Short sweet and filled with steam! Loved this best friends to lovers story. You could feel the solid foundation that was between Torin and rush. They were always on the same wave length. Torin stepped up and took a step back from the developments in their relationship when rushs home life crumbled. He put rush first and allowed him to cope but four years later Torin is done waiting. I loved how he egged rush on and pushed him beyond being able to think. Rush needed the push because he was too scared to lose Torin to even consider admitting his feelings for Torin. I loved how once they got past the crossed line they just effortlessly gelled. Hell even their team thought their were already a together. Lol. Good story can’t wait for more.

I needed a book that started with the letter Q for a challenge. I searched Amazon and this one came up in the results. And much to my surprise (and happiness!), it was MM romance!
For a novella, I felt this quick read gave me a lot more than some shorter stories do. I liked the characters and the story didn’t feel rushed. I didn’t catch too many feels though, but I’m very glad I read this!
The 4-year jump from high school to college was a bit much, especially for nothing to have happened between them during that time. That being said, I enjoyed this story enough to want to read the next books in the series. (HELLO Shaw & Bishop!!)
This was a new-to-me author and I enjoyed her writing.
Sweet Short Sports Romance
This is a friends to lovers, low-angst, sweet sports romance. The emotions, dialogue, and sports all felt genuine, and the story was short but satisfying. However, I found myself constantly trying to remember who was who for our two MCs. They were just too similar. Not only did I forgot who was who (one had family drama in the very beginning, and that’s how I tried to remember), but when I was reading a chapter I’d also forget who was supposed to be narrating; their voices were very similar.
I’ll probably read more from the series; we had some secondary characters introduced and I had no trouble telling them apart, and the possible storylines seemed interesting.

This was a short read but it was perfect for these two best friends. Low angst, some sexy times, side characters you want to know more about, and a happy ending make for an enjoyable couple hours.

Rush and Torin are best friends have been since pre-k. Once in high school they had a moment then something happened that put that on hold. Its senior year of college now and the two of them are still thick as ever, but are both wanting more. Neither wants to be an experiment for the other or a one time thing. I was happy when they started acting on the want. It was sweet and I loved it. There is no third act break up or misunderstanding. When they commit its for real and keeps.
Rush deals with the family shake up near the end of this that put the breaks on senior year high school at the end. The sex was perfect. I liked the other players as well. It be nice read the other books too.
