Synopsis

Max Maldonado loves baseball. He knows playing first base at a private college probably won’t get him to the big leagues, but he doesn’t mind. He loves the game and his teammates. If he has to stay in the closet until he graduates, that’s okay. Baseball comes first. Relationships are complicated anyway. And after his recent messy breakup, Max prefers to keep things simple.

Phoenix Bell is a fabulous theater geek. He’s excited about his recent transfer to a new school with an elite liberal arts program. Life has been on hold for a while, but this opportunity feels like the fresh start he was hoping for when he moved to California. And the chance reunion with the hot closeted jock is an unexpected surprise. The two men have nothing in common and their timing couldn’t be worse. However, when their unconventional alliance blossoms into friendship and perhaps something more, it may be time to make some hard decisions. And perhaps risk it all…out in the field.

Review

I love this series; the audiobook is great!

If you’ve read my reviews of the other audiobooks in this series I’m going to sound like a broken record. ? Michael Pauley’s performance of Out in the Field, as with all of the other books in this series, is simply wonderful. I love everything about this audiobook!

The following is my review from when the ebook was first published:

I have loved all of the books in this series and this story for Max and Phoenix is no exception. It’s book four in the series and characters from the other books make an appearance. While you could probably read this as a standalone, I strongly suggest reading the series in order. Their stories and individual books are great and will add to your enjoyment of Out in the Field.

Out in the Field is told in first person with Max doing telling. I think I have a thing for MM books with young, slightly fem guys, I’m not sure I’ve ever read a story with such a character that I didn’t love, and I really loved Phoenix in this story. He’s out and proud and won’t take crap from anyone but he will dial it back when he’s out in public with Max because he cares about him and Max isn’t out. I wouldn’t mind reading his side of this story. ?

There’s not a lot of angst in this book. Mostly it’s Max agonizing about not wanting to lose Phoenix and whether coming out is the right thing for him to do. I love the chemistry between them and the story is a bit of a second chance for them, which is a trope that I love.

I enjoyed how both Max and Phoenix got out of their respective comfort zones in order to understand more about each other. Phoenix has no interest in sports but he Googles everything about baseball so he can understand what Max does. Max knows nothing about the theater but he rehearses lines with Phoenix and cheers him on and supports him in the roles he goes after.

It was also great to visit with Rory and Christian again. A not so pleasant character from Out in the Offense has a bit of a role in this book and it’s left me wondering if he’s going to get a book and possibly get redeemed? In any case, this is a series that I really love and I hope there are more stories to come.
