About this listen

Dominic Girard

My final baseball season with the Easton U Pirates feels bittersweet. I'd like to go out on a high note, graduate, and focus on the family business. But a certain pitcher is making senior year a challenge. Not only because Maclain is stubborn as hell, but because he makes me feel things I never have about another guy. With each snarky comment and hard-won grin, he reveals a little more of himself, and before I know it, I'm in over my head.

Mason Maclain

I'll be graduating college this year, which also means the end of baseball, a sport I've played my entire life. It feels like a significant chapter is coming to a close, leaving behind a void I'm unwilling to face. Something else I don't want to face? The impossibly charming Pirates catcher, whose quick wit and killer smirk poke holes in all my defenses. With each lingering look and quiet exchange, I want to push him away and pull him closer at the same time. I've never felt this intense draw before, and there's no way I'll ever admit it.

Contains mature themes.

This is a teammates to more romance, featuring Mason Maclain and Dominic Girard, and is the second book in the Easton U Pirates series.

Mason and Dominic had amazing chemistry. Mason’s grumpy demeanour was so endearing, he was such a lonely soul and had walls so high that only Dominic’s persistence could break through. There was amazing push-pull between them and as time goes on their attraction turns physical and then feelings end up bubbling to the surface.

This book is all kinds of sweet. I would consider it a medium angst because of everything Mason goes through and the anticipation you feel all the way through the story, it’s a beautiful story and HEA. Www

Things to expect in this MM romance are:
2nd book in series
College baseball romance
Teammates to more
Double bi-awakening
Forced proximity
Denying attraction
Repressed Grumpy MC
Slow burn / Med angst
Push-Pull
Touch starved
Coming out
HEA

Story of Maclain and Girard

Star pitcher for the Easton U Pirates, Mason Maclain hides his hurt and confusion behind a cocky, aggressive attitude. Catcher Dominic Girard is more thoughtful and caring, patiently trying to coax Mason into opening up. Whereas Bat Boy was light and breezy, Home Plate is deeper and more angsty. This book shouldn’t work. Instead of showing us with action and dialogue, there’s loads of introspective telling and info-dumping which give the two MCs a level of intuition and emotional intelligence that men twice or three times their age never reach - I’m not sure I have! And yet, I was entranced. Christina Lee has again written characters whose battles and tender moments are intense and hard won. I felt deeply for them and their attempts to navigate their nascent feelings for each other. Those readers who get impatient with Mason’s slow progress seem to miss the fact that he lost his mother years ago and is being raised by an unloving, absent stepfather. Audio narrators Iggy Toma (as Mason) and Kale Williams (as Dominic) knock it out of the park!

Tender and moving!
