Summary
Jeremy
Seeing my best friend West happy with his fiancé opened my eyes to things I’ve been missing in my own marriage. My divorce, which was amicable, followed. Strangely, at West’s wedding, I find myself confiding in Darren, the straight, confirmed bachelor and star quarterback of the Atlanta Lightning. Darren is a full-steam-ahead kind of guy, and one talk leads to hanging out, swapping phone numbers, and pranking West and Anson while they’re on their honeymoon. When I head back to California, I expect our chats to end, but I couldn’t be more wrong.
Darren
I still can’t say how it happened, how a random decision to strike up a conversation with Jeremy turned into...whatever this is. All I know is, months later, my days aren’t complete until we tell each other good night. Whether it’s on our calls or when he flies to Atlanta, we talk about everything, lying awake together half the night. Jeremy’s got me feeling...different. If it was just my newly discovered bisexuality, that’d be one thing. I’m not one to stress about being into a man for the first time. It’s the other stuff, the way he makes my pulse race and my heart swell, that’s throwing me for a loop.
I didn’t think I was made for relationships; I thought something inside me was broken, but I want it all with him. Except, it feels like as soon as we make it past one obstacle, there’s an even bigger one waiting for us. We just have to keep our heads in the game and our eyes on the prize to make it to the end zone, before one last tackle takes us down for good.

Both narrators were really great
I really enjoyed this, possibly more than book 1, it felt very very like book 1 in the personalities of the characters and how certain things played out but overall a really good listen

Enjoyable Listening
An enjoyable low angst love story, not much depth to, but a great summer
read/listen while soaking up the sun. I like joint POV books and enjoyed the performers I thought they did a really good job.

Good book
I enjoyed this, but not as much as the first book in the series. I liked the characters and the plot, but it didn’t drag me in emotionally as much as it could. Still good, though! The narrators were good, but although Benjamin Charles has a lovely voice when speaking as his character, he needs to work on his voices when other characters are speaking as it was difficult to tell who was speaking which also meant I didn’t get as engaged in the book as I could have. Looking forward to more books in this series as the quality is a step above Riley Hart’s previous work, and above many others in this genre.

Great story and a heartfelt performance
I won a copy of this audiobook while I was reading the e-book.
Overall, I thought this was an enjoyable audiobook. I liked the story (it’s book 2 in a series, but can work as a standalone, I think.)
I liked the main characters a lot. Even if you aren’t into sports (I am, but know very little about football), it’s easy to understand their respective motivations and struggles. I thought the plot moved along too. The book alternates between the main characters’ points of view and the audiobook has two different voice actors for that reason. They have very different voices so it’s always clear whose POV the listener is getting.
The voice for one of the characters was different to what I’d imagined, so it took a couple of chapters to get used to that. There’s nothing wrong with it - the actor is excellent and once I’d acclimatised, I was swept along by the story. It’s a very satisfying listen.

Carbon copy of book 1.
Do not read this novel right after series 1. It is exactly the same, except the protagonists are absolutely shallow. Darren plays football, is a people pleaser with a close bond to his family and no father. He starts a secret relationship because he identified as straight and his close friends wonder about his behavior. He texts constantly with Jeremy and they use nicknames.
There was one difference with book 1: Darren was the one always making jokes about how good he was at sex.
It was really hard to trick myself into thinking these were other people. And now imagine those two characters often meeting up with their copy's from the first book. It made the confusion complete.
Narration was alright.
