The Rainbow Clause by Beth Bolden

 


Don't like the athletes. Don't sleep with the athletes. Don't fall for the athletes. It had never been particularly difficult to keep the rules but Nick had a feeling he was about to be tested. 

Heisman winner. Member of the National Championship team. NFL Rookie of the Year. Quarterback Colin O’Connor knows he’s become the ultimate romance novel cliché: all the success he’s ever dreamed of but nobody to share it with. Too bad it’s not as simple as asking out the next girl who intrigues him – because the next girl to intrigue him probably won’t be a girl at all. 

Unexpectedly, the solution comes in one neat package: Nick Wheeler, lead journalist for a leading sports and pop culture blog. Hired by Colin’s team, Nick comes to Miami to shine a spotlight on the NFL’s most private quarterback.

The heat in Miami rises when Nick discovers that Colin is nothing like the hollow personality he pretends to be in interviews and he’s even hotter in person than on his Sports Illustrated cover. Nick knows this is the story of his career, and it also hits close to home. What he needs is to help Colin share his story while keeping their growing relationship from boiling over in the press, but what he wants is to tell the world.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Colin is tired of hiding who he is. He knew when he said to Miami’s NFL team that there would be a time when wanted to come out as bisexual. There was even a clause in his contract, dubbed the Rainbow Clause, to ensure that he could do that and it go the way he wanted. And the time is now. He wants to find love, he doesn’t want to hide. He just wants to be. With that announcement comes, Nick. The reporter who will write the exclusive and give Colin the story he deserves. He knows once all is revealed, it won’t be easy but he will do his best by Colin. That means also living with Colin for a few weeks. But the chemistry and attraction between these two are undeniable. And Colin isn’t going to hold back. Not when he feels himself falling for Nick. He wants to take that leap. And Nick can only resist Colin for so long. I loved coming back to the beginning since i’ve been reading this world a bit out of order. I’m basically going backwards from newest series to oldest. By accident! But it’s nice to be back at the beginning and understand all those who credited Colin for starting the movement of changes. I adored Nick and Colin’s story and I can’t wait for more
