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.
