My Review: 5/5 Stars

Off Sides by Andi Jaxon

I loved this short story!! Takes place in the Darby U world. Which is where Hidden Scars takes place! This story follows Joey, the captain of the hockey team, and Nick, captain of the football team. And let me say I really want a whole book on them!! Nick and Joey meet at a gay bar/club and immediately sparks fly. A quick hook up and for Nick, he is hooked. He also realizes that Joey goes to Darby U and he can't help but wonder if he will run into him. Joey isn't exactly out and when it comes to relationships he finds it difficult to let go and be in the moment. But Nick changes everything for him. Is it just a one time thing? Or is their chemistry just that strong? And when Joey runs into him on campus, immediately he panics but realizes he can't stay away. Turns out these two really are made for one another and their story is just beginning. So seriously! Really want more for them. Loved the beginning of these two and the relationship they were going to try with one another.

Lost and Found by T. Ashleigh

Owen has been questioning sexuality since the incredible kiss with another man in college. But six years later and he still isn't sure who he is exactly. What he does know? The guy he hired for his assistant a while back is constantly on his mind. But Owen is Lance's boss. Bad idea to cross that line. Or is it. For Lance, crushing on your very likely straight boss is only a recipe for heartbreak. But then he learns that Owen may not be as straight as he thought. And one thing leads to another and... well, sparks are definitely flying between these two. Loved this short story about Owen and Lance! Such a fun couple with lots of laughing moments between them as they have a moment to connect and really fall in love.
