OK, people, this one ends on a gut-wrenching cliffhanger. But I LOVED it.
Two Olympic gymnasts - so, FIT bodies; great premise! One of them is in the closet, the other is out and proud. Yet, we learn that they each have their troubles.
The timidity is super sweet. The steam super hot.
It was fun to see the Olympics from the athletes' perspective too. I felt like I was there, and was cheering for the whole team. Except Luke's parents who were just jerks.
There was a great mix of characters too, including best friends. And the banter was full-on. And oh, the puggles!!
I was so invested in these characters. They kept me awake. I HAD to keep reading to see how it'd all pan out.
A thrilling tale of secret love. And an awesome debut!

So, book 1 ended on that cliffhanger. And, tbh, I really went off Luke at the start. I understood his reasons, but seriously, get SOME contact. How much did he really want Cam? I just wanted to shake him by his burly shoulders!
It does get a bit D obsessed - all the characters. But it's kinda fun.
Could Luke's mum really be so easily redeemed? "She hadn't been that bad." Um, yeah she had, dude!
BUT stick with it as there's a payoff.
Always in love and light,
