I've had this book for ages but only now decided to give it a go. My tbr pile is quite big and I keep reading the more recent books and leaving the older ones behind. This book was not what I was expecting, it made my laugh out loud and I really liked the characters. Once in a while, unexpected, a book will surprise you in the best of ways. This is one of them.

This story was confusing. It sounded like Dillon was the homophobic gymnast in the closet. We're given the impression that Max another gymnast is straight and had a girlfriend, and that he isn't gay. Max knows Dillon is in the closet, but we never get the indication that Max is gay. At the end we find out that Max is gay and was also in the closet. But I get the feeling he feels superior to Dillon because he never acted like a homophobe.

So this story was more than a bit confusing for me. show more

The locker room sex was hot :) show less

While I finished this in pretty much sitting, I did find it hard going.
I did not feel the connection between the characters and found there was no tension or build up.

They're in a relationship right from the get go and I guess the whole plot line is about them coming to terms with being gay and being out as sportsmen in the public eye.

However, for me reading this as a romance novel, I wanted romance complete with hot sexy times, some passion and feelings. Fritzy was just too stoic, too show more bland and gave nothing at all away. Mac was ok, but had some rather over the top moments that seemed a little out of character. I wanted to be a little more uplifted too, and some of the plot left me feeling pretty sad and a bit depressed.

I finished it and it ends pretty well, but as a whole the book just didn't do it for me. show less

No big deal but I loved having such a different main character; the crazy homophobic and closeted one hahaha.
