Ryder

It's a cliche' really, falling in love with my best friend, my very straight best friend. And to add more complications, I'm a football player, about to be drafted. We're manly men. We aren't supposed to be gay. But I am and I love the one person I'll never have. Until fate forces us together six years later. It'll be both a fantasy and hell on earth, playing along Crush—the only man who will ever truly own my heart.

Crush

He dropped a bomb on me. Then he left, never looking back. Our friendship—ruined until he lands back in my life. His presence is just as big as ever. I never forgot him, or what that one kiss so many years ago still does to my body. He's here, but is he willing to stay?

MY REVIEW

To say Crush is not happy Ryder's now on HIS football team is a major understatement. And Ryder gets it, he really does. After all, he's the one who dropped a kiss on his at the time best friend, then left for fear Crush (Christopher) would reject him. But they have to be professionals, and as their coach said, get their heads on straight, if they want to remain on the team. So for both their sakes, they need a serious talk to happen.

Crush was devastated when Ryder left after dropping a huge revelation on him. But he himself could have reached out in the years since, and didn't. He knew where Ryder was, as they were both in the league, but he didn't reach out, so the severed relationship is his fault, too. And now his once best friend is back, playing on his team, and his feelings for him are more confused than ever. Could he, a straight, divorced single dad actually be attracted to his out former best friend? Being on the same team, that question is liable to get answered pretty damn quickly.

This is a great gfy, coming out, former friends to lovers story. I loved Ryder and how accepting he was, how he gave Crush the space he needed, and didn't push or judge, and I loved Crush's adorable little girl, Brooklyn. The team is wonderful, too, mostly accepting, and it gave the story a non-angsty feel, which is appreciated. Really the only thing I was less than impressed with was Crush himself, he's a jerk for the most part, and Crush's hideous ex. Aside from those two things (characters), I liked this start to a new series, and I cannot wait for Dallas' story next.
