A cocky minor league pitcher and a laid-back physical therapist…a dream team or a disaster?
Micah Warner is an asshole. Everyone knows it; hell, he knows it, but he’s focused on getting to the big leagues and earning the kind of paychecks that’ll help him take care of his struggling family. He can’t afford to get outed.
Justin Lamb is a romantic. Everyone loves him, but his job with the Cougars leaves a trail of heartbreak in his wake. Getting involved with a player is risky, but he makes an exception for the new hot-shot pitcher.
Their hooking up quickly develops into real feelings, but when Micah’s catastrophic shoulder injury threatens their careers and relationship, they have one choice to make.
Love or baseball?
Touch & Go contains a cocky pro-pitcher with a secret soft side, a physical therapist with a man-bun and a talent for dirty talk, meddling friends, and a whole lot of baseball.

I might have missed things because I could not listen for over nine hours without getting distracted. But I have to admit it was easy to get back to it quite easily. The best time for me to listen is in the car when I am alone. I took that chance.
For the characters, I really really liked Justin, but for two thirds of the book I wanted to smack Micah for his attitude, for being such an a$$ towards Justin and his team mates and for lying to his mom and sister.
The story is a classic, Micah is attracted to guys but he wants his dream to play professional baseball come true to help his mom and sister after their father left them with no money. When he gets to know the physio therapist of his team, he tries his best to stay away from the gay and out man, but the more he gets to know him, the more he wants him. They come to the workmates with benefits conclusion but every time someone points out their more than friendly way he denies any involvement with Justin. For Justin Micah becomes more of a friend while they work together and meet up secretly for really hot sex. But when he over and over has to lie to cover for Micah, he begins to doubt that they will ever be more than two men enjoying their bodies with no emotional connection.
I was impressed by the medical detail to injuries acquired by playing baseball. The banter between the team mates was entertaining and fun. I loved that most of the team mates had no issue with Justin being gay and that they kept the homophobe team players in check. Micah was sticking out like a sore thumb, keeping to himself, not getting involved in after game team building. His insecurity and his hot/cold behaviour towards Justin were insanely grating on my nerves because I could hear that he had feelings for Justin but denied it. I am glad that in the end he got his priorities right.
James Edward Jones has a great voice and I loved the way he narrated the book. He is definitely someone I would love to hear more off.

However, Micah was such a prickly person! I had a really hard time connecting with him because of that. I do appreciate his redemption arc, but I can't say he's one of my favorite characters.
Great addition to the series!

I totally disliked Micah from book 1. I skipped book 2 because I didn't think I would be interested in Lowell and Brent but now I am rethinking this 🤔 As bad as Micah was in this one it sounds like he was worse in book 2 so I know to keep better perspective of him should I decide to check it out. Justin was amazing... he did all he could to support Micah even as Micah was at the top of his douchebagness. My God! I wanted to smack him on the head a few times...lol...but once he got his head screwed on right he was a great guy....even to manage to repair past relationships. What's so sad is that Micah probably could have been a great guy all along. It really appears that his @ssholery stemmed from the fact that he had to hide himself..his stress of anyone seeing or hearing or thinking about him being gay was so bad it made me feel just as stressed!
James Edward Jones is a competent performer; he didn't necessarily add but he didn't take away from my listening experience.
4 starz - worthy of a repeat listen

That’s basically true here as well. Though there are romantic moments in the beginning of this tale, no real redemption begins until his “midnight of the soul” toward the end. There are some explanations made. They do make the character a bit more sympathetic, but the fact is, for the most part Micah is a hard guy to like. Even when you understand his background and his point of view, it’s clear that there’s still a ways to travel before he’s going to be a likable character.
On the other hand, Justin, his main love interest, who we met briefly in book 2 is a pretty likable guy from chapter one. This book actually starts at about the same time as book 2 and just follows different characters ending with a few chapters beyond the ending of the second book. It also introduces us to the characters that book 4 concentrates on.
This book doesn’t actually suffer from the literary flaws that bothered me about book one. I went back and re-listened to book two as part of my process in developing this review. Some of the flaws that I picked up on in my first pass at that material, were not as pronounced upon my second exposure. Though I think book 2 is my favorite in the series so far, book 3 does a better job with rehabilitating it’s main character than I expected. It’s eminently readable and fans of the earlier books should definitely give it (and Micah) a chance.
Though the couple here start as “just sex” it’s clear that the story is more about the “feels” and while the sex is satisfying, it’s not the main focus of the story.
One particular part that I enjoyed here was the shaving scene. When I was in middle school I read the short story Espuma y nada más (Just Lather, That’s All) by Hernando Téllez. Since then I’ve always had a bit of a shaving kink.
As with the other books, this one is narrated by James Edward Jones. He once again does a credible job as narrator. The pacing is good, and the main characters voices are different enough that the dialogue sections are clear with the voice acting adding slight shades of personality to the characters. Though the naughty bits here are less significant than in the predecessor, Mr. Jones does a good job with those sections as well.
