About this listen

She can’t let him score...

Call it superstition, but when a guy bats as hot as Brooks Elliott, you don’t mess with what’s working. And what’s working is him keeping his pants zipped and doing all of his scoring on the field.

So when I hear he’s planning to ditch his V-card now that he’s been traded to baseball’s lovable losers - a.k.a. my home team and my reason for living every March through October - I do what any rational, dedicated, obsessed fan would do.

I make a plan to stop him.

But the thing about stopping him is that it requires spending time with him.

Lots. And lots. And lots of time.

And the more time I spend with him, the more I like him. Not as the guy who’s going to help save my favorite team and finally bring home a championship ring, but as the guy who’s helping me in my quest to bring back the team’s old mascot. Who also loves making pancake and bacon sandwiches. And who would do almost anything for his love of the game.

But after all this time of jock blocking him…do I even have a chance?

And if I do, are we both destined to a life of celibacy in the name of winning?

Jock Blocked is a home run of a feel-good romantic comedy featuring the world’s most superstitious sports fan, baseball’s oldest virgin hero, a rogue meatball, an adorable puppy with a cussing problem, and the best lovable losers. It stands alone and comes with a happily ever after more satisfying than a game-winning grand slam.

A great listen

This was a really funny book and well read. I think this story would be best listened to after the first 3 Bro code books to get the most out of the story.

The weird and wonderful love match

I listened to this story straight through because I couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculous situations that Mackenzie and Brooke got themselves into. Just loved too how a lot of characters from previous books in the series are intertwined in these stories which makes you feel like you're part of the family. The excellent narration brought the characters to life and I highly recommend this audiobook.

The "talking" puppy...there are no words

I read the ebook a while ago and I loved the ebook. This author is one of my favorites for some fun laugh-till-my-tummy hurts kind of fun and this book was no different. This book has it all- the laughs, the heart, the LOVE. And quite possibly, the cutest puppy with the best talking collar this side of the Atlantic. (And to listen to this brought to life by Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan?) Perfection.

In this book, Mackenzie, the most superstitious super fan of the Cooper Valley Fireballs tries to stop Brooks Elliot from getting intimate because apparently, it's that specific stat of his that makes him a baseball legend. When he's traded to the Fireballs, she needs him to win so he can't be allowed to score off the field. But by blocking his off-the-field scoring, she realizes that she may want him as more than just a baseball star.

These two- a perfect mix of weird but lovable. I laughed so hard at some of their antics. Their awkwardness knows no bounds but each time, even as I cringed a little, my heart burst in adoration because I loved them so much. And then, throw in the family (these characters had ties to families from some of Pippa Grant's other books) and some welcome visits from our favorite hockey team (I may have fangirled through the book) and this one is definitely one of my favorites, if not THE favorite book I've ever read from Pippa Grant. And that's the ebook. Now, throw in Jacob Morgan (swoon) and Andi Arndt, who always has such versatile performances and this rom-com was elevated through the audiobook. Loved it!!

So funny and a blast to listen to!

I always know when I need a pick me up book that Pippa Grant will pull me through. This book had me laughing the entire way through! Brooks has been traded and now is playing for the Copper Valley Fireballs. Not his choice, and he's not happy about it, but he is determined to finally get rid of his virginity. It's a stupid superstition, right? Mackenzie, a overzealous fan of the the team knows the superstition and is determined to use Brooks's talent to help change the losing course of the team, and has every intention of stopping any chance of it happening. Each game has it's rituals, and this is now one of them. But is it? As these two get to know each other and the massive amount of game day preparations are completed, is it really helping? And the chemistry, the banter, the team player cohesiveness, and the all out fun these two are having makes the story fly by. I was laughing out loud each time a new ritual would come into play! Fantastic characters, and a cameo of other sport players make this an all out ball to listen to! This is a homerun!

And making it even better is Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan. Always a narration powerhouse team, the comedic timing and chemistry they create with these quirky characters is spot on. It could not have been better.

Grinning ear to ear

I love that there were no alpha males anywhere, I loved that there where quirky heroines who weren't total air heads or idiots.
I loved Mackenzie and Brooks and especially Jacob Morgan's Cocoapuff :D
A total, sweet, funny feel-good romance.

Endearing and funny

Endearing and funny book, of course people are unrealistically bonkers but not in an annoying way. This one goes to the read again pile.
