I absolutely loved this and couldn’t put it down. I wish I had more. An extra epilogue, something!!!!
We’ve seen football and sports romances all before but this one felt new. It felt fresh and different and I loved that.
Wes is a quiet, soft spoken gentle giant. He is a cowboy, plays football and is becoming the schools star and “it guy” but in the closet.
Justin is a dancer, out, and wants a break from Texas and cowboys. So naturally he meets a Texas cowboy during a learning exchange program in Paris. One that goes to his exact school.
The two quickly fall into a summer insta love romance. They are all in when they get to campus, but need to keep it secret since Wes isn’t out.
It was a wonderful love story of opposites, sports romance, summer love, and second chances.
I just FELT so much reading this. I felt like I was inside of this story and that’s one of the things with TB’s writing I love.
