This was suck a cute and quick read! It was really enjoyable to filled with so many sweet moments. I am such a sucker for the single dad trope. I do with this book had more female friendships. Compared to other Annah Conwell books, this one was really lacking on the main character developing outside of the romantic relationship. Still a very enjoyable read though

Baseball romance
Boss x nanny
Age gap
Not spicy, kisses and touches…

Dual narration-
Tim Paige & Charlotte North
Great narration. Loved the voices

This was a fun and cute listen. Great pallet cleanser. There is no major spice. The two main characters to kiss and touch but nothing too spicy. 

Adorable and lighthearted great quick listen.

*♡Thank you to to Annah Conwell, Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for the ARC of this audiobook in exchange for my honest opinion♡*
This was a fun, easy romcom read that is perfect as a pallet cleanser or for when you are in the mood for something light and fluffy.
The trope has been done so many times by now, but the way Annah writes this single dad × nanny romance, makes it feel fresh and enjoyable. Bonus points for there being no third act break up! I love interconnected standalone, so it always makes me smile when characters from the previous books on the series pop up throughout the book.
The narrators, by Tim Paige and Charlotte North, were excellent at bringing the characters to life and we're a big part in giving this a high rating for me ♡

 Annah Conwell wrote an adorable love story between a single dad, baseball player and the nanny. It was my first Conwell book and the first of this series. The Double Play is great as a standalone. The previous characters show up, but even in book 4, I didn't feel like I was missing much. Plus, it is a baseball romance, which I love!

Emmett is a grumpy, pitcher for the Tennessee Cowboys. He is jaded by his failed marriage and doesn't find much need for small talk or even smiling. Hazel is a cheery nanny that loves children. She's had some family struggles but is undeterred in her nature. These two quickly hit it off. I wish there was more character development. I wish we saw them grow more, instead of resolve their issues so easily.

If you are looking for a light-hearted romance this is a great option. It's sweet, clean, and closed door. There isn't much drama or heartache in the book.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC, this is my honest review.

My first ARC audiobook and I loved the story and characters so much! This was a cozy romance book with all the tension and build up we love but with none of the unnecessary drama or miscommunication 

Emmett learned to trust others and communicate those feelings. Hazel learned to accept help and allow someone to share the burden of life. The maturity they showed each other and communication was wonderful to see cause that is how life is.

If I hadn’t been listening to the audiobook, there’s a really good chance I would’ve DNFd 😭

I judged the book by the cover and was so excited but this missed the mark in so many ways! 

On a positive note, this is very easy to listen to. If you’re trying to meet a numerical goal or just need something to listen to in the background, this is perfect for that. You don’t have to engage deeply to capture the entire story. 

This story is VERY insta-love. The MMC was DETERMINED that they were boss/nanny and nothing more and she has ONE incident in her life and all of a sudden she’s “his brave girl” and “wildflower” but like they didn’t have ANY chemistry before that and truthfully, none after. 

The FMC cries or almost cries literally every time she’s on the page and her emotional instability causes me to question her ability to be a nanny. 

Sadly, the characters lacked soooo so much depth. They’re extremely one-dimensional and I feel like the entire book is very simple and one-dimensional. 

I sadly wouldn’t recommend this book/audiobook. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this ALC!

Boy howdy did I love this book. I knew I would enjoy Emmett's book after reading about him in the three previous books, I knew he would have a hard, sad history and I love that he found someone to help him heal his heart. Hazel and Emmett are perfect for each other. She needed him and his cinnamon roll, golden retriever ways (once he let her in, anyway lol) and he needed her and her gentle, sweet spirit. I love that they saw each other and their own needs, that he saw that she needed someone to help carry her burdens and support her, and she saw that he needed someone who was real and present and who loved this daughter. 

One thing I love about Annah's writing is how well she brings the sweet, cozy vibes. Even given the grumpy vibes on occasion, they still give you that cozy home feeling. I'm going to miss this group of friends when we're done with them.
