As I write this review, I've just finished the first two books of the ALL FOR THE GAME trilogy - and they're both excellent.  Main and sub-characters are extremely well developed, and continue to grow through the series.This is a story about a varied group of young adults (college age) who had somewhat (to horrifically) broken childhoods.  They're misfits who are brought together through a sport, while continuing to encounter setbacks.  As the relationships between the characters evolve, we slowly learn more about their past and how it has brought them to where they are.The first two books contain several gay characters, but no M/M romance and no erotica of any type.  Book two contains some violence, but we see more of the aftermath than get dragged through the details.  It's necessary to advance the story, not gratuitous.The two initial books are full-sized novels; presumably the third will be as well:The Foxhole Court - 4058 locationsThe Raven King - 5035 locationsThe final book in the trilogy, The King's Men, is expected to be released in January, 2014 (according to a blog post by the author on Nov 15, 2013).  These are not standalone books - readers will want to read them all, in order.I complain a lot about eBook prices; this may be the first time I've ever suggested a price.increase.  I purchased book one for free, and book two for $0.99.  This seems too low given the high quality of the writing and story.  Perhaps maintain the free price for book one, but sell books 2 and 3 for $3.99 or $4.99.  I would happily pay that amount in return for this author's fine work.
