Miami Piranhas Book 1: Playing for Keeps

Miami Piranhas Book 1

 

Sebastian Howard is the best damn cornerback in the NFL.

Or at least he was.

Age and injuries have taken a toll, and while most people have written him off, Sebastian isn’t ready to acknowledge that at only thirty-two, he’s already in the twilight of his career.

He signs with the Miami Piranhas intending to prove everyone wrong.

Only to realize that the head coach’s son, out-and-proud Beau Dawson, doesn’t believe he can.

Beau is infuriating but brilliant, and when he offers to help him on the field, Sebastian wants to say yes, but there’s one thing stopping him: the unexpected, inconvenient, and all-consuming crush he doesn’t want to have on Beau.

But Beau isn’t interested in playing it safe, with football or with anything else, and soon they’re embroiled in a hot—and secret—affair that would finish Sebastian’s career if Coach Dawson found out.

As Sebastian falls harder for Beau, he begins to realize that actually the worst thing in the world isn’t getting benched, but losing the man he loves.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

When Sebastian joined the Miami Piranhas, he thought he had a good idea of what to expect. But being forced to change positions on the field wasn’t one of them. Sure, he knew it was a possibility but being one of the best corners in the NFL had to mean something right? But times are changing and Sebastian’s years of playing are starting to show.  Lucky for him, one of the coaches, Beau, know what to do. They don’t call him a genius for nothing. He is determined to show Sebastian that changing to the safety position is gonna be a new, challenging, rewarding, and an overall better choice for his future. But he just has to get through Sebastian’s stubbornness. He also has to figure out how to ignore his strong attraction to Sebastian. Though it seems like Sebastian is struggling with his own attraction to Beau as well. There are a bunch of reasons why they shouldn’t hook up, yet it doesn’t take long for either of them to give in. And when they do, they realize there could be something real between them if they give it a chance. Really loved these two! It was cute watching these two try and figure out their relationship and seeing how perfect the two of them are for one another. Definitely picking up book 2 next!
