This book had me on the edge of my seat! For the first time in a while I cried at a book and was genuinely cheering at every sweet moment. The characters were awesome and unbelievably sweet, especially the dads. I really liked how author explored the relationships with their parents, friends, etc. and it really added to the story.

I wish that Justin had some of his own friends in the book because it kinda seemed like he didn't since they were never mentioned. I also thought the beginning was kinda slow but the rest of the book had me gripping my heart with fear, sadness, and joy. Really good overall, but I won't be reading the next book (probably) because the Colton/Justin's dad situation is a little too weird for me too enjoy lol

A sweet and spicy insta-love with a closeted jock and a secret that comes crashing down. If only real life could have a HEA that involves out pro sports players.
