Love the Game Book 5: Full Tilt by Becca Seymour

Love the Game Book 5

 Camden Crawford knows how to take a hit.

As the thirtysomething captain of the Exeter Seagulls, he’s built a career on strength, silence, and shielding his emotions as ruthlessly as he does his teammates. But when an injury rocks his team—and a series of frustrating media storms threaten to unravel his legacy—Cam finds himself one mistake away from losing everything he’s worked for. The last thing he needs is
a distraction.

Enter Brent sunshine in tattooed skin, newly settled in Exeter, and a little too perceptive for Cam’s comfort.

Brent came to England chasing purpose. What he didn’t expect was a brooding rugby player with eyes like winter and walls like stone. But the chemistry? Immediate. Irresistible. And very, very mutual. Brent isn’t afraid to get under Camden’s skin—and he’s definitely not afraid to stay there.

When a one-time tattoo consult turns into stolen kisses, slow mornings, and a summer of something that feels a lot like more, both men are forced to face the Falling for each other wasn’t in the game plan. And neither is what happens when the spotlight turns on their relationship.

With mounting pressure, cross-continental tours, and past insecurities clawing their way to the surface, Camden has to decide if love is a risk he’s finally ready to take. And Brent? He’s ready to prove that he’s not just a distraction—he’s the reason to stay.

A swoony, slow-burn MM sports romance full of banter, bruises, and unexpected tenderness. grumpy/sunshine vibes, emotional intimacy, found family, a meddling little brother, and the hottest “oops, I sent you a sex tape by accident” moment in romance.

Full Tilt is book five in a brand-new sports romance shared world. Featuring books from Willow Thomas, Becca Steele, Jodi Oliver, EM Denning, Becca Jackson, EM Lindsey, and Cora Rose.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Camden has kept his personal life close to his chest. He is only close to a very few amount of people and his family and he is comfortable about that. The media has made it super hard for him to not feel attacked and constantly under a microscope. He is constantly worried that they are going to invade his privacy no matter how careful he is. So when his tattoo artist mentions moving and that he would like Cam to meet the man taking over, Cam is wary. But he never expects the connection he feels to Brent when they meet. Brent can feel the shield around Cam the moment they meet. But he is patient. He won’t rush Cam’s comfort or betray his confidence for anything. He’ll coax him bit by bit and earn the trust of this man who makes Brent feel things he hasn’t felt in a very long time. And the second these two go past friendship? It’s everything they’ve been looking for. I absolutely adored these two! They were so sweet and just balanced one another out so well. I loved watching these two fall for one another. Especially watching Cam let down his shields bit by bit as he realizes how much he can trust Brent. Loved this story and so many other characters we met! I can’t wait to read their stories too!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
