This is my first/only book in this series (as well as the author) and it’s safe to say this can be read as a standalone. I’m guessing a couple of the characters we meet in the book were the MC’s in previous books. This is a relatively low angst book with nothing earth shattering happening. The writing is good…there is a little about rugby so if you need that when the book is classified as a sports romance, it’s there.

Lachlan and Liam have great sexual chemistry and lack for nothing between the sheets. Liam is in the closet and Lachlan is out and proud. (If you’ve read any similar closet/out story, you’ve read this one.) I typically don’t read books with closet characters because someone inevitably always gets hurt but this one wasn’t too painful. Neither character is very complex but likeable enough.

The ending is a HFN vs. a HEA and we know this because the ending is ‘for now’. I’m not sure whether I’d read another book in the series just to get more info on these guys. I have no idea if there will be more M/M books in this series although I suppose there could be based on a couple other characters we meet.

This is a quick, decent read that I can recommend but as noted you won’t find anything new or earth shattering here.
