About this listen
It's time to leave college and the closet behind.
Nathan Rhodes has put hockey first for most of his life, but as graduation looms, he has a different goal in mind. He needs to come out and reclaim his first love. If only Caleb will believe him....
Theater geek Caleb Stockwell gave up on love when his boyfriend chose the closet over being with an openly bisexual guy. Now, he hides his heartbreak behind a string of casual hookups. He loves the drama on stage, but he’s done with the drama of Nathan Rhodes. For good.
Nathan is determined to right the wrongs of four years ago, but the clock is ticking.
One month until he and Caleb go their separate ways. One month to take a final shot at winning Caleb's heart back.
Win or lose, everything is on the line.

Don’t play dirty. That’s the code I live by on and off the field. The other?Don’t get distracted. Not by the media, not by hookups, and definitely not by our rival team’s ridiculously charming star player, who loves to whisper dirty nothings to me every time we play ball. And sure, his offers are tempting, but he’s the love ‘em and leave ‘em type, and I want the real thing.

Being traded to the Seattle Vipers has left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, they’re my team, the team I’ve loved and supported since I was a kid, but on the other hand, he’s here. Him. Ant Decker. Infamous NHL bad boy. Right wing to my left. A man who’s made it his sole purpose in life to be better than me.

The Only Reason I Finished is the Narrators

Now, years later, the two find themselves at the same college. Caleb is furious, but Nathan wants a second chance. It is clear that the intense feelings are still there, but even though Nathan is ready to come out, Caleb is still hurting over their past.
This was such a sweet read. These boys care so much for one another, but the past is haunting them. When I got to the part of their senior prom my heart was breaking right along with Caleb. We get both points of view, which definitely helps us understand the whole situation.
James Edward Jones does a great job narrating Caleb and Nathan (as he always does). And I thoroughly enjoyed his voice this book. This was a fast listen and I can’t wait to check out more in this series.

Well worth the read to find out where these two started and where they end up.
Highly developed characters that you can connect with immediately. The narrative created around them as they are about to graduate college and starting their adult lives is the best place to start for any series. It lets the characters look at their past and analyze it and decide what their future looks like. Using this as a starting point also allows a writer to have a lot of room for future growth or digression.
I had assumed this would be a high angst book however I was pleasantly surprised that it was on any medium angst. After the two main characters re-introduction to each other there was minimal angst at that point and much more openness to forgiveness.
Definitely a feel good book at the end of the day and I can’t wait for the next in the series.
Second chances are worth it!

2nd times the charm

What Nathan did was pretty horrible but this is a romance so I had to trust that things would work out OK. The story goes back and forth between their senior year of high school and their senior year at college. The time shifts were clearly marked and I didn’t have any trouble with the shifts.
This was a story that really got my emotions involved. It was hard to hear what Caleb went through in high school but it was also hard to learn why Nathan did what he did.
I believe this is the first audiobook I’ve listened to by James Edward Jones and I thought he did a great job. I would definitely listen to more books performed by him.
A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.
I enjoyed this a lot.
