Offsides Book 2: Square to the Puck by JJ Mulder

 

Offsides Book 2

Corwin Sanhover could almost convince himself that the night six years ago didn’t happen. But when Nigel St. James is traded to South Carolina, it becomes a lot harder to keep their history in the past.

Nigel St. James can’t imagine a team he’d like to play for less than South Carolina, and he knows Corwin probably feels the same. But when things between them become friendly, it’s clear that they both still want each other now, the same as they did back then. Is it possible to start fresh and build a relationship, or are some things—and people—better left in the past?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Corwin has been hiding who he is for a long time. And you can’t blame him considering how his father reacted to realizing his son liked men. Corwin learned young to never let anyone in on that side of him. And he would never risk it. But at eighteen he took a risk…though he panicked and ran. For six years he thought he could forget it. But then Nigel is traded to his team and Corwin knows he is in trouble. Because the feelings that Nigel stirred for him haven’t gone away with time. And this time, he has no where to run. Nigel has spent the last six years feeling guilty over what happened between him and Corwin. He just wants a chance to apologize. When they finally clear the air, they begin to become friends. But it is clear that they could never be just friends. And when Corwin takes the small step to be something more, Nigel is so patient. Because what he wants more than anything is just to be with Corwin in any shape or form. He knew back then and he knows now, that Corwin could easily be his if he let him. I really loved these two. Corwin has always been this strong figure and it was nice to see just how vulnerable he is. And for him to find someone that could slowly break him out of his shell. He deserves happiness and he is finally letting himself have it. And Nigel is so used to not belonging anywhere and being traded all the time, but with Corwin he has finally found a home. Adored these two! And I can’t wait to jump into the next one.
