Description

For aspiring pro athlete Leo, his life is governed by a strict playbook: focus on the sport, avoid distractions, and keep his private life firmly off the field. He has always operated with a laser-like intensity, but that discipline is put to the test when an unexpected connection pulls him off-side. As the pressure of the season mounts, Leo finds himself drawn into a romance that challenges everything he thought he knew about his priorities and his future. It is a slow-burn journey of self-discovery where the chemistry crackles, but the stakes remain grounded. Unlike the high-octane melodrama typical of the genre, this story focuses on the magnetic, genuine evolution of a relationship as two people navigate the complexities of identity and desire. J.J. Mulder delivers a refreshing take on the sports romance trope, prioritizing authentic connection and character-driven moments over unnecessary conflict. With a compelling bisexual protagonist leading the charge, the narrative moves at a satisfying pace, balancing intimate tension with the lighthearted pulse of a winning match. It is a heartfelt, spicy, and ultimately rewarding tale that promises readers the ultimate finish line: a hard-earned and beautiful happily ever after.

Verified Purchase What a great, feel-good story! Both MCs were very likable and sweet, and their love was genuine; you could feel it. Great writing too.

Verified Purchase Troy and Sam are so sweet together. This is a low angst story that is just fun to read (I also downloaded the audio book now that its available and it is perfect). I love that the bi-awakening wasn't super angsty, the coming out to his family scene was awesome.

I liked the characters and was rooting for them. If you're looking for angst, you won't find much. Only a touch of ex-fueled doubt that doesn't last long. I will recommend this book to anyone who just likes a genuine romance with a bit of spice. I'll be reading the other novels in the series.

Verified Purchase I don't have the words to describe how much I love this story. Sometimes you just need a low-angst, feel good, romance and JJ Mulder delivered in this one. I think I smiled throughout the entire book. This is one of those stories where the characters become almost so tangible you feel a part of their story. I loved how I was able to connect with them and feel what they felt. All the little "secret smiles" left me smiling. I was just happy for them. This book is like coming home after being away for a long time and being welcomed with big comfy hugs. It's like ... a safe place to just feel the happiness that leapt from the pages. I will be returning to this book repeatedly. Comfort reads are my jam and this one has my name ALL OVER IT.

Verified Purchase As the first book in the series, this does a good job setting the tone and expectations. The initial focus is on creating/building the relationship, supported by character and plot development. The sex scenes increase as the relationship solidifies and the story ends with a promised HEA.
