Thad

Failing to make it in pro ball left me absolutely devastated. Baseball has been my life, my dream, but it’s time to move on.

Becoming a sports agent was always my back-up plan, and now that I’m interning at the biggest queer-focused firm in the country, I’m doing my best not to let my bitterness toward baseball affect my future.

That’s really difficult when I’m assigned to babysit Kelley Afton, hotshot rookie pitcher for Philly. He has everything I ever wanted, and he doesn’t even appreciate it. I didn’t become an agent so I could soothe the ego of diva athletes.

His constant need for validation from others frustrates me to no end, but that’s probably a good thing. Because if he didn’t have that, I’d find him irresistibly my type.

Attraction could lead to crossing lines which would put my position at King Sports in jeopardy, and I can’t have that.

I don’t have a backup for my backup plan.

Really loved these two, and can’t wait for this Kings Sports series to continue! Also fun to revisit so many couples from multiple past series in this universe!!! Great set up for another fun Eden Finley series. Loooove the duet narration, that always adds so much!

Glad I ignored negative reviews!

The Backup Plan is a heartfelt sports romance with depth, charm, and slow-burn chemistry that really works. Liam DiCosimo and Tim Paige bring Kelley and Thad’s emotional journey to life with distinct voices and a natural rhythm that enhances every scene. Kelley's struggles with anxiety and life under the spotlight are handled with care, and Thad's personal growth adds another layer of warmth. Their banter, tension, and eventual connection felt genuine and rewarding. A strong start to the series, made even better by a solid narration duo.

If it wasnt for the narrators. Its an okay story about a baseball player and an agent in training. Slow ...... too start. It gets a bit better once it gets going. the narrators make this story. Duet narration.

Love the narrators

I absolutely love Eden's characters and the narrators just bring them to life! Then relationships Eden builds are like no other! Plus who doesn't love Daddy Damon

The characters went from hate to s3x in two seconds. I did not finish it although I tried.

No character development

The story was somewhat predictable. The anxiety and mental health issues were a constant drag on the story. The characters at times did not seem likable. Predictable ending and nothing else that really swayed the story from your typical MM romance.
