Audiobook Review: "The Double Play" by Annah Conwell
"The Double Play" by Annah Conwell is an absolutely adorable single-dad romance that totally hit it out of the park for me! Get ready to swoon as a busy single father hires a nanny when his parents can no longer help, only to find himself falling hard for her.
This book is a home run for any romance reader, especially if you're a sucker for sports romance – and for those curious, this series features different sports, not just one! The relationship between the dad and his daughter is incredibly cute; he works tirelessly to ensure she feels loved and secure after her mom's absence, making him such a good father. The nanny, too, is wonderful. She genuinely cares for the little girl, and her dedication extends to being a fantastic big sister, taking on a parent figure role for her younger sibling while she's at school, despite her own past trauma. Watching her fall for the little girl, and seeing him fall for her, is just delightful. This book delivers on classic tropes like Single Dad, Grumpy Sunshine, and "he falls hard."
As for the audiobook, Tim Paige and Charlotte North did an excellent job with the narration! Their voices were a fantastic representation of the characters, with great changes in intonation and speaking speed that truly brought the story to life. You could easily tell when different characters were speaking, which kept the experience seamless. The narration allowed me to be completely immersed in the story. While the story itself moved at a fast pace, the narration kept up beautifully, ensuring nothing felt rushed or hard to follow. The audiobook flowed very well, and with each character getting their own chapter, it was always clear where you were in the story.
I would highly recommend "The Double Play" to all romance readers, especially sports lovers and those who specifically enjoy baseball-themed stories!
