The Lineup: A Secret Crush Standalone Kindle Edition

by Meghan Quinn (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 9,167 ratings
Want to know a secret? It's about that girl over there.

Don’t look, but she’s the one in the power suit—with the long, black hair and the serious expression, the one I’m about to go on a date with . . . Yeah, according to her, she “accidentally” donated an obscene amount of money to my charity — The Lineup — to win said date but I found out the truth. Miss. Button Up Blouse has a secret, passionate crush on me.

I didn’t know her name until two days ago, despite the friends we have in common. Was I oblivious? Probably. Was I blind to it? Definitely. But I’m no fool, I see it now. The High Heel Harlot wants more than just a date with Jason Orson, she wants to be able to claim the best butt in baseball as hers. Here's another secret . . . she has no idea I know.

4 out of 5 stars
I loved this book immensely!!!
4.5 STARS! Once again Meghan Quinn hits a homerun with the Brentwood boys! The Lineup is Jason Orson's story. He was first introduced in The Locker Room and played a large part in the shenanigans that take place in The Dugout, which is where I first fell in love with him. Dorothy "Dottie" Domico was first introduced in The Locker Room as Emory's best friend. Presently she's a fierce business woman who has been jipped by love. She guards her heart like a fortress until it becomes impossible not to let Jason in. Jason Orson is the funny guy you want in your life. The things that come out of this man's mouth were obscene yet somehow hilariously witty. I couldn't get enough of him! He has a sensitive side that you can't help but love and a possessive alpha side in the bedroom that is oh-mama-so-hot 🔥 Together, Dottie and Jason are explosive! Their chemistry is undeniable. What began as a relationship where Dottie is being a wench to Jason soon turns into a friendship of sorts. The Lineup is a slowburn romance with lots of enticing moments, so when these two finally do get together it's so wonderful to see them as a couple. Overall, I loved this book immensely! However, I found myself already knowing what was going to happen. I also felt the drama was unnecessary but hello sweet, sweet ANGST my dear friend! I'm a sucker for angst, especially when my heart aches and the end result is me balling like a baby. Le sigh. I have nothing more to say other than I truly love these boys! Completely. This is one my favorite series by Meghan to date. I'm excited to see who she writes next, which to be frank I'm hoping it's Walker Rockwell because he's so brooding and intense I need his pain in my life 😭

    Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2020

    The Lineup is a full length contemporary sports romance novel by Meghan Quinn.

    Is it Quinn’s prerogative to establish misunderstood, easy to hate heroines? Aside from Milly in The Dugout, both Emory and Dottie were supremely frustrating for wide amounts of time. The first portion of this book I really disliked her, she treated Jason so terribly and there genuinely seemed no decent reason to excuse it.

    Dottie Domico is heavy-hitter, she strives to prove a woman’s worth in a man-run world. And, well she ‘knows people’. After having fell victim to a charismatic opportunist not only was heart ravaged, but she disappointed the most important man in her life: her father and boss. She has come to let past deceits twist her morals and character, shaping her into a powerful businesswoman but devastating any trust or openness she has for the dating world or any man.

    Jason Orsen is most definitely my favorite hero out of the Brentwood U universe. He sets gender norms on a tailspin. He’s manly, goofy, effeminate, kind, and devoted. I absolutely adore a man in touch with his feelings, content in his own masculinity that little things like tears and bro-kisses don’t damage his pride.

    I really did enjoy this pairing. They’re five and take, and getting to know each other moments were few and I cherished the small glimpses into their growing relationship. I do wish there had been more definition on some defining moments. I cried so effing much reading this. The ending was beautifully constructed, I devoured it whole, and I will cherish their cute and perfect bond.

    Dottie Domico is a take no prisoner’s kind of woman, she helps run her family’s company and takes great pride in her business. However even though she has a tough exterior, she has a heart of gold and regularly donates to charities. There is one charity she didn’t plan on donating to, but one mix-up and the donation has been sent and then a date has been won. A date with none other than Jason Orson, a major league catcher and a guy that Dottie has crushed on since college.

    Jason Orson is one of the most handsome and sensitive guys out there. He means business when it comes to baseball, but outside of baseball he’s laid back and loves to help people, which is one of the many reasons why he started his own charity. When Dottie wins a date with Jason through a fundraiser and tries to call it off, he won’t take no for an answer. From then on Jason happily irritates Dottie on the regular, however as the two spend more time together, real feelings develop. However, Dottie hasn’t been necessarily truthful with Jason, when that truth is revealed, will they make it through?

    Oh Meghan Quinn, you goddess. Honestly, I didn’t think you could top Knox’s story and then you gave me Carson, and I thought for sure nobody could top Carson, but then you gave me Jason. Jason Orson is swoon worthy. He is full of quirks, and he is hilarious, and sensitive, but also can turn into an alpha male. He is the total package. And Dottie, oh my dear sweet hurt girl. She puts on this tough girl exterior, but she’s a sweetie underneath. I absolutely loved watching them come together, and I do mean watched. I felt like this book was a movie playing in my head as I was reading it. I laughed and I cried and everything in between. Meghan painted such vibrant pictures with her writing, and I couldn’t put this one down. Truly one of my all-time favorite Meghan Quinn books.

    This is a perfect enemies to lovers, banter filled, romantic comedy. I literally laughed out loud and was hanging on every word for every one of Jason and Dottie’s “almost” moments. It’s a slow burn but the banter and humor make it all worth while. I highly recommend this funny, sweet, swoony romance. Jason is soft hearted, protective and a dirty talking alpha in the bedroom. The spice takes a while to heat but once it does? Whoa! So good.

    With the love-hate romances I want more love than hate. Dottie was a little too mean for my taste, rolling her eyes at Jason even when they’re dating. Her teasing was more disparaging than fun. Even she doesn’t like herself when she’s like that. Once she had that epiphany it would’ve been great if she was actually kinder to Jason and maybe even told him the truth about why she suddenly acted interested in him, but she kept on putting her feelings first. With Jason’s soft heart and unashamedly effeminate tendencies, I just don’t see them working out. I enjoyed Jason. His POV was really funny and made the book worth finishing. He said that he loved her because of her kind and generous heart, but she wasn’t very kind to him and her generosity was mostly writing big checks to charity. I would love for the author to write a character like his again but with a fun-loving heroine.

    The Lineup is the story of Dottie (Dorothy) and Jason. Awwwwww!
    What a couple! Be still my beating heart because JASON is THE RIGHT GUY! Can I meet a guy like him in real life please?! Thanks a lot!
    So these two are sooo oppositional and that's awesome!!
    Dottie is this tough business woman. It seems like she's just a cold hearted girl... but in the past she loved he guy, who broke her heart in the end. So she just built a wall around it to protect herself. Well she had a huge crush on JASON in college and then they meet again because of a certain circumstance.
    Awwwwww! And there's where the love story begins! It's was WONDERFUL!
    Jason is suuuuch a great guy! Handsome, sensitive, a great cook, a beast in bed. What a great combination, right?!
    Both have wonderful time together until something happens...
    Aawww! Well this book is so full of funny moments and lovely, swoon-worthy moments, sexy moments and moments full of drama.

    I’ve really enjoyed this whole Brentwood Boys series so far, but I think this book was my favourite. All because of Jason. He is a riot. I laughed out loud so many times in this book. And the way he breaks down Dottie’s walls is truly astonishing. Their chemistry is off the charts so there are lots of good steamy bits. So funny and so heartwarming, this book was such a pleasure to read.

    This is one of the books that gets a smile plastered on your face throughout the read(except for one or two instances which is totally acceptable 🤪)
    Jason had me awestruck from page 1. Everyone needs a person like Jason in their lives. He is everything sweet and spicy🔥🌶️.
    Dottie is the calm to his hyperactive side.
    It was so much fun to read all of Jason's antics and the sizzling chemistry between them.
    As much as it was fun there were lots of emotions involved.
    It's a must read sports rom-com😁 and my personal favourite in the series.
