I NEED more stars!!! How am I going to possibly write a review that will do this books justice? It's everything I wanted in a follow up plus so much more!!!
-----------------------------------------------
I cannot lie. When I found out that there was going to be another book for Wes and Jamie I was both excited and scared. Excited because, seriously, I don't think I could get enough of them. Scared because what if the new book didn't live up to my expectations? What if this became one of those stories that should have just ended with one book?

If you are having these same doubts and fears before diving in, STOP. This book is EVERYTHING you could hope for and so much more. I was basically hooked from the very first pages and once I started reading, I couldn't stop.

First of all, this book is extremely hot. Like, hands in your pants hot. But it was about so much more than sex. Much like the first book this one was just an honest to goodness love story. This time around though Jamie and Wes have settled into their relationship but are now having to deal with keeping it a secret until the end of the season. When one of Wes' teammates moves in upstairs it might not be that easy. Blake, the new neighbor, is certainly an interesting, and hilarious addition to the situation and I'm really hoping to get his story. I believe we get clues that this is going to happen. *fingers crossed*

Some familiar faces show up to round out the whole mess that has become their lives. Jamie's family plays an important role in their story and Wes' dad makes an appearance and there is sort of a resolution for that whole situation so that was a bonus.

I found myself getting really emotional while reading about the struggles that Wes and Jamie were dealing with, even if it was due to their decision to keep their sexuality under wraps temporarily. Imagine having to hide the love of your life or possibly risk everything you've been working for your whole life. Yes, choosing love seems like the easy answer but things aren't always so cut and dry. I just kept waiting for the shoe to drop or for Jamie to walk away. Things definitely didn't go down in a way that I could've ever imagined but somehow instead they happened exactly the way they were meant to.

This story was sexy, sweet, sad and hilarious all wrapped into one of the sweetest romances I've ever read. I hope that Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy continue to collaborate because together their writing is flawless.

*I received an ARC from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review
