About this listen
Newly hired Charleston Condors’ coach Jonathan Kelley is very aware of all the uphill battles he’s got to climb.
There’s a new owner he’s got to please. New culture to implement. New players to train. New rules to follow.
But one rule hasn't changed: don't spend so much time flirting with the cute bartender via text that you start to wonder if you're straight, after all.
But Kieran doesn’t just make the best drinks in Charleston, or own the Pirate’s Booty, the most fun bar in town, he’s kind and sweet and undeniably hot.
He makes Jon long for things he’s never craved, not ever before. But Jon’s never lived in fear. He goes after what he wants, and what he wants is Kieran.
Maybe this summer, the Condors won't be the only ones scoring touchdowns.

Story
Proposing to my first boyfriend at a hockey game wasn’t my smartest move. Not only does said boyfriend walk out on me, but the whole stupid thing goes viral, and it turns out the man I was dating has too many boyfriends to count. Internet fame has crowned me a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club, a name I’d do anything to escape. One thing’s for sure: I’m not making the same mistake again. No more boyfriends, just easy hookups. And I’ll start with this gorgeous catch in Seattle. The only problem…he’s a god in bed, and I’m an inexperienced mess.

Story
Rookie quarterback Riley Flynn knows what it takes to make it in the NFL. He's in Charleston to prove himself—to the world and his teammates, but mostly to his older brother, who's never believed he could be a star. The last thing he expects is for his brother's best friend, Landry, to welcome him with open arms and an offer to become roommates. Riley's always believed Landry was straight—but the way Landry keeps checking him out leaves him suddenly unsure. And Landry's hot looks certainly don't help squash the crush he's always had on his brother's best friend.

I'm the Grinch who saves Christmas… Yep, you read that right. Every year, I save Christmas—and Christmas Falls—by organizing a massive festival that sustains tourism in our little town. It turns out that when Christmas is your life 24/7, the shine wears off the twinkly lights after a while. The holidays are a heck of a lot of work, and when I go home, I want peace and quiet, not fa-la-la-ing on my porch. That all changes when my sister brings me an early Christmas gift. One I didn't ask for. One that's tall, broad, and handsome...

I’ve always been a sucker for a guy with muscles and a handsome face. If that makes me sound shallow, maybe I am. I’ve never had a real relationship, unless you consider the guys in my Marine Corps Recon unit. I had a great relationship with those guys. Yeah, yeah, I know we’re splitting hairs. These days, long after my retirement from active duty, the only kind of relationships I really do now are with fictional characters.

I’m living the dream by playing professional hockey, and I have some amazing friends. I’m happy. Really, I am. Or at least I’m trying to be. Until the night I run into Luca.

This year is my last chance to take the Titans to victory. I cost us the cup last year, but I'm not making the same mistake again. And I'm determined to get drafted by the end of this season. The success I anticipate is built on three years of razor-sharp focus and hard-earned respect. Not to mention how much of my personal life I sacrificed for hockey. The Titans trust me to lead them and I won't betray that. Nothing could possibly go wrong. Until the former love of my life and current arch nemesis, Cameron Martinez, skates back into my life.

Hi, my name is Fisher, and I'm hooked on my dad's rival. I've been in love with Hudson Nash for years, but he's too stubborn to admit he wants me, too. For a whole bunch of stupid reasons. Like the fact that I'm too young. (What's a twenty-year gap? Age is just a number, am I right?) And a virgin. (Which he could easily fix!) And maybe not the best choice, given he and my dad hate each other. (It's not that ba—Okay, it is that bad, but our love could totally rise above, right? It would be epic!)

As a kid, you don't think about the sacrifices you'll have to make for your dreams. I surrendered a carefree childhood to hours upon hours of grueling practices. Abandoned life with my family in favor of a boarding school that would hone my skills to perfection. But my biggest sacrifice, the one I couldn't predict I'd have to make as a little boy, is denying who I am. I thought I could do it. I thought hockey would be enough. After all, as the top rookie in this year's NHL draft and the most promising defender the league has seen in years, my dreams were coming true. Enter Xander Nydek.

I wasn’t a keeper. Guys just didn’t pick me, and after one too many threw me away, my heart couldn’t take it anymore. When I was traded to the Buffalo Warriors, I knew things wouldn’t be any different. Skate. Score goals. Work out. Repeat. That’s my life. I’m living the dream by playing professional hockey, and I have some amazing friends. I’m happy. Really, I am. Or at least I’m trying to be. Until the night I run into Luca.

Of all the people who could have seen me when I was at my most vulnerable, it had to be him. Caleb. My stepbrother and the golden child of our messed up blended family. We barely know each other, but for some reason, he takes care of me when an incident at the club leaves me helpless and alone. He hates me as much as I hate him, but something about his bossy attitude and unflappable calm soothes me. I don't want to want him, but no one has ever made me feel the way he does.

Hi, my name is Fisher, and I'm hooked on my dad's rival. I've been in love with Hudson Nash for years, but he's too stubborn to admit he wants me, too. For a whole bunch of stupid reasons. Like the fact that I'm too young. (What's a twenty-year gap? Age is just a number, am I right?) And a virgin. (Which he could easily fix!) And maybe not the best choice, given he and my dad hate each other. (It's not that ba—Okay, it is that bad, but our love could totally rise above, right? It would be epic!)

Fun and sweet epilogue to an amazing series
I was so excited to get John and Kieran's story, after their reveal in The Play. This is a lighter, shorter story that made a perfect epilogue to one of the best series I've ever read. I enjoyed seeing a few scenes from the previous books through Coach Kelly's eyes. I appreciate that the author gave us a bit of fan service that way without spending too much time on events that we already experienced previously in the series. It was just the right amount of getting John's perspective without feeling like I was rereading the series.
I love the way Darcy Stark narrates, bringing the characters to life with unique voices and powerful emotions.
While I don't think you have to read the series to enjoy this novella, it will have a much greater impact if you have. This series is an absolute stand out in sports romance, so I highly recommend getting the whole set!

Good addition to the series
Having listened to and read Summer Catch, I would say I enjoyed both versions, and am glad to have read/listened to it given that I've read the other books in the Charleston Condors world that Beth Bolden has so lovingly and thoughtfully created. That said, if I hadn't read the full length novels, I would probably feel a bit disappointed with this novella. It does a lot of time skipping, as in there is often a week or two that has passed between the end of one chapter and the start of another. As a result, the story feels a bit more like it's skimming the surface. It does fill in gaps and compliments the other novels, so it's worth reading alongside the others. Regarding the voice acting, I found the southern accent somewhat put on (it didn't feel fully organic) but I liked the pacing of the reading overall.

Great intro to the Condors series!
This is fun and spicy novella about Jon, the new head coach for The Charleston Condors, and Kieran, bartender & owner of The Pirate's Booty, the local bar and unofficial hangout for the Condors. Kieran is known for having a superpower that enables him to know exactly what someone *needs* to drink (as opposed to what they may want). However, Jon walks into The Pirate's Booty, Kieran's superpower fails him! After they meet and start chatting, Jon becomes comfortable enough with Kieran that they begin a friendship that is on the flirty. Jon is straight - or so he thinks, but over time and after exchanging some fun texts, do things change?
I'd say so! Jon starts to feel *things* for Kieran & he is all in with his bi-awakening! Their spicy times are spicy & their sweet times are oh so sweet. I love the mix of friendly chats, sexy times, and loving moments - usually novellas don't hit all these points well, but this one does.
Darcy Stark does a fab job of voicing the characters - Kieran has a lovely Charleston drawl, the female voice is actually well done, and Jon sounds hot. I felt the emotions these characters were experiencing & I think the narrator did a great job with that. I had more than a few happy tears during the last part of the story (during the epilogue yes, but also before).
I have read all the Condors book and was so happy to get to revisit them and to finally hear Coach Jon's/Kieran's story, which was hinted at in Deacon's bonus epilogue! Frankly, I think I need to go reread all the books right now because I just love all these boys.
What to Expect:
* football
* Charleston setting
* football coach MC + bartender/bar owner MC
* bi-awakening
* first times
* intro to the Condors/cameos
* low angst

I love this series
All of the books in this series are good. This is kind of a prequel and kind of not since it involves Kieran at our favorite local bar hangout and the coach Jonathan. I loved this insight into who the coach may or may not have been seeing through the entire series! These two are perfect and Darcy Stark did a great job as usual bringing these characters to life. Loved it!!!

Coach's Romance!
Love this series, but best for last! I love it when the coach finds love and I was very pleased it was with our sweet bartender not a player! Coach has never been into guys before, so we get all the cute first desires and feelings here. Such a quick, easy and fluffy romance to round everything to an end. Darcy Stark is the voice of this series, sweet narration.

A sweet story - by Shana W
This is a sweet, low angst short story about Kieran, a bar owner, and Jonathan, the new coach for the Condors, a football team. Although Jon insists to Kieran that he is straight when they first meet, he cannot seem to resist the bartender, who is so sweet, kind and good looking. Kieran is attracted to Jon upon meeting him. The two of them start texting and then getting together socially, causing Jon to learn some things about his sexuality that he never knew. The story is entertaining and the characters are well developed and likable.
I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by Darcy Stark. His voice was pleasant to listen to and his pacing and expression were very good.
I received an audiobook copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Great novella!
I've been so excited to see Kieran and Coach Jon get their romance, and it did not disappoint. I appreciated the growth of their feelings as they communicated, often through text messages. Both were very likable, and together, they were sexy and fun. The story is great, and the narrator of the audio version gave a very good performance. This was a satisfying entry in a series I love.

Sweet glimpse into these two’s story. Loved it!
I love this series, so as soon as I got an Audible notification of this novella being available, I instantly downloaded. Perfect short story!! Takes place as a prequel - the beginning of building the team. Beth Bolden has never disappointed. Can’t wait for the new series.

Great MM Contemporary Story set in the USA
I've read this author before but not this series, cos its NFL football and as an Australian I know nothing about the sport. This book only lightly mentions the sport. I listened to the audiobook. The main characters in this Novella were Bar Owner Kieran and new Head Coach Jonathan. Both mature characters and with Jonathan discovering his true sexuality, there was no rush to coming out. One narrator with different voices for each character as great.
