Book two in a new baseball romance series, The Dugout, from USA Today Bestselling Author Piper Rayne.
Getting pregnant after a one-night stand with my brother’s best friend was never part of the plan.
We’re talking about Foster Davis here.
Chicago Colts closing pitcher.
The broody king of one-word answers.
And the man everyone knows keeps one foot out the door.
Surprisingly, when two pink lines turn my world upside down, Foster doesn’t run. He steps in, he shows up, and he insists we do this together.
Pretending we’re fine is easy. Pretending this is just about the baby? Not so much.
Because Foster is gentle when no one’s watching.
Because he looks at me like I’m something worth protecting.
Because the walls he’s built start to crack—and I’m the one he’s letting inside.
Our arrangement was supposed to be simple. Boundaries were set. Co-parents and no catching feelings.
Okay, maybe a few sex lessons were added in too. Bad idea, I know.
Because the more time I spend with Foster Davis, the harder it is to remember why I ever thought he was the risky choice.

This is the second book in The Dugout series, a heartwarming sports romance. Foster and Callie’s story is both sweet and engaging. The story, beautifully written, blends slow burn tension, witty banter, humor, undeniable chemistry, and heartfelt romance. I liked the strong sense of family, brotherhood, and friendship woven throughout the story,. The full cast narration did an outstanding job bringing these characters and this story to life. I’m definitely looking forward to the next installment in this series.
Loved it - it was funny, touching and sometimes HOT!
I loved this book so much... The tropes were perfect... The story was perfect... Even the narrators were perfect for these characters. I love how Piper Rayne always have amazing multicast narrators.
First, I want to shout this out loud that I knew it! I knew that the one who got Callie pregnant is Foster! LOL, Piper and Rayne left us, readers, hanging for a while after The Hotshot for who got Callie pregnant but I sensed it was to be Foster because of their chemistry.
Second, girls, this book is a must read if you love a tattooed grumpy bad boy pitcher slowly falling love with his best friend's sister who he had one-night-stand with and got her pregnant!
I've never thought I would see Foster in this new light. Oh, I knew that he would come with his big package. But I've never thought he would be this much swooning protective hero.
“It’s always the ones who look rough who have the kindest hearts, I think..." I have to agree with a lady who Callie met in the grocery store because Foster is just like that but he had never known himself... yet.
And I adore Callie. Usually she isn't the kind of heroines I like much but I like her. If Foster is a grumpy one, Callie is an opposite. Actually they're opposite in everything but they're perfect for each other.
The story has all of Piper and Rayne's charms but is quite different from The Hotshot. Foster and Callie's love story begins with how swooning Foster is after Callie told him about her pregnancy. Speaking of, I don't know why and how Callie got an idea to tell Foster like that. It was sweet but hilarious at the same time because they didn't know each other much at that time. Then they showed us how close Foster and Hayes who is Callie's brother are. And I like their relationship plus Easton and Decker as well. When it comes to these crews, I feel like I smile or giggle a lot. After that, Foster got flight and I cried for Callie. She put herself out there but Foster had his issues that he had to face with first. And finally, a real thread appeared, I felt a little bit anxious with this one because my heart just healed from their relationship but I thought it's necessary to mention because someone might get curious. This way, everyone is happy and can move on. With everything happened in this book, I felt hangover after I finished reading it. But it's so good that I think this is the longest review I wrote ;)
The Wild Card is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy and proves that hot baseball players can hold their own when it comes to sports romance stories! This multicast narrated story brings in so many of my favorite voices to give life to Foster and Callie as they navigate their new coparenting life style and their new relationship through Callie’s surprise pregnancy. They also each bring their own baggage to the table and watching them deal with it all only made me fall for them more as it brought them closer as they start their new life together.
