Blurb: A year ago, Kelly Cannon couldn’t imagine he’d end up with his formerly straight best friend. It’s hard to believe he can finally kiss Blue anytime he wants… as long as they’re in private. And there’s the rub. Despite Kelly’s promise to wait until Blue is ready to come out, he’s tired of sneaking around. The cracks in their relationship are starting to show, and there might not be enough spackle in the world to fix them.
Britton “Blue” Montgomery may not be the physics brainiac his boyfriend is, but he’s not stupid. He knows Kelly isn’t completely happy, but he’s not ready to be the poster boy for bisexuals and gays in the NFL. He just wants to keep his head down, play the game he loves, and go home to the man he adores. Is that too much to ask?
With the truth slowly coming to the surface, Blue must make a choice. If it means losing Kelly, there’s no decision to make. He has to find enough courage to face the music and hope they’ll survive the fallout.
Man. Happily-ever-afters may not be just for Disney princesses, but they sure are a lot of work.
Review: Remember a book called The Blueprint? We talked about it earlier in the year. Well, it’s time to bring it up again since the second part of the story is on the way. I’ll help you refresh your memory.
It’s a friends-to-lovers story about a university professor and a closeted football player. For the player, it’s also a gfy situation. He is only attracted to his best friend but classifies himself as bi since his best friend is a guy. The first book was about the beginning of Kelly and Blue’s romantic relationship, them realising that they want to be together, and the road to get there.
The second book picks up about a year later and deals with the challenges of being in a secret relationship. The plot is relationship focused and any angst there is stems from the secrecy they have to live with. There are some nice secondary characters and some not so nice, but that just made it more real. There is quite a bit of jealousy, and it’s written in a way that does NOT make it seem over the top.
I’m sorry to say goodbye to this couple. I liked their story very much, and I was glad we got two books with them instead of just one. Both of them were likeable characters; they had real reactions, real problems and real flaws. I liked the way the story was told and, as with every book by S.E. Harmon, I laughed out loud many times. I can’t wait to see what this author’s next book will be about!
