which has ASD. The author has a child with ASD and my heart goes out to the author and all those parents raising children with ASD.
I really felt the day to day struggles Harper had as a single mom to special needs 7 yr old Piper and 4 yr old Sam. Loved, loved, loved cocky, wiseass Kyle 😍😍😍. Kyle went from jerk to hero quickly for me. Stubborn, "Crabby" Harper's not as quick to get on board. Kyle's relationship with Piper is so special and he's all kinds of fun with Sam (heart warming). Competitive Kyle's determined and pulls out all the stops to win Harper over. This story was a good mix of sports, single mom/family, drama and steamy romance.
I was at a loss starting in the middle of the series when it came to all the side character interactions (team mates and their significant others). My laser focus was on Kyle and Harper though so it wasn't so bad. Will be reading the other books in the series soon to catch up.
This book is about Boston Revs' right fielder, Kyle Bosco, who has to turn from the fun playboy man-child to dependable family man if he wants to find his happily ever after with single mom, Harper Wallace.

Life is all about balance but when it comes to her kids, Harper has felt like the only person she could depend on is herself. This woman is a warrior who reminds me of my own mom and grandma. The way she puts herself into understanding her daughter after Piper is diagnosed with high functioning ASD. While Harper turned everything, diet wise and the way it may seem she tends more to Piper than her toddler son, Sam, she understands that many people almost put up a wall to block out the people whose bodies function differently.
I love how Kyle bulldozes into Harper's life after he realizes that he might have been a major A-hole after his outburst. The two of them have to learn that Harper can take care of Piper, while also giving Sam things, such as sugar, and other things that aren't good for Piper. Balance is so important for both Harper and Kyle to realize that maybe the life they were living was missing something very special.
This book touched me in a way I wasn’t expecting and I have to say I am so grateful for people like Harper and my own mom and grandma who don’t look down on their children. Instead they through themselves into finding anything and everything they can do to make their children’s lives more difficult.
I love that Kyle “forces” Harper to face the fact that if she doesn’t live her life as well, the constant stress that takes over the air is not good for anyone. I find it funny that not only does he help with the children but he might just be the person she needed to feel alive again.
I love the Easter eggs Bara puts in and I can’t want to see what she has instore for us. I’m anxiously anticipating not only Finding Out releasing later this year but also The Freak Out which isn’t releasing until 2025.
A bad play shouldn’t cause a media meltdown but I’m Kyle Bosco and I’m a competitive jerk. So of course I couldn’t just shut up.
Now I must atone for my comments. Somehow that includes working at a daycare with seven year old Piper who thinks I’m her best friend. But Piper is not the one who has me tied up in knots. That job is reserved for Harper Wallace- her mother.
Harper is fierce, combative, and an irresistibly gorgeous single mom.
If hating me were a sport, she'd be MVP. For reasons I can't tell you, she's completely off limits so I obviously should stay away.
But hear me out?
I'm a competitive jerk. I’m not the guy that rides the bench. I’d rather go down swinging and foul out than not play at all.

Review : Loved it I actually didn't expect to like Kyle book cause I don't particularly like play boys but I loved it and Kyle.
This starts where we meet Harper a single mom with two kids piper and Sam
Piper is autistic and has some trouble day to day
Harper ends up stopping a ball which would of ended them winning the game cause it almost hit sam . And Kyle made a dumb comment and Harper ended up being a pariah.
But they do damage control and the kids meet Kyle and they end up going to Dylan day care where Kyle ends up helping out .
Kyle and Harper end up getting along and being friends which turns into more but Kyle is hiding something Kyle is cousin not blood with Harper half brother .
And they don't particularly like Harper cause Harper was the affair baby .
I also loved the friendship between Zara and Harper.
I'm looking forward to Zara book in the spring .
Harper found out that Kyle knows her brother and is pissed he hid that from her .
But she goes to his game and ends up forgiving him after Kyle mom and JJ and JJ mom show up and talk with Harper.
Kyle proposed to Harper with the ring she pawned to pay for piper therapy.
The relationship Kyle has with the kids was so sweet . Kyle has a brother with autism so he knows what it's like to grow up that way .
Onto daddy Wilson book.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I will never tire of the Boston Revs universe. I love the characters, the found family, the love, everything! These books make me incredibly happy and I can’t wait to continue the series.
I was NOT expecting Kyle to be such a softie!! My gosh, he fell HARD for Harper and the kids. He was so unbelievably sweet and caring to them 🥹🥹🥹 He may of claimed to “not be perfect” BUT he was pretty damn perfect. My heart melted any time he did something with the kids or specifically went out of his way to make Piper comfortable 🥹🥹 Kyle is an absolute 10/10!
Harper was such a strong, and resilient character. She had the weight of the world on her shoulders and I’m so glad Kyle was able to ease the burden & she got to enjoy more things.
I am sooo ready for the next books in the series 😍

I love the Boston world that Brit and Jenni have created, and getting to see characters cross over and the easter eggs dropped is so fun!
I loved Kyle and Harper, the latest addition to this world, they had such a fun and different meet cute, and I loved seeing how once Kyle understood the situation with Harper and her kids, he was all in with his support, wanting nothing in return but just to help and try and make their lives easier (even if he didn't go about this in the right way all the time).
I was generally shocked shouting NOOOOO at the reveal later in the book, having been thinking something else throughout the whole book, and was left reeling. I was a little confused with Harper's family situation, and felt this could have been cleared up a little bit more especially the intention behind some of the actions.
But overall, this is my fave of the series so far, and I'm so excited for Daddy Wilson.
Oh, I absolutely loved this! The ASD representation in this book is wonderful. It tells such a good story of real life.
Kyle is amazing and one of the best book men of all time. He is patient, kind, and loving. Harper has been hurt and is guarded, but who can blame her. She has spent all her time and money on being the best mom she can be.
I love that the story talks about the kids, Sam and Piper. What it’s like for Sam being the sibling of someone with ASD and then the challenges Piper faces having ASD. What Piper goes through and the times that Sam has to sacrifice or be on the back burner because of Pipers challenges.
The love that grows between Kyle and Harper and the hurdles they have to jump through is wonderful. It’s a great story with some spice sprinkled in.
After a bad play causing a media meltdown Kyle is left to atone for his comments. He has to work at a daycare with Harper's daughter, Piper. Harper is the reason Kyle is in knots and it doesn't help that she hates him as well. Will they let their emotions get in the way??
I love a good single mom romance. Harper was amazing! She was sassy, independent and combative. I loved how patient she was with her kids especially with Piper. I thought the author did a wonderful job of shedding light into the life of a parent of a neurodivergent kid. It took me a bit to warm up to Kyle, but once I did I was rooting for him and Harper. Despite their circumstances Kyle was so sweet and I loved the effort he made with Harper and Piper.
Most recently I listened to the audiobook and it's fantastic! Performed in duet by Stephen Dexter and Erin Mallon. They embodied their characters. Stephen conveyed Kyle with a deep tone. He captured Kyle's arrogance in the beginning and changed his tone once Kyle got to learn more about Harper and Piper. Erin conveyed Harper with a fierce tone. She captured Harper's sass and protective nature. I also loved Erin's kid voice. It's so good. Highly recommend the audiobook!!
Audiobook out now!
Thank you to the author for my ALC and for the opportunity to review and listen.
I first read one of Jenni’s books a year or two ago and automatically fell in love so when I saw this arc I just had to apply and I’m so glad I did! This was so good! Kyle was so cute with the kids and Harper was so sweet and didn’t deserve the treatment she got from her family. But her and Kyle together were perfect😍
Thanks so much to Hambright Pr and Jenni Bara for the chance to read this Arc!!🤍
I listened to the audio for this book and it was so perfect! Narrated in duet by Erin Mallon and Stephen Dexter and they both did a fabulous job! They made it so easy to root for Harper & Kyle and I couldn't resist swooning! Despite the conflict that popped up in this book, I still was rooting for them to work through it! I've been loving the Revs series and I can't wait to continue on with the next book!

3.5! THIS WAS THE BEST ONE YET😭 Single mom of two kids catches a foul ball that could’ve been caught by the player, causing them to lose the playoffs, player then targets her over live TV and causes the entirety of the Boston area to target her. So she goes on a PR world wind with the team. This is so cute and funny. I’m such a sucker for a single mom trope.
I said I wasn't going to read any more series out of order (this is a series of interconnected stand-alones, so you totally can), but here I am- reviewing the third book when I have yet to read the first two.
I picked this one up for the ASD rep (which was handled with care), but fell in love with every aspect.
Kyle oversteps on more than one occasion, but ultimately just wants to make sure that Harper and the kids have everything they need in order to thrive as a family/individuals. I loved their banter (his nickname for her is Crabby)- and how he stood up for her when her father's side of the family were talking sh*t about her and her mother.
Thank you to the author/Hambright PR for sending me a copy of The Foul Out in exchange for an honest review!
4.25 stars - cute story but i was so confused i thought jj was jace most of the time lol maybe that was just me. i need to read the first two books but it was so good to see cortney and the others again !!
Our MMC in this story is the definition of- if he wanted to ladies, he would! Holy cow Kyle, can you set higher standards for real men out of this fictional world?! Pretty please?! I have to say ya’ll, this is my favorite in the series so far! The ASD rep in this was so well done. I loved our little misunderstood Piper.
This book was such a pleasant surprise I got a little confused for a while but I stuck with it and I am so glad that I did. The connection that Kyle and Harper had was undeniable. Piper is my ultimate favorite character I love how this book explained all about the condition she was born with. Jenni really out did herself with this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes baseball and romance!
please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. HEA: HFN POV: dual 1st person spice: a few open-door spicy scenes TWs: unintentional abuse from child with ASD, anxiety, ASD, accidental self harm from ASD, cheating, death of a parent (recounted), divorce, manipulation, parental abandonment Kinky Content: eyes on me, fingering, food play- whipped cream, mirror sex, nipple play, oral standalone: book 3 in the Boston Revs Three Outs series final thoughts: this book was ADORABLE!! It was emotionally heavy while also being funny and light. The writing and storyline really made the emotions balance with each other well. I love this series and can’t wait to see more! I love the sports lineup, playlist, and imagery at the beginning!

✨ Audio Review ✨ Oh, my heart! The Foul Out by Jenni Bara was a sweet and emotional baseball romance that had me smiling, tearing up, and happy sighing all at the same time. I loved everything about Harper and Kyle’s journey to HEA. This book hit all the right spots, from the adorable kids to the witty banter and intimate heartfelt conversations. I was here for it all. This is book three in the Boston Revs Three Outs Series, but it can be read as a stand-alone.
Erin Mallon and Stephen Dexter perform this audiobook in duet-style narration, and this a new favorite from both of them. Erin’s performance left me in awe. She perfectly captured Harper’s raw and vulnerable emotions and overprotective mama bear tendencies. Plus, how she portrayed Piper, Harper’s seven-year-old daughter diagnosed ASD was simply brilliant. Stephen’s deep soothing voice added just the right of playfulness to a charismatic and devoted Kyle Bosco.(swoon) Not to mention, Erin and Stephen delivered the enemies-to-lovers tension-filled chemistry wonderfully making my heart go all a flutter.
Overall, I LOVED this book. If you are a fan of a sports romance with a hot reformed playboy baseball star, a dedicated single mom, a neurodivergent child, a foul ball mishap meet cute, dessert coffee, daycare time, grant recipients, baseball lessons, krabby nicknames, flirty text banter, slow-burn steamy times, secrets revealed, love declarations, and a HEA that will squeeze your heart in all the best ways, then you will love Harper and Kyle’s romance. I always look forward to more from Jenni Bara.
