This was a very well written story. It was the typical man meets man, man falls into instant lust/love with man, has sex and a relationship with only some bumps in the road.This was a full out man wasn't looking for relationship meets sweet, lovable boy/man and falls head over ass in love. They encounter serious issues not just bumps. Some it is settled too easily, but it wouldn't be fiction if it was entirely lifelike.Adam and Colin are both soccer players on the same team. Adam was recently, reluctantly transferred to this team. He doesn't want to be there and plans to only finish the season. Things start to change after he meets Colin and slowly progresses over the remainder of the season. While the realistic aspects of a male soccer player being out and proud are slim, the author makes it work. Yes, the team and their teammates accept it too easily but again this is fiction. They encounter opposition from the outside and this is realistic. (I live in the city the story is set in...it would most likely be a little worse or a lot better depending on the area they lived in.) They face another more critical point toward the end of the story that made Adam realize he has finally settled and grow up due to this move.Adam is a hot, sexy soccer player, Colin is a sweet, sees the best in everyone adorable soccer player...there is nothing NOT to love about this book. Well at least for me, soccer is one of my favorite fangirl sports and I live in the City the book is set in. I will definitely look for other and future books from Ryan Loveless.
