Catching Kalen by Britt Andrews, Maya Nicole
4.0
Very good M/M book!
Both Maya Nicole and Britt Andrews are fantastic authors on their own, so I knew this would be a great book. They did not disappoint. The emotions they write into these characters are true and raw. Kalen, is a rising junior in college that is looking to get drafted into the big leagues. When his name is not called on draft night he finds himself at the local bar. College classes are not his strong suit, so not getting drafted means taking a summer course to up his GPA. With this on his mind, his buddies and the girls are the last thing he wants to deal with. So while getting drunk at the bar he meets a guy who buys him a drink. A drink turns into something he has never thought about. Monroe sees a guy that calls to him in every way. Knowing this guy is straight doesn’t stop his thoughts one bit. The next week Kalen walks into his summer class, to find Monroe the professor…things change and Kalen has to face some hard questions. The book really does draw you in, so I am not going to give away anymore. These characters and their story felt real, and the supportive characters helped make this just as much. Not just another college M/M sports story, it has depth and heart.
4.5/star 3/spice
