But I always knew right away who’s POV I was reading from right away. Sometimes in dual POV stories, the characters start to blend together. I love that Bowen & Kennedy maintained unique voices for the characters.I really connected with this situation as I’ve lived through something similar and I felt like it was handled so well. And Wes, not knowing how to handle the situation, becomes to scared to talk about anything serious. But not because he is too scared to talk, but because he is clearly suffering from depression. After being extremely ill, Jamie begins to shut down. I normally hate the miscommunication trope but in this context it actually worked.The ending of this book had my heart ready to burst. I love them so much and want the world for these characters. Wes and Jamie’s relationship is one of the most precious things I’ve ever read.This book is really steamy in true Bowen & Kennedy fashion.Ĭontent Warnings: Depression, Homophobia What I Liked

This book was a lot heavier than I thought it was going to be – in the best way! This book was not only a steamy romance but discussed illness, depression, social pressures, homophobia, and a slew of other important topics. Their secret is more threatened than ever and neither Jaime or Wes know how much longer they can hide it. The secrecy is getting to both of them but it is heightened even more when one of Wes’s teammates moves into their apartment complex.

But their relationship is still a secret until the season is over. Wes is in the middle of his rookie year and playing amazingly well. This follows Wes and Jamie a few months after the conclusion of book 1. I can’t recommend this series enough! If you love a steamy romance, check out this duet asap! This is the second book in the series so it contains spoilers for book 1.
