I donât have a lengthly review for this one. Iâve read the majority of the books in the pepper espinoza/vivien dean/jamie craig âBoys of the Zodiacâ series and this one has been on my to-read-wishlist for a long time. So I thought, why not?
I like interracial and sports romances, so I was looking forward to reading this. Iâm also a fan of Pepperâs work; sheâs one of the first m/m authors I started reading when I got into the genre. Plus, Iâm a sagittarius and had to get it, mostly for that ;)
Ummmmmmm
This was a solid read. My only complaints is that I wish there had been more relationship development between DeShawn and Patton. And I wouldâve liked more of DeShawnâs POV. From the blurb, youâd expect a relatively equal alternating POV, but it was mostly just Patton contemplating his life as an aging athlete. I wouldâve like less of the technical mumbo-jumbo about the american football games they played, which would be lost on anyone who wasnât extremely familiar with the sport. I just continued reading pretending like I knew what was going on, like I mostly do when I attempt to watch sports. Live or on TV. The pages were scrolling away and they were still playing football at the 15% mark and I was nervous nothing was going to be resolved. The MCs were two closeted athletes, that alone couldâve created the drama that the football games lacked. I know itâs not always about the drama, but Iâm sure itâd be more exciting that reading about a football game.
Their story ended on a such happy-for-now note (and it feels like nothing was really resolved), that Iâd like to read more about them again.
3 stars.
