About this listen
Sometimes baseball is just a metaphor for life, and sometimes it works the other way around.
All Sarah Duke ever cared about was baseball, and she's finally earned her shot as a full-time sports writer. She loves the work, she loves being one of the few women to ever gain access to a man's world, but most of all, she loves the game. When Duke meets Molly Grettano and her two sons at the ballpark, she instantly connects with the young family, but Molly isn't sure Duke's ready for something more. Molly wants someone softer, more feminine, and more importantly, someone steady. She and her boys have been abandoned before, and she's vowed to never to put them in that position again. If she were ever to trust anyone, it would have to be someone fully dedicated to her and her children. Duke has a lot of heart, but neither woman is sure there's enough room left in it for anything other than baseball.

Story
Bailey Kaczmarek has three loves: her dog, her construction company, and her very large family. After she finds out that her fiancée never stopped dating, she resolves to be content with what she has, rather than search for happiness in a relationship. It’s not like she has much free time anyway. Skye Kohl is a high-powered commercial real estate broker, who spends most of her waking hours negotiating some of the largest leases in the nicest buildings in Chicago. She’s so focused on topping the list of the most influential brokers in the city, that she ignores her love life.

It’s an ordinary workday when intelligence analyst Lexie Martin learns about a horrific chemical weapon attack abroad. Just an ordinary day...until a stranger breaks into her house and warns her to forget what she saw and heard, setting off a chain of events Lexie thought only happened in movies. Falsely accused of stealing intelligence and unsure of who to trust, Lexie quickly realizes the significance of the intel and that she must do everything she can to keep it safe. And as she runs—maybe for her life—Lexie knows she needs something, or someone, to help her.

Abby has brought her children to this beach to start over, to give them the enjoyable memories they deserve. Matt has been sidelined by a combat injury, and he is haunted by the loss of his best friend and the promise he made: to remain a SEAL - focused and dedicated.

The words on the page jumbled into a toxic mess my brain refused to comprehend, much less accept. Please consider this letter as a formal request to arrange a paternity test (DNA). I barely remembered Chelsea Airy. That wasn't true - we'd gone out once, and we'd been friends for a while after. But I hadn't heard so much as a peep from her since I'd gotten married. I'd reached out a handful of times, but she'd quit responding and fell off the face of the earth.

So there I was, on a stage with two other men, being asked ridiculous questions by a woman I couldn't see, but whose voice made my pants tighten - and not around my ankles. Before I knew what was happening, I'd signed up for six weeks in paradise, isolated on an island for 42 days with a complete stranger. And when I finally laid eyes on the sexy brunette who belonged to that voice, a part of me thought this wouldn't be so bad.

I love baseball
I love baseball. This book has some very well researched terms and back ground for the true fan, yet interesting and endearing explanations for the true non-athletes!

Great story...involving sports and love
I love this story line. I love a book that has a Lesbian that has children and they are incorporated into the story line. The story line set around baseball is a great addition and I wish more writers would involve sports. Lesbians love sports! Now a days lesbians are having children and it's important to have a relateable story line involving children.
Narrator was great. can't say that about most of these books but this one is a good one.

Baseball and Love is an unbeatable combination.
This story gripped my heart ❤ and made me 😢 cry. It is well written and the characters are captivating. My favorite character is the place where many have experienced baseball at its finest and not so finest. Busch Stadium is the heart of the Cardinal Nation. The author captured the essence of being a fan. If you love baseball and romance this is a story you will love.

Excellent audio!
I loved the Heart of the Game. Excellent story and excellent narration by AJ Ferraro. You certainly get a good feel of one person having a time consuming job, and how hard the choices are to make. Loved the inside look at major league baseball.

I loved this book!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book!! Not only was the story great but the narration brought more feeling and emotion to it. The characters were very interesting and had great chemistry. I found myself rooting for them to make it through their challenges. I'm not a baseball fan in the least but I found the metaphors insightful and actually refreshing to see life principles looked at from a different lens. Overall great book, I highly recommend it!

Not a light hearted romance with baseball.
Give this one a 4.5 if you love baseball. I found some of the life lessons and sayings very intuitive. The story plot was great and both women had major issues to contend with. I think the name Duke was super memorable but once the romance kicked in Molly called her Sarah it took me out of the story a bit. The kids were great, as usual. Molly was a mess but very realistic, with her concerns. The character development was not as smooth as some other books I've read by Rachel but really...baseball. So run with it.
I loved the cliches that were explained as metaphors and the chapter titles that developed the book and progressed the plot, step by step. Rachel should do that more often. It was really fun and engaging to see what the title held for the chapter to follow. Great audible for the car ride i take every weekend, back and forth for 3 hours. AJ Fererro does a wonderful job separating the voices and really delivering everyone as a separate entity. Thanks. SPOILERS from here out:
The heartbreak was horrible, so I guess Rachel did her job. I've read worse but this one caught me sideways in that I didn't quite understand what was causing the breakup. Duke seemed so mature and stable and I didn't understand why Molly was half-crazed about this totally great woman being a flake. Of course, Rachel guided us around the bases and found a reason to say Duke was not fully committed or she was spreading herself too thin not giving 100%. That didn't ring true to me b/c her job was important and I still don't really see why she had to give it up. Perhaps I should reread it but I'm just flipping my coin toss here. Do they do coin tosses in baseball....uh oh, mixing my metaphors? I also don't recall Duke ever dealing with her daddy issues except to say something like "she would never do that to Molly's kids" and that was it. I would have thought she would have spoken to her father about the unfair treatment she received growing up as a girl in her family. At first, I thought Molly was involved in a relationship with the Mafia or something. The grandfather issue was a moot point since he died. OK, I'm done ripping out Rachel's guts. Sorry. This could have been so much more. It was good but...

Duke's Job
Great story! I only wish I knew how Duke's job ended up. It was the only burning question left unanswered. Again great story.
