Description
When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep.
Now he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can’t have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers.
That’s not my biggest concern though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight.
I need to stay away from him.
𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧:
Years ago, Miller and I made a pact that we’d win a Super Bowl together. When I’m offered a position on his team in Chicago, I don’t hesitate. I move across the country to chase a dream that’s a decade old.
Only, now that I’m here, he’s avoiding me every chance he gets. If he was anyone else, I’d cut my losses.
But this is Shane Miller—the guy who makes everything better just by existing in my universe. The guy I’d do anything for. The guy who’s more to me than a brother, a friend, or even a teammate.
I’m not going to let him get away.

Getting on here to log this, only to find I have already written a review I cannot remember for the life of me three years ago, this probably speaks volumes for how impactful this read was the first time around :D And it's still a 2.5* steamy romance :D To be honest, I sometimes struggled with telling Talon and Miller apart, but they are equally lovable, so it wasn't that big of an issue. This one is set in Football again (seriously, nobody cares about the actual sport, do they?!). CNs: homophobia, public outing, being in love with someone you think is straight for many years, a couple really shitty, greedy douches _________ Original review from 2020: Finley really writes loveable characters! It’s nice to meet previous couples in every story, even though it feels a tad forced :D there was no fake dating in this one, I missed the trope! Ultimately the kind of conflict this volume faced, I wasn’t too gripped by (some of it was a little rushed), but Miller and Talon are cute as hell and I really appreciate the queer support system that is stressed so much!
