The Troublemaker is the fourth and final book in The Dugout series, and once again Piper Rayne reminded me why they are one of my favourite writing duos. I always marvel at how they manage to create romance stories that grab hold of your heart from the very first page, and I just knew this final instalment was going to be something special.

And wow, did they deliver.

This book had absolutely everything—twists, turns, heartache, sizzling chemistry, emotional moments, an adorable little baby baseball player, and one twist that I can guarantee nobody will see coming. Just when you think you know where the story is heading, Piper Rayne throws in a curveball that leaves you reeling in the best possible way. What made it even better was that nothing felt rushed. Every scene, every chapter, every page flowed seamlessly into the next, creating a story that kept me completely invested from beginning to end.

Piper Rayne have such a talent for writing layered romances. There’s always that central love story that hooks you immediately, but then they build around it with heartfelt storylines and emotional depth that make their books impossible to put down. With Easton and Hadley, I loved that neither of them had experience with serious relationships for their own personal reasons. Watching them navigate what being together could look like, while slowly breaking down their walls and finding their way to something real, was absolutely perfect.

Adding to the mix was the fact that Easton suddenly had a six-month-old baby dropped into his life. That unexpected responsibility added another layer to the story and made their marriage of convenience romance even more compelling. Watching Easton and Hadley step into this unconventional situation together was everything I wanted it to be.

As always, the supporting cast was exceptional. The bond between the players, their partners, and the entire Dugout family continues to be one of the strongest aspects of this series. Spending time with these characters again felt like catching up with old friends.

This was a five-star finale to a five-star series. Piper Rayne kept me on the edge of my seat right until the very end, and, as always, they left us with that little nugget of excitement that hints something equally captivating is just around the corner.

Grab a drink, get comfortable, and prepare to lose yourself in this story because page after page you’ll be wondering what comes next.

The one & done wonder gets hit with the stork delivery of a baby boy…the foot loose and fancy free traveler gets hit with a stipulation to the only thing she wants in her inheritance.

Get ready for Easton & Hadley to do the tango and help each other out in their time of need. Get ready to laugh with them, cry with them and fall in love with them. Gather around them with all of their friends as they navigate shocking surprises and stand with each other when they need it the most.

But most of all get ready to fall in love with them as they learn that love & the family they make are what is most important. Loved it!!❤️❤️❤️
