The Brentwood Boys is Meghan Quinn's eight-book minor-league baseball rom-com series, following the players of a fictional small-market team through a rotating cast of central couples. The Locker Room, The Dugout, and The Lineup open the run in 2019, with each book centered on a different player finding an unlikely match -- a fake relationship, a forbidden attraction to a teammate's sister, a grumpy-sunshine pairing -- against the backdrop of long bus rides, locker-room ribbing, and a team trying to make it to the majors. The Trade, The Change Up, and The Setup continue through 2020, and The Strike Out and The Perfect Catch close the series in 2021.
Quinn's trademark broad comedy and banter-heavy voice runs through all eight books, with recurring teammates and coaching staff giving the series a lived-in, connected-locker-room feel even as the central couple changes every time. It's aimed at readers who want her sports-romance sense of humor at series length, in the same comic register as her Vancouver Agitators and Cane Brothers books.
Eight: The Locker Room, The Dugout, The Lineup, The Trade, The Change Up, The Setup, The Strike Out, and The Perfect Catch, published 2019-2021.
