About this listen

Ryder

It's a cliche really, falling in love with my best friend, my very straight best friend. And to add more complications, I'm a football player, about to be drafted. We're manly men. We aren't supposed to be gay. But I am and I love the one person I'll never have. Until fate forces us together six years later. It'll be both a fantasy and hell on earth, playing along Crush - the only man who will ever truly own my heart.

Crush

He dropped a bomb on me. Then he left, never looking back. Our friendship - ruined until he lands back in my life. His presence is just as big as ever. I never forgot him, or what that one kiss so many years ago still does to my body. He's here, but is he willing to stay?

Contains mature themes.

Sweet yet realistic

I loved the story, sexy, sweet, hopeful... everything a good BL needs. While it was idealistic at points it also had a very realistic feel to the characters and the situations they encountered. While I did enjoy both performances, I preferred Ryder's voice, it had a musical quality and an easy playfulness that really sucked me in. I did really like the way Crush said "pretty boy" though... super sexy

Perfection

The audible version is just the right amount of sexy from both narrators, but I wish I knew who was who. I'm determined to listen to all the m/m the one who read Crush does!! *fans self* Doesn't hurt that the story was amazing as well!

Nice story, but.......

The dialog for the children was so annoying, they spoke like 3 year olds and 12 year olds at the same time. So unbelievable.

Starting Again

I really enjoyed this story. The first thing I did was create a Spotify playlist from the song the author listed in the front of the book. This story is such a sweet second change. There are so many fun moments between the two of them. I also love the wrap of this story. This was the first time I've read this author. I picked up the paperback at the Shameless Book Convention and I will definitely be reading more.
I picked up the audio version of the story and enjoyed the dual narration very much.

Uneven pace

Cute story and loved the writing however, the speed of the 2 narrators voices was too different and was distracting. One spoke faster and the other was very slow but since they were differently paced you couldn’t just speed up the whole thing to listen.

I enjoy it…one thing though

The story was enjoyable…narrators did a good job. I have a simple plea to all writers. Please avoid having characters saying things like “I’m going to mark you” or You’re mine.” If these are romantic novels people should not want to own other people. If you need to keep using these expressions consider placing a warning of “trigger language.” We should move away expressions that claim ownership of another person.

A beautiful family football story.

I loved the football, the steamy scenes, and the Tennessee accents. It’s nice to see LGBTQ+ sex positivity.

Great story and narrators

The book will keep your attention from state to finish. Well written with a good storyline and humor! The narrators, Chris Chambers and John Solo, are AMAZING! They are my absolute favorite narrators and together they are the perfect duo.
