kfriend 's review for:
The Strike Zone
by Lulu Moore
I've recently discovered Lulu Moore, so I've been jumping into all her series. So, even though this is book 4 in The New York Lions series, it's my first read in the series. I love friends to lovers stories, so I was really excited to dive into Parker and Scout's story- and it was so charming and fun. This one had me laughing and smiling and overall was just a feel good read.
A smitten golden retriever baseballer Parker (the catcher, my fav) long pining for his bestie Scout. But the forbidden lines aren't only just about crossing the friend zone- she also works for the team, that pesky little no fraternization policy also makes theirs a workplace forbidden romance too. So even once they are able to jump into their feelings (thanks to some encouragement with friends) they still have to keep things secret.
I love friends to lovers so much because the chemistry created by their familiarity, the care they already have for each other, and the shared history- when done right, it can be the best of the best when it comes to creating character chemistry. And here Lulu does it really well- I loved the authenticity of the friendship between these two, their playfulness and banter, the general affection they have for each other. And I love how naturally they are able to progress, and how Parker catches Scout up to where he is with his feelings. They are really cute together, we have plenty of swoony moments, and their relationship is really sweet.
I loved the side characters, and this has be excited to go back to check out the other stories (and read the one yet to come) to see all these lively folks in action getting their own HEA. I think I'd really enjoy this on audio too (this was my first e-book read of Lulu's)- Lulu's writing and characters lend themselves so well to the format.
