What happens when you strike a deal with baseball's most talented pitcher? You slip a plastic ring on his finger and say, "I do."

Quirky meets broody in this laugh-out-loud, romantic comedy from best-selling author, Kristy Marie.

The tattoo down his forearm reads: My power is perfected in weakness. It inspires bad decisions in everyone who crosses his path.

Not me though, I’ve made worse decisions before breakfast.

Marrying baseball phenom Cooper Lexington for his health insurance...doesn’t even rank top five.

But I can’t afford to lose this marriage by falling in love.

You see, I made a promise to myself - one I plan on keeping...even if it ruins us.

The Closer is a full-length stand-alone romantic comedy. It features crossover characters from the best-selling novel, IOU.

Emotional, witty and a little crazy, I can't say enough good thing about this story.
With an expertly constructed, beautifully woven story of love, life, hurt and hope, Kristy perfectly balances humor and feels, sadness and sass. Mac's quirkiness disrupts Cooper's need to protect and the push and pull between them is the stuff dreams are made of. Their sweet, eccentric and heartfelt story had me smiling, crying, laughing and most importantly, left me feeling so utterly content with a satisfied sigh and a lightness in my heart.

Heather Firth and Connor Crais narration is utter perfection. There's a reason why Kristy is one of my absolute favorite authors. She has the uncanny ability to make me get completely lost within her tales, The choice of narrators is the cherry on top in bringing these characters to life, with all their beauty, brokenness and emotional depth and I couldn't be happier.

6 stars and a wrench

The heroine was a little too self flagellating for my taste, but overall I still liked the story. The narration was great!

🎧 AUDIO ONLY REVIEW 🎧

Audio: 4/5 🎧

#thecloser by @authorkristymarie was an amazing book by itself. But put it in audio form and it’s a home run.

@heatherfirthnarrator is becoming one of my top female narrators, I love the way she tells the story and makes it more real.

@connorcrais, this is the first audio book I’ve heard from him, but I can definitely see myself getting more books that he reads.

If you like a funny, crazy and swoony books, while hearing some 🔥 narration, This is totally for you ( but then again so is every other book written by Kristy)

I’m a huge snob when it comes to audiobooks (sorry not sorry) there was just some minor quirks that I wanted to change, but other than that it was awesome!

Every time I think I’ve found my favorite Kristy Marie couple she goes and ups the ante! Like holy mother of everything, McKinley and Cooper were just freaking superb. Chef’s kiss because these two were the ultimate treat! Where do I begin with the amazingness that was this book? Is it with the unabashedly and absolutely stubborn heroine? One who left me literally laughing out loud and that I loved with all my heart.
Is it with the hero who was one of the sexiest and swooniest men I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting? One who said the most beautiful words that seriously made me want to cry.
Kristy Marie took every expectation I had for these two and completely blew them out the water with a story and a couple that I truly adored with every single thing in me. Heather Firth and Connor Crais we’re audio perfection as McKinley and Cooper!

My New Favorite Couple!

The narrates did a great job telling this story. I am including my review from when I read the book and added my audio review.

I'm in love. This is Cooper's story. If you have read IOU you get a glimpse of him when him and Maverick banter. You don't need to read it to read this. Cooper is just so swoon worthy. Cooper meets Mac on the side of the road. Turns out she knows his Pops. When a situation presents its self these two enter into an agreement Cooper asks Mac to marry him so she can use his insurance and she in return will help take care of Pops. I loved this story, another one of Kristy's story that is my favorite. Loved the storyline and the characters. I am a huge fan of when characters banter and this story is full of it. This story made me laugh, cry and swoon because the things that came out of Cooper's mouth OMG! I want a man like him. I definitely would put this as a must read.


I also listened to the audio and OMG. Ten times better when hearing the narrators speak Cooper's words, the reading it. Listening to the story amped up the emotions when giving the characters a voice. I cannot tell you how much I love Mac and her wrench.

Love it!

Heather Firth and Connor Crais did an outstanding job with the narration. I enjoyed it. I highly recommend this series.

Beautiful Story!
