Toronto Thunder Book 1: Perfect Storm by Beth Bolden

 

Toronto Thunder Book 1

When the sexy little brother of Aidan’s best friend suggests a hookup pact, it's the perfect storm for a bi-awakening . . .

Toronto Thunder quarterback Aidan Flynn always believed he was straight, until his close friend and favorite wide receiver signs with a team across the country. Distance opens his eyes and unlocks a desire he can’t deny. Even if his feelings aren’t returned, Aidan still wants to learn more about this part of himself.

Frustrated and a little heartbroken, the last thing he expects is for his crappy mood to get called out by his best friend’s little brother. Or for Levi to offer, on one drunken night, a pact: if Aidan never gets together with his guy, Levi will show him everything he’s been missing—and wanting—in bed.

It’s a stupid promise, fueled by booze and heartbreak, and Aidan expects that Levi will never call him on it.

Except Levi does. He shows up at Aidan’s house in Toronto less than two months later, not only willing to fulfill his side of the pact, but now signed to the Thunder as Aidan’s new right tackle. Aidan assumes it’ll be easy to get rid of him, but Levi is charming and persistent, and he not only ends up living in Aidan’s house, but sleeping in Aidan’s bed.

It’s easy and fun and the best hookup Aidan’s ever had in his whole life. It’s so good, in fact, Aidan starts to experience feelings he believed were long gone, traded away with his friend. Maybe with Levi in his life, love isn’t such a lost cause, after all.

They’re great on the field and between the sheets. But when Aidan’s past returns, he must decide whether Levi also has a place in his heart.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

It’s finally Aidan’s story! And he isn’t the only Flynn that falls for a Banks. It’s taken Aidan a while to realize that he was in love with one of his best friends. And when he has the courage to tell him, he is let down gently. A bit heartbroken he gets much needed space from his friend so he can wallow a bit and try to move on. But he never imagines that Levi Banks, the youngest of the Banks, would be the person he was actually meant to be with. Levi makes a pact with Aidan that a year from now if they were both single, Levi will show him what being with a guy is like. But a kiss later changes a lot for Aidan. Never had he felt that connection before with someone. Before he can really decide what to do next, Levi is gone. But not for long. Because turns out Levi is traded to Aidan’s team and will be moving in with him. The more these two spend time together, the more feelings start to form for both of them. But admitting them? Risking their hearts? Well, that’s one risk they’ll have to take before it’s too late. I loved these two! It was really nice to get Aidan’s point of view and see he how hard he is trying and unsure of himself so much of the time. But with Levi, he feels safe and happy. He never expected Levi to be that person for him and he is falling fast and hard without really realizing it. And Levi is just so fun and sweet and caring. He stands by Aidan’s side and wants to do whatever for him because he sees exactly who Aidan is. They were such a great couple and I loved getting to know them and watch them fall hard for one another! A great start to this new series set in a such a fun world! I can’t wait for more!
