Lulu Moore hits another home run with The Strike Zone, the fourth book in her New York Lions series. This friends-to-lovers, secret relationship romance is pure gold, and the audiobook, narrated brilliantly by Robert Hatchet and Emma Wilder, makes it an absolute must-listen.
Book Description
My name is Parker King, and I am in love.
Yet Scout Davison barely knows I exist.Therefore, I do what any sensible guy does when he’s trying to get a girl’s attention, I ask her out.
Except I’m too late.
Thanks to the job offer on the New York Lions Social media team, Scout’s focus is on work, so while pining for her I focus on making her my friend instead. Friends first, date later.
Or at least I thought.
The more time we spend together though, the harder it becomes for both of us to deny our feelings.
And when a new company policy makes it almost impossible for us to give in, we find ourselves falling for one another.
Now all we need to do is keep our relationship a secret until after the playoffs, and avoid Coach breathing down our necks.
The Strike Zone is a dangerous place to stay, but we’re going out swinging.
About Lulu Moore
Lulu started writing by accident, and somehow found herself stuck in a fictional world of ice hockey, baseball and billionaires. A world she has no plans to leave. She's the creator of The New York Players Series, The Tuesday Club Series, and The New York Lions - the worst team in the M.L.B.
More recently she's ventured across the Atlantic to where her latest novel is set - the beautiful cities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the annual rowing showdown on the River Thames.
She's a big fan of strong heroines, because those fierce alphas need someone to keep them in check. You'll find her navigating her way through Romance Land one HEA at a time, and trying to figure out the latest social media platform she needs to post to.
My Thoughts
The story follows Parker King, a baseball player who has been head over heels for Scout Davison, the team’s social media representative. When he finally gets the chance to make his move, he’s too late. Scout is focused on her career, so Parker shifts his strategy to a "friends first" approach. What he doesn't anticipate is that their feelings will grow too strong to ignore, even with a new company policy making relationships between players and staff a major problem.
Parker is a total golden retriever hero—he falls hard and is completely smitten with Scout. His commitment to winning her over is a delight to read. Scout is a strong, independent woman determined to make it on her own terms, which creates a fantastic push-and-pull dynamic. The tension of their forbidden romance is electric, especially since everyone on the team knows about Parker's massive crush.
The narration by Robert Hatchet and Emma Wilder is simply brilliant. They capture the humor and chemistry of the characters perfectly, making every interaction feel authentic and engaging. Their performance elevates the story, making it a joy to listen to from start to finish.
The Strike Zone is a high-contender for the best book in the series. It has everything you could want in a sports romance: amazing banter, a couple with undeniable chemistry, and a heartwarming journey to a well-earned happy ending. Whether you're a longtime fan of the series or new to the world of the New York Lions, this book is a winner.
