A Coming-Out MM Sports Romance

Outed by Kimberly Knight and Rachel Lyn Adams is a coming-out MM sports romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Liam DiCosimo and Tim Paige. This is the second book in the Off The Field Duet.

This is the second book of Kimberly and Rachel's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I loved the relationship that bloomed between Aron and Drew. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

Liam and Tim did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this series if you like MM romances, enemies to lovers romances, or sports romance.

Fantastic Narration & Finale to an Awesome Duet!

Aron Parker and Drew Rockland’s story continues in this second book of the “Off the Field” duet and it picks up where the first book, “Traded” left off, with their relationship in limbo. They finally come to an understanding that their feelings for each other are real and are not going away soon, if ever. It will not be easy for them, and they held off on coming out until the end of the season, because they want to focus on the game and not deal with fall out or haters. But things do not always go as planned, there were some pleasant surprises, my favorite was Drew’s mom, Francine, and Aron’s Dad, Joel, as well as support from a friendly teammate. I was rooting for Aron and Drew from the very start, and I thought they were great together and for each other and I loved watching them navigate their relationship, their careers and their family life. Drew’s ex-girlfriend brings more drama into the picture, but in the end she is everything we thought she was, a conniving cheat and an opportunist. This book, like the first, is wonderfully written and plotted and has the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. Kimberly Knight and Rachel Lynn Adams, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Liam DiCosimo and Tim Paige continue to do an amazing job of bringing these characters and their story to life. They had a complete understanding of who these characters were and gave them voices that suited their character and were believable in every role they played, both primary and secondary. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

Amazing

I loved the tension and the love in this story. It was about so much more than baseball, it was about love, family and overcoming adversity. And the ending! 💞

Aron and Drew against the world - for the win

I was already invested in this after that cliffhanger from Book 1, Traded, but this exceeded my expectations. This is a wonderfully beautiful MM romance as we see Aron and Drew navigate their burgeoning relationship and the hurdles of coming out the world.

There is a lovely balance in the writing of this one and the elements all gel slightly better than in the first one. This could be the benefit of having the groundwork of the tension of Aron and Drew being enemies and rivals for much of the first book but now we get to see them together and their love story. These are the parts I loved to see the most, the two of them finally able to be together with Aron reveling in his first ever relationship and Drew finally finding happiness with someone.

They are ridiculously cute and sexy at the same time that you just can't help but care about them and this is only heightened more with the two truly excellent narrators Liam Di Cosimo and Tim Paige. Their chemistry had me listening almost straight through as I couldn't put it down :)

The story, as I said, manages to balance the good stuff with the hint of unfortunate reality as these two face some hurdles in the search for their HEA. Blackmail, hostile reactions from some team mates and fans and potential separation as Aron's contract is up for negotiation. But the authors strike the right note of difficulties without it becoming too bleak or overshadowing the main story with several other characters, including family being really supportive.

You will love this book if you like a #loveislove story with your baseball fix (as a Brit that part goes over my head but whatever) and I'm definitely going to be following these authors for forthcoming books. A promising new writing partnership in the making!!!

Batter up!

Batter (and other things 😉) up! These guys want to play with balls

Outed picks up right where Traded ended, with our lovelies relationship progressing, but also with their relationship about to be revealed - but will it happen in their own time?

I liked that whilst their is an outing and other people not on board with them, there really wasn't too much OTT drama.

Sure, there is Drew's ex to deal with, but even then it wasn't too bad,

I loved the strength between Drew and Aron, how they love, support and build each other up whilst other try to tear them down (seriously toxic masculinity has no place in sports - or anywhere else - in 2023!). They go to show that love wins.

I enjoyed getting to know more of their team mates and friends, and am really looking forward to the next guy in series find his HEA - we get some lead up to it in this story.

i like the style of these two writers together, and I look forward to seeing what they bring us in the future.

I really enjoy this narrating duo, I like the way they play off each other, bringing Drew and Aron to life. I would definitely listen to more by either or both of these narrators

This book has everything

This book has everything. The second installment of Aron & Drew’s story is hot.

There are a few twists and turns which lead our heroes down some unexpected and difficult paths. Both faced with difficult choices and decisions. But thankfully they get their HEA - and it’s just the sweetest.

Liam Dicosimo and Tim Paige do a fantastic job reprising their roles as Aron & Drew.
