Double Full by Kindle Alexander

5.0

ARC received for honest review

Double Full starts with a bang – and what a bang it is!! This is my first full m/m book I have read and I am definitely going to be reading more.

Colt and Jace have been on the periphery of each others lives for years, both attracted to the other but neither of them did anything about it. Jace is the out and proud cheerleader, Colt is the deep-in-the-closet football star.

When Colt finally makes that move, it starts a romance that neither of them ever expected.


After a whirlwind holiday, things are looking great for them, until interference from Colt's father separates them, seemingly for good. Colt is a star quarterback, ready for the NFL draft. Football is still not OK with homosexuality, so to protect Colt's career (and his own financial gain) his father threatens to hurt Jace if Colt sees him again :(

A decade later, Colt is a football superstar, drowning his sorrows in booze drugs and casual sex. Jace has built up a successful cheerleader coaching gym. Yet neither has forgotten those 5 spectacular days they spent together.


They have both kept track of the other’s careers over the years.

They have both kept track of the other’s careers over the years, wondering "what if" and "if only".

Enter a Russian supermodel wannabe, latching herself to Colt to raise her profile. Ugh, what a bitch! Colt, for her I want to bitch slap you
Seriously, what the hell were you thinking????

And as for Colt's father -- what a douche, really! Riding the wave of his son's success for the past decade, bleeding him dry financially, ruining his only chance for true and lasting love. I really despised him!

When Colt and Jace's lives cross paths again, can the hurt of the past be forgotten so they can have their forever? Will the people who tried to keep them apart keep trying?

"I'm willing to spend the rest of my life showing you how much you mean to me. I’ll work every single day to be the man you deserve, but let me make love to you tonight. Let me know what it’s like to feel you again. Please."

Double full had my emotions all over the place. I was happy, I was sad, I was angry, I was heartbroken, I was happy, I was relieved, I was sad again. There were "woo hoo" moments, there were "WTF" moments. I cannot confirm nor deny that there was some ugly crying involved.

Kindle Alexander has written such a wonderful love story. I was completely drawn in from the first page, and could not put the book down until I was finished.

I love Colt! I love Jace! I need more!! This is the first book in a series, but there is no cliffhanger.
