Publisher's Summary

Maddox - The reason I rarely go home is three simple words: I'm a liar.

When the pressure to marry my childhood sweetheart became too much, I told her I was gay and then fled to New York like my ass was on fire.

Now, five years later and after a drunken encounter, I find myself invited to her wedding. And I have to bring my boyfriend-the boyfriend who doesn't exist because I'm straight.

At least, I think I am. Meeting the guy I'm bribing to be my boyfriend for the weekend makes me question everything about myself.

Damon - When my sister asks me to pretend to be some straight guy's boyfriend, my automatic response is to say no. It's because of guys like him people don't believe me when I tell them I'm gay.

But Maddox has something I need.

After an injury that cost me my baseball career, I'm trying to leave my playing days behind and focus on being the best sports agent I can be. Forty-eight hours with my sister's best friend in exchange for a meeting with a possible client. I can do this.

I just wish he wasn't so hot. Or that he didn't kiss like he means it.

Wait... why is the straight guy kissing me?

Contains mature themes.

Meh.

OK story. Nothing exceptional or noteworthy. Honestly, I'm not a fan. Narrators are both good.

Struggling to get through this.

I’m still on chapter 12 but surprised I’ve made it this far in. It’s like listening to a cartoon story. I wish the voice characterization actually sounds like the personas as described. Hard to imagine a hot athletic guy if he sounds like a cartoon character. Still, I’ll see it through because I paid for it.

Toe-curling squeals of joy

Such a fun listen!! One critique is that every once in a while the “guy talk” didn’t quite feel believable. But the story is so fun, sexy, and the characters have great chemistry. It’s also touching and vulnerable, but without being agonizingly angsty. Just enough “drama” to give the characters depth and dimension.
Like another review said, sometimes from the narration it was difficult to tell who was speaking, but it was easy enough to figure out within the context.

Sweet and Romantic

I loved the characters and that it wasn't just about the shock of it being a same sex couple. it was about falling in love and how scary that can be.

enjoyed the story

I enjoyed the story and exploration but had trouble following with the narration of both men, when they would talk as other men or women the voices would not change and it was sometimes difficult to figure out who was talking

An easy and fun story!!

Great narration, I could get lost in the sounds of those manly voices. This story is full of laughs and relatable moments.

Almost no sports in this sports romance

The love story felt kind of immature. They went on a fake date, realized they liked each other, fought the attraction, gave in to lust, got together, the end. Not much happening in the story. And the characters randomly went off on Canada sucking which was unappreciated. I also felt like the two male narrators voices were a bit too similar and hard to distinguish at points.

Definitely not my favourite.

This one really disappointed me. Based on the blurb, I was excited to read it, but it fell decidedly short.

The characters read as very young (younger than their early twenties) and awfully immature. The dialogue was youthful and quick, which would have made for good banter if it were written more maturely and with more dialogue tags. Honestly, there were times in which I had no idea who was talking, and I found it very frustrating.

There were a lot of repetitive cyclical thought processes that became boring after a while. Also, I really didn't like the obvious discrimination against vegetarians, women, and Canada in this book.

Overall, not my favourite. Won't listen to it again, and I won't recommend it.
