The Hotshot the first book in The Dugout series by the duo writing team, Piper Rayne is just a sweet as it is spicy! We have now switched to baseball in Chicago with Hayes Carlisle up at bat first and oh my is he swoon worthy!
Hayes is new to the Chicago team and is trying to repair his reputation from the chaos he caused from his old team. Adding on to that is his big heart as he steps up to help his sisters best friend, Leighton with the three young children that have been put in her care with the sudden death of their parents. Both of their lives have been upended but they are stepping up and doing the best they can to care for the children, but the spicy part is the turn their relationship takes when they finally overcome what pushed them both apart before and take the ‘fake’ relationship plunge that isn’t so fake when their feelings get involved. I thoroughly enjoyed their journey and am so excited to see where else this new series takes us.
I also had the added benefit of listening to the audio version of this story and the narrators did an amazing job that absolutely added to my enjoyment of this book!

Love the story only it was wayyy to short

I received an ARC for this book. I'm already loving this new series! Hayes and Leighton had so much chemistry and I loved their past history. Hayes is such a great guy. He is sweet and charming and has been in love with his sister's best friend. Leighton has some issues to work through. Trauma from her parents. She gets what she has always wanted, but has to work through her issues to keep it. This book was so much fun and sweet! Can't wait for the next one with that cliffhanger ending!

Gives a little more detail and insight into the family. Very enjoyable

Great story and loved seeing the other characters from Plain Daisy Ranch.

I love love this series! This series started me on hockey romance and I am obsessed! I can’t stop recommending this series! I cannot even remember how many people I have told to read it!

Great way to update our The Nest characters so we can continue being in their "lives"
