The Baller

The New York Lions, Book 3

De: Lulu Moore

Narrado por: CJ Bloom, Chris Brinkley

My name is Lux Weston, and I’m a matter of national security... apparently.

All I did was meet a beautiful girl in a bookstore and then rescue her. Once… twice… and maybe a third time—from a creeper.

The problem? The creeper turned out to be Secret Service, and the girl… well, she’s Radley Andrews—the President’s only daughter.

It has disaster written all over it. I should stay away.

She’s a student, I’m a Major League Baseball player. She’s trying to hide from the spotlight, I’m standing underneath it. Not to mention I’ve never had a relationship, and Radley has her own demons to battle.

When she starts looking at me the way I’m looking at her, staying away becomes impossible. Soon we’re sneaking secret dates and I’m making her breakfast.

While Radley might be the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, she’s become something better: mine.

This was my first from Lulu! This is book 3 in The New York Lions series, but could be read as a standalone. I wish I would have read the other books in the series first, just because with the cover, I expected it to have more baseball featured. BUT, it is set in the off season & with the FMC Radley being a college student, it felt really NA. Radley is the President’s daughter & had experienced something tragic that led her to being extremely protected & introverted. Lux plays in the MLB for the Lions & lives with some of the other players. This romance is extremely slow burn, due to Radley’s past. Lux falls hard & fast for Radley. He helps her through some panic attacks & helps her find her strength & happiness again. I felt like the book focused most on Radley & her growth, rather than baseball or the romance. I really can’t wait to read the rest of the series!!

Thank you Lulu Moore & Valentine PR for the ARC!

Really Enjoyed this Listen

The Baller is a slow burn, MLB player / college student. She is the president's daughter, and this one has all the found family vibes.

Lux and Radley have a good story, and I really enjoyed this one. These two have chemistry and this bond that is so sweet. Their friendship starts off innocent, but they can't deny their feelings for long.
Even though this is a slow burn, you stay engaged in the story until the very end.

I listened to this audio, and it was one that I kept in my ears until it was over. CJ Bloom is a narrator who is on my always listen list. She has a voice that is soft and sweet. The perfect voice for Radley.
Chris Brinkley isn't a narrator I have listened to a lot. But I thought he had a great voice for Lux. He captured his fun, loving personality perfectly.

I will juslmp right into the next book...

Fun sweet story

I love this series, especially how sweet Lux is. A winner with great narration. The age/maturity gap was a little concerning but a great story overall.

So Sweet

I'm loving this series so much. Lux and Radley's story was so much fun and I loved the unique tropes Lulu brought. And the president just so ever casually being a woman was *chef's kiss*

I really loved Radley. She had a bit of a broken side with her past and seeing her grow and move on from that trauma was so great. And the way Lux supported her had me swooning.

The audio was great. CJ Bloom and Chris Brinkley were both fantastic and I loved this listen.
