The Double Play
by Annah Conwell · More Than a Game #4 · 2025
I have no business falling in love with Emmett Foster. The man is an incredibly wealthy professional baseball player who’s ten years older than me and has a daughter. But when he hires me to take care of said daughter, I find myself catching feelings for the star pitcher. He’s gruff, but sweet, and has a big heart that he shows in small pieces. Pieces I’d like to collect and call mine. Unfortunately, he has no plans on marrying again after his ex-wife cheated on him then abandoned him and June. So even though I think there’s a hint of chemistry between us, nothing will ever come of it. I’ll be stuck crushing on him in silence until we part ways.

Cat Thompson — 4/5
Annah Conwell is THE superior cozy comfort read. This book was absolutely precious. I love the broody MMC, Emmett, who definitely has a sweet side reserved only for his family...and eventually Hazel, too. He is a professional pitcher in desperate need of a nanny when his mother informs him that she's leaving the country to travel. Hazel was her perfect candidate in more ways than one. I loved seeing Emmett's walls break down for Hazel in her time of need and how they jumped in head first. Some people might think it moved too fast, but I loved it so much. One of my favorite Annah Conwell reads!

Emmet, Hazel, and June are so loveable and fit together as such an adorable little family from the beginning. I LOVED how, when all the fear built up, Emmet and Hazel talked it out and didn't run away. Emmet always had the best things to say ❤️ love this book.
