Publisher's Summary

Matt Lancaster is the star quarterback at Bodine College, a small Southern Division II school with an ultra-conservative dean of athletics. Matt is also very much in the closet, and he thinks he’s kept his secret well hidden, until his best friends take him to a happy endings massage parlor and request a male masseuse for him.

In walks Trevor Kim, a gorgeous, pierced, tattooed fellow Bodine student who does massages - without happy endings - to pay for school after his family kicked him out for being gay. Trevor takes one look at Matt and breaks all his own rules about mixing business with pleasure.

Matt needs to keep his scholarship, win the National Championship, and survive his asshole father. Instead, he falls in love. Trevor needs to accept that the football god is meant to end up with him rather than a perky cheerleader. It’s time for a "happily ever after" for both of them.

There's nothing like Southern Football Culture...

This has definitely been one I've listened to more than once; I absolutely love it! It certainly captures the almost cultlike obsession with football (college football especially) that one finds in many areas of the South, while entwining that with a sweet, sometimes slightly angsty (because of the ol' closet) m/m romance, and some *very* nice steamy parts (especially the little roleplaying bit). Matt and Trevor each have their strengths and flaws, as does their romance, and it comes across as believable and understandable to me (even when I want to just shake them both into some sense then smoosh them together like a kid playing out a romance between two Ken dolls, lol).

I also love Greg Boudreaux's narration (as always), and marvel at the way he manages to do not just southern accents but *different* southern accents-- the ones he uses in this book are different from ones he uses in other books set in a different area of the South, which is honestly rather rare to see (well, hear). As a NC native (and a fan of how he captured one of the dialects I grew up, in other books), I quite appreciate that distinction.

Too good

A closeted college kid's dream love story come to life. Great storyline, well rounded characters and just the right amount of steamy moments that listeners love.

Good choice for my first audible….

Love this … It’s a Cinderella love story with a happy ending. I’d recommend it to anyone.

Loved it !

So hot and heart warming too... Boudreau's narration was very well done and the story line was engaging to say the least!

I will definitely check out their other work. This is my first audible performance and am impressed by the quality.
