Archer:
The year began great for me.
Became the starting quarterback for an NFL team—check.
Secured a multi-million-dollar contract—check.
Moved to LA and lived the glamorous life—check.
What could possibly cause me any issues?
Oh yeah, one more thing. I'm gay.
I was outed a couple of years ago to my former team and my family, but it hasn't been made public knowledge yet. Well, that is, until now. I'll be known as the first LGBTQ+ active player in the league's history. And if I stick to the conditions of my contract, it won't be a problem. The thing is, I'm not really a guy known for playing by the rules.
Most people think of my personality as the three B's: bold, brash, and blunt. My mouth has gotten me into more predicaments than I can count. Even my best friends have told me I'm stubborn as a mule and have the delicacy of a bull in a china shop. This presents a big problem for me, because I have my eyes set on winning over the guy who stole my heart years ago, only he doesn't know it yet.
Getting his attention is going to be challenging. It's a good thing I'm tenacious.
Unfortunately, it's not great timing, and could get me into a whole mess of trouble.
Why does falling for a guy need to be anyone's business but mine?
Kai:
The past couple of years were a whirlwind of activity. My career took off after my guest shot appearance in Americana. I appeared in a few indie features and finally got a shot at my first major motion picture release. The work came as a great distraction from my personal life, which took a further nosedive after I found out the guy I was falling for had already fallen for someone else.
Why should I be surprised? He was another in a string of failed relationship attempts. I swore I wouldn't get involved with anyone else, choosing to stay focused on my career instead. That is, until the force of nature known as Archer McMillan came storming into my life.
To be the pursued instead of the pursuer was not in the cards. To top it off, he's everything I'm not. Yet, there's something to be said for a guy who can make you laugh when it's the last thing you want to be doing. I'll admit he's got a playful and determined spirit. Archer also has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I've ever known. Not the mention the cute way he…Hold on. What am I doing? We cannot be a thing. Nope. Not gonna happen. Ever. Right?
Follow Kai and Archer as they cross the lines as friends and partners-in-crime to discovering a love beyond boundaries that needs no definition.

Although this is a standalone, I think I need to go and get the first two books in the series.
I look forward to book 4. Good listen.
Good engaging story

With Kai, Bradford's writing presents a problem, in my opinion. It’s obvious Kai is having trouble forming a truly intimate relationship with Archer due to something in his past, but the reader is only given tiny hints of what’s causing it. Bradford should have revealed this by the end of the book. Let readers know in the first book, so they can better empathize in the second while Kai and Archer’s love conquers all.
That quibble aside, it DOESN'T mean I hate the book and I look forward to reading the next installment.
Narration by Cory H Bennson is great. I feel he did a good job at conveying the distinct personalities of both Archer and Kai.

The narrator was okay. It wasn’t always easy to tell who was talking or switch in characters just by voice but it wasn’t bad.
Okay story….lots of potential

It is a full-length audiobook at just a little over 14hrs that focuses on Archer and Kai's kind of, sort of, head over heals, time will tell relationship - lol -
Yeah it is that complicated
Archer is so... naive is not the word I am looking for but it is in so many ways, you'll see what I mean. Archer is missing that brain-to-mouth filter so many of us have and he also tends to act without thinking -
Which gets him in so many predicaments.
However, despite those quirks, he is probably one of the most loveable characters I have come across. He loves with everything he has. He doesn't mince words or hide behind false niceties - Not always a good thing -which is reflected in the messes he keeps finding himself in - but it is never done with ill intent
When the opportunity to hook up with Kai is presented - he grasps it and gives it all he has
Kai has been hurt before when it comes to his sexuality and relationships. He does not intend to go back into the closet but even he can't resist Archer. Kai is hesitant but he desires what Archer brings to their "tentative" no strings let's see where it goes relationship
This is a tissue and teddy read at times.
The bias that Archer faces and the at times cruel treatment he undergoes broke my heart.
At the same time, he never loses the pep in his step - which just endeared him to me more
Great secondary characters that brought so much to the story
Lots of humor, heartache, and hope
I could babble for days
This is to be continued ...
Solid Narration that brought the story to life
