Walker Rockwell Owns Me!
Meghan Quinn absolutely saved the best for last! Walker was by far THE BEST book boyfriend in the whole series, and Kate was absolutely perfect. Relatable, funny, fun-loving, and someone I could
actually picture as my real life best friend.

The Perfect Catch
By: Meghan Quinn
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Vanessa Edwin
I can always rely on Meghan Quinn to make my ears happy. Not only does she pick fantastic narrators, but her stories always fill me up with happiness and laughter. This on is especially good with our broody hero Walker. He is the best kind of onion, with so many layers to pull off. His current reputation is faltering and has been assigned Kate to help him revitalize his image. She is smart and beautiful, and does not take his attitude. Her push back is the best! But will she be able to help him without falling for him? After all, there is a no fraternization rule! Secretive, sensual, witty banter, and a love story that just hit all the right places for me, this one definitely is the Perfect Catch!
To enhance this story, Jason Clarke comes in and voices Walker. He plays broody perfectly, and his transformation shines through with his nuances. He is the perfect cast for Walker. Complimenting his performance is the fantastic Vanessa Edwin, and she is the best parts of Kate! She is strong with Walker, and vulnerable behind the scenes. I love it! These two work so well together and this collaboration is one of my favorites to date!

3.5 stars
I kind of love that antsy feeling I get from forbidden office romances. While not my favorite baseball book of Meghan Quinn’s, I did appreciate the tension and the high stakes in The Perfect Catch. I’m torn between giving the book 3.5 or 4 stars.
Walker is a catcher for the pro baseball team the Bobbies (“Bobbies for life!”) and he is on the verge of being traded for his bad attitude and unsportsmanlike conduct. Kate is the new PR person for the Bobbies — a dream job she desperately wanted. Given the company’s no fraternization policy, both could lose their jobs if caught in a relationship with each other.
The beginning starts out strong. I was curious about what was behind Walker’s aggressive behavior and animosity toward fellow teammate Penn. I wondered how Kate would crack his shell and rehabilitate his image. The story was on its way to being a solid 4 stars. I even enjoyed surprise revelations. However, the dialogue devolves into too much I-wish-we-could-be-together-but-we-can’t redundancy. Literally, the exact same conversation over and over. It drags the pacing down. I also had a difficult time understanding the rationale behind Walker and Penn’s grudge and the severe repercussions.
I was struck by the sensibility of both characters. Walker is a truly decent and honorable man, despite his gruff exterior. Kate is compassionate and driven. They are never flagrant about their attraction, even though their chemistry is through the roof. They understand what’s at risk and make several attempts to resist the pull between them. Since it is Meghan Quinn, when they finally give in to their feelings, holy smokes is it hot!
I’m not sure if The Perfect Catch is officially part of the Brentwood Boys baseball series, but Walker’s teammates, Carson and Knox, are mentioned in passing. We are introduced to Ryot, Walker’s best friend and teammate, who has no filter and tends to say hilarious but wildly inappropriate things. I really hope he gets his own book.
