The guy who broke my heart is back and teaching at my school. I'm really trying not to give an F.

A long time ago, in a suburban high school not so far away, a closeted nerd (me) and a closeted soccer star (Hutch) fell in love and planned to make their public debut at prom. Until Hutch bailed at the last minute, leaving me with a broken heart and unworn tuxedo. Tale as old as time, right?

I spent the past ten years working to forget Hutch, returning to our old high school to teach and make new memories that could erase ones of him. I thought Hutch was ancient history, off living his professional athlete life. But he's suddenly back in Sourwood, coaching soccer at South Rock High, and sexy as ever. Just when I'd gotten over him, we're now colleagues.

As Hutch leads the soccer team to victory once again, and we find ourselves trading stolen glances in the halls, it feels like a reboot of our high school bad romance. Especially after a late night encounter where I find myself climbing him like the rope in gym class. Oops.

Hutch wants to give us another try, but what if history is doomed to repeat itself?

Contains mature themes.

What a great start to the South Rock High series. I loved the prequel novella, Getting Schooled, and Ancient History was even better. I love Amos! He's so cute and funny and him and Hutch are just everything together. I loved seeing them get their happy ending. They both deserved it and were both over due for some happiness. The characters in this series are wonderful, great plot, and love the small town of Sourwood. Very much looking forward to Everett and Raleigh's book.

Fave quote: Amos 58% "I looked up at the window. Pure ecstasy waited for me in that window. Time to Romeo and Juliet the f*** out of this."
Amos cracks me up, too cute and too funny, just love him!

Iggy Toma did a fantastic job!

Loved it!

This is my first MM book from a male author and I loved it so much. I as a gay man loved it so much and I listen to many MM books written by women and this was a breath of fresh air. I loved this book so much and loved the story and characters. They were so cute and sexy. I loved everything about this book and can't wait to read the next book. I give this book 10/10

One of the best MM books

AJ Truman does an awesome job of developing complex characters that quickly become endearing to the reader. The South Rock series (including this one) immediately draws in the reader. I have read the entire series, and each of the books are definitely worth the time and money. The narrator does a great job reading the story, including varying the voice used for the different characters. Give AJ Truman's works a chance...you definitely will NOT be disappointed!

Awesome Series...Will NOT be disappointed

This was so much fun to listen to. All of the characters were important to the story. Even if they would have been considered minor, their involvement was still very supportive to the story. I laughed so much at the cleverness written into both the plot and the dialogue. Definitely something worth the listen. I’m getting ready to start book .

Fantastic

Stupid me…. Despite my love of the author and narrator, I refused to listen because I didn’t want to hear a romance between high school kids. Later, I realized it was about the high school teachers. ;)

After an injury, professional soccer player, Hutch, returned to his old high school to coach the sport to the students. Inevitably, he runs into Amos, one of the teachers who used to be a student when he attended. Amos also used to be his secret boyfriend. Is there still a flame between them?

I felt uncomfortable with how closeted teenage Hutch dumped Amos. I understand it was difficult for an athlete to come out back then. Regardless, I wasn’t sure I could trust him. I was not invested in this relationship. Also, there were things in the story that did not make sense.

While this book was not for me, I have become obsessed with this series.
