Ann McMan is a master at making us all laugh at the most inappropriate things. She can also break your heart with prose so eloquent, you will weep. She did that for me with this book, and Christine Williams is a master at delivering the lines Ann writes with impeccable comedic timing. You will laugh out loud at this book, and You WILL cry bug fat tears. I'd bet my favorite beer coozie on it. Well done.

As a sports fan, I was instantly pulled into Dot's amazing softball career. Once you throw in Lynn Ames' ability to put Dot's life story down in words, you'll find yourself with a book that sails over the fence for a home run. The narrator does a remarkable job of being the voice of the story. The history of women's softball isn't the only draw. The conversations between Dot and Lynn will take you through the legend's life far beyond the ballfield. It's an incredibly intimate look into family and friendships on and off the field. This book wraps all these elements together while also telling a great love story that survived in a time when the laws of the land were not so kind to those in the LGBTQIA+ family. Thank you, Dot and crew, for daring to be exactly who you were. I'll bet the All-Star Game in Heaven has a sold-out crowd packing the bleachers.

In one word, brilliant. The story was wonderful with just the right amount of low key angst. As for the narration, Lori was extraordinary.
Perfect voices for the characters and pure silk for the ASMR element. Can't love this enough. it was nice to have the visit with the Satisfaction Guaranteed characters too.

Super heros arent normally something I read about, but I was completely sucked into the story. Great imagery throughout made the story come alive. I truly enjoyed it.

Leave it to Ann McMan to be able to tackle racism, homophobia, single parenthood, a mystery, a romance, and a botonay lesson in one fabulous book. Well done.

Having read this years before I even knew where to leave a review, I fell in love with the story of Diana and Lane, and the writings of Katherine V. Forrest. When I heard it was being produced as an audiobook, I hoped the narrator would do the story justice. Jill Smith did NOT disappoint. If you love a classic tale of two women falling in love, don't skip this one.

I love these characters. Life is messy, but love makes it worth living. Fallon, Riley, Andi, and Billie are front and center, as is Olivia Nolan's death. So many questions, so few answers, but an entire family of love. The narration by Jill Smith is stellar!!

First, let me say this book was smoking.. Hidden attraction leads two people down a path of forbidden love. An attraction too strong to resist. Will it ever be forever? Well done. Excellent narration!

Wow, Where to start? First, the storyline was a much-needed respite from the divisive politics currently in the United States. E Pluribus Unum!!! Emma McMasters is the 46th President of the United States. The first female elected to the highest office in the land and, bonus points, she's a lesbian!
Four-Star General Palmer Estes is in the twilight of her exemplary career as the highest-ranking officer in the United States Army. Only after she meets the newly inaugurated President Emma McMasters does she truly begin to live a full life.
Lynn Ames crafts her characters into such beloved figures that you just can't help but root for them. Under the microscope of the entire world, they face the landmines of bigotry and vitriol with dignity and class. Narrator Abby Craden once again delivers a McMasterful performance as she brings the characters to life. Well done. Completely, McMasterful!

This book was welcomed in such a time of uncertainty. I enjoyed the positive messages and found the book to be very comforting. Well done.
