Homerun Proposal

Orleans University, Book 1

By: Maren Moore

Narrated by: Alex Kydd, Sarah McEwan

The proposal was simple: Score a home run and take my virginity.

Except my proposal went to the wrong brother.

It was supposed to go to my best friend, but as fate would have it, it fell into the hands of his infuriatingly hot, irritatingly charming older brother.

Lane Collins is Orleans University's All-Star baseball captain. Cocky pitcher. Player on and off the field. The life of every party.

And the same guy I've crushed on in secret since we were kids.

He's always been out of my league. That is until he signs the dotted line on a proposal that wasn't meant for him and offers to teach me—everything.

The one and only condition? We walk away once everything's checked off.

Easier said than done when my heart is involved.

Now, it's a whole new ballgame.

this was so cuteeeeeee. i know literally every review says this but it gave SUCH 90s/early 2000s rom com vibes. 🦋💕⚾️

-sports (baseball)/college romance
-best friend’s brother
-tiny age gap (she’s a freshman he’s a senior)
-v1rgin fmc
-secret pining for years (both of them)

i was laughing, tearing up, swooning, and saying “awwwwwww” the entire time.

i thought the narration matched the story and characters perfectly !

Alex Kydd is actually the most perfect Lane.

LANE. COLLINS. Okay, Maren, I see you. I am IN. LOVE. with Lane. He is everything I never knew I needed in a book boyfriend. Oh my word. So dreamy, so seductive, so perfect. His devotion to Hallie was literal heaven. I don’t have anything else to say because this story was perfection.

Alex Kydd and Sarah McEwan brought this to life in the most perfect way. Alex Kydd is HILARIOUS when he voices his characters. It’s like I can picture him in his little booth cracking himself up. I absolutely love him.

So cute

This book was soooo cute!

The audio was great, and I really liked both narrators. So glad I’m into audiobooks now because it makes listening to books so much easier.

Definitely enjoyed this audiobook.

Book & Audio Review

Wow. This book was so good! This was such a feel good romance with a killer audiobook! I felt Hallie Jo and Lane were so perfect for each other and it was giving the perfect opposites attract vibe. I’m also such a sucker for a virgin FMC 🤭 the whole “teach me” vibes were HOTT🥵 I love watching Hallie come into herself and find her confidence. I loved Lanes possessive nature while also being vulnerable was the perfect mix. I felt Sarah McEwan was the perfect Hallie Jo she really captured the whole innocent quirky vibe. Alex Kydd was a fantastic MMC narrator! He completely embodied the sexiness and confidence that was Lane Collins and it was HOTT!

Super cute

Great story line and good performances from the readers. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a little spice, but a better love story.

Lane FREAKING Collins

One of my all time favorite books. The main character is relatable and Lane Collins is epic book boyfriend material. I highly recommend this book - the audio makes it even better.

Horrible male narrator

The male narrator totally ruined this for me. He took way too many liberties by adding in unscripted giggles, moans, scoffs, etc. If I’m not thinking about that little annoyance, the story was good enough. It was enjoyable but also forgettable. I didn’t really have too many strong feelings one way or another about the story or characters.

corny in the BEST WAYS

this is the kind of romance book you giggle and roll your eyes at because both of them are so hopelessly in love with each other you wanna gag but also you’re just : rooting for them!! a great romance with all the fluff and even a little caveman jealousy to get you started

Swoony, Super Hot College Baseball Romance

✨ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW ✨

THIS BOOK WAS EVERYTHING!!!! I am normally not the biggest fan of college romances because they make me feel old. But not this one! Homerun Proposal was such a fun, sexy, swoony book. I totally fell for Lane Collins!!!! He was cocky, sweet, and knew EXACTLY what he was doing. Phew. He was everything you want in a MMC and one of my new forever book boyfriends. Don't forget the nickname Hallie Girl!? Perfection. I also loved Hallie's quirky, awkward personality. And when these two get together...fireworks. ALL. THE. FIREWORKS.

📚 Book: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

I listened on audio to this one and it was pretty good! When the male narrator does a female laugh, it bothered me a bit. But overall it flowed really well and was a great listen!
