About this listen

They say opposites attract. Someone needs to tell that to Emerson Scott.

Gavin

All I ever wanted was to play ball. When an act of sheer stupidity took that dream away, I thought I’d never bounce back. But now, I have the opportunity to coach an up-and-coming phenom, and I'm giving it all I've got. The fact that I've been lusting after his smoking-hot sister only sweetens the deal. Emerson may be buttoned up like a school librarian, but I play my best when I’m under pressure...and I always bring the heat.

Emerson

Never lose focus. Never lose control. Those are the first two rules in my carefully calculated plan for success. Finding myself thrown into the role of guardian for my little brother was not part of that plan. But I can adjust for Jay’s sake. I’m not about to let one change make me lose sight of my goals. Too bad Jay’s hot young baseball coach doesn’t seem to give a fig about my plans. He has one of his own - and it includes me. Gavin Monroe may play like a pro, but that boy will never win this game.

What a cute romcom!! I loved the characters and I want to go back and read the first three books in this series. The Game was an absolute blast with memorable characters, a ton of giggles and was a joy to read. I'll definitely be reading more Sylvie Stewart in the future.

Fun and Steamy Romance!

I had so much fun listening to this sweet, engaging, and steamy romance. Gavin is the famous hometown boy who was on the fast track to playing ball in the big leagues. His future was turned upside down after a tragic accident. Now he is finding a new path and is working hard to reach his goals. One of those goals is to convince a smart sexy Emerson to go out with him. Emerson is focused on making partner at the law firm where she works and being available for her teen brother who lives with her. He is a talented pitcher who Gavin would like to help train. Emerson has never met anyone who could make her feel the way Gavin does. They are from different worlds and she is torn between the charming, fun, sexy man and the image she is pressured to uphold. Gavin was so loveable, and swoony as he continued to prove that he was more than his mistakes. It was a joy to watch the sweet and caring Emerson realize that she could be happy and successful. Gavin and Emerson were so cute together, I really cared for them and cheered for their HEA. I loved all their friends and family who added so much hilarity, encouragement, and support. This is my first listen to Kelsey Navarro, and I really enjoyed her performance. She was so perfect as Emerson, but her other voices were distinct and dynamic as well. She was very easy to listen to, making this funny, quirky, heartfelt romance even more fun and exciting.

Careful meets carefree love story

Emerson is my book alter ego in the world of Sylvie Stewart - ever the careful planner who prioritizes pretty much everything above herself. Cue Gavin to bring his cute carefree self into her life to mix things up. I love the text exchanges and contact names in this book and was nervous about how it'd come out in audio but they've pulled it off. And this book had me laughing out loud in public as the narrator brought the story to life. Can't wait for the next adventure!

A clear contender for best in series

The intro for this book was lackluster and I was worried that this book would not be enjoyable, but I was determined to keep going because I loved the first two books. Then I started this one and I was BLOWN AWAY! It was fun, the lackluster intro in the previous book was totally turned into a "she was meant for me" thing and I laughed, and cried, and was amazed at how many issues they had to overcome in order be together. Yet, the relationship rang as true and right immediately. The narrator was very good and you could feel both of their frustrations as issues arose. You could also feel the heat.

Bottom line: YOU MUST READ/LISTEN TO THIS BOOK!!

Such a cute story!

Although an injury benched Gavin's dreams of a major league career, his talent sends him onto a new path, turning his world upside down. Well actually I think he turned Emerson's world upside down in truth. Emerson certainly never expected to fall for her brother's baseball coach but fate had other plans and although they both thought their love had been struck out, they ended up with a home run in the end. Such a cute baseball love story!

A Sports Romantic Comedy!

This is a sweet, fun, and sexy Sports Romantic Comedy. Emmy and Gavin are opposites attract, but they are great together. The story has some slow parts. It was an interesting listening. Kelsey Navarro did a great job with the narration. #AudiobookObsession

amazing heartfelt entertaining funny story

An entertaining heartfelt well written funny opposites attract story that was wonderfully narrated.  This amazing standalone is part of a series where the characters totally compliment each other to a become a great couple. It is filled with lots of emotions including angst, humor, heartache, love and joined with plenty of drama, twists and turns. It is nicely plotted while having me laugh out loud numerous times. The characters are strong, interesting, with lots of flirting, hiliarious banter and joined with other old and new characters from the series. The narration was perfectly done, with each character having a unique sound that made it easy to follow as their personalities and emotions are projected making it easy to follow as it's written from dual POV. Can't wait for more in the series as we are reunited with past characters and given some new.
