About this item

Alex: I'm the starting quarterback for the Portland Pirates, and I have a thing for my son's teacher. Except I didn't know the cute blond on the beach with the giant dog was my kid's teacher until two months later at Open House.

Christian took my breath away during my vacation and introduced me to things I never knew could feel so good and be so right. I think he just might be the one who inspires me to tell the world that this NFL quarterback is bisexual and in love with a man.

That is until I blew the best thing to happen to me since my kids were born. All I know is I have to get him back. I had to find a way to keep him.

Christian: I never imagined I would meet the love of my life while being bowled over on the beach by the Newfoundland I was dog-sitting. But that's exactly how I ended up on my back in the sand, wrapped in his arms and pressed into the sand by the six-foot-five dark-haired Adonis. Did I mention he had two beautiful children?

Our week together was worthy of a sexy modern-day fairytale full of promises about the future until he sent me the text that broke my heart. And how was I supposed to get over him when his six-year-old son was in my class?

Contains mature themes.

    Picked this up to help complete an A-Z challenge. It is a low angst romance with a bit of football and a lot of relationship drama.

    It is well written. The characters are interesting.

    The sweetness in this book can’t be beat. Alex is such a sweetheart but lonely and looking for more. He loves his kids and his job but he needs more. When he meets Christian, it’s instant attraction and vice versa. Christian is confident, adorable, funny and sweet, he falls head over heels for Alex but must protect himself when Alex does a very bad job of trying to protect Christian. I really enjoyed this story and am looking forward to the next book.

    A sweet angst free romance.Alex, an NFL quarterback for the Portland pirates, meets Christian, a first grade teacher at the beach one summer. They instantly click and fall for each other. Due to an unforseen event, Alex breaks things off and breaks both their hearts.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good characters, poor writing
    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2024
    Although the characters for this entire series can be good, the stories are weak. The characters meet and fall in love and ten pages and then have a lot of non-issue issues to fill the rest of the pages. The overuse of the endearment “babe” is annoying and the way things get tied up so easily is unrealistic. If you read the stories back to back you will also notice a lot of mistakes with facts- like why someone left one team to come to Portland team, among others. A good editor could fix a lot of this, but sadly the authors just drag the story out without a true climax and resolution.

    Divorced single dad, NFL star Quarterback Alex, meets teacher Christian on the beach. Christian just knows him as Divorced single dad Alex. After a week of togetherness, the decide to date once they are both back in Portland.

    But…..well….stuff happens.

    It was a good book….some things happen that I didn’t see coming, but there were also a few things that were obvious…at least to me.

    Not 5 stars because there were a few inconsistencies that truly bugged me. I know it’s a book of fiction, but a bit of research, and most could have been avoided.

    That said…..I kind of want to read the next one!

    These two did break my heart a bit, but they are really so lovely together. Alex was a divorced dad trying to live a happy life. Christian was a teacher who had so far been unlucky in love. Of course, real life has a way of throwing a wrench into the works. I was happy they were able to figure things out to grab their happy ever after. Anxious to read Marcus and Aiden's story next!
