4.5 stars! This is the fourth book in the New York Lion series, but can be read as a standalone. I listened to the audiobook for this, narrated in dual by Robert Hatchet and Emma Wilder. They both did an amazing job at bringing this story to life! Parker is literally the sweetest man, giving off all the golden retriever vibes, and has been crushing on Scout so hard for so long! They both are so sweet and I literally am in love with them! The banter between them is so easy to eat up and perfect for their story!

What to expect:
-Baseball romance
-Friends to lovers
-Workplace romance
-Secret relationship
-He falls first

Thank you so much to Lulu Moore and Valentine PR for letting me listen and review an ALC of this book! All opinions are my own.

Friends to lovers 🤝Workplace romance

The Strike Zone by Lulu Moore is a captivating story about Scout, who, after a tumultuous relationship, is ready to focus on herself and stay single for a while. Parker, on the other hand, is trying to redeem himself after missing his chance to ask Scout out a year ago. He’s been patient, giving her space, but he's also eager to get her on a date. Things get complicated when HR introduces a new rule: no dating within the workplace without first declaring the relationship to the department. While Parker is planning to finally ask Scout out, she’s busy interviewing for a potential promotion.

Lulu Moore knows how to bring the heat and build up the tension! As the two of them attempt to keep their relationship under wraps while Scout navigates the interview process, the chemistry between them is undeniable. With witty banter, heartfelt moments, and plenty of steam, this book will have you hooked from start to finish.

I absolutely adored the dual narration by Emma Wilder and Robert Hatchet—both brought the characters to life beautifully.

This was such a cute and enjoyable book. I loved it from beginning to end and definitely want to read the previous books in the series now! I've only read one more book by this author, but after this one, I definitely feel like I need to read more of her work. This was a quick and easy read, I was hooked right from the start and didn't want to put it down. I fell for the characters immediately and they were the perfect couple, and then the banter between the hero and his teammates was just golden. I definitely recommend this!
