Zone Defense:

This book has so many things I don't like.- cheating- the "I love you so much but I'm afraid you'd leave me so I better leave you first" story (view spoiler)[- Nathan claims to care for Aaron but already feels suffocated after being together for full one week. Really?- It's probably okay had a week before Nathan not 'forced' Aaron to publicly came out!(hide spoiler)]- separated many years after a bad breakup then every thing is rainbow-like when they meet again and f*ck after 15-mins talkingThe [...]

I hesitate to shelve this as sports since the only sports references are the title and the fact that both guys are on the lacrosse team. The sport is only ever mentioned in passing here and it really didn't need to be a part of the story.

On Smashwords this book had a 5star review and reading the description I thought I would really enjoy the book.Sadly the opposite is true. The story sounds promising but there is only so much you can take before you stop believing in the story. It looked like a romance story but the writing nears more to erotica, but it isn't. Sex scenes are written awkwardly, at one point the head of a dick is called a "perfect mushroom cap" and a nipple is "white of excitement", this turned me off, not on.Susp [...]

Yes, it was free and I have to say - I'm glad I didn't pay for it. No, I didn't really like it. It started with a ridiculous first chapter, then it moved on to some kind of relationship, more like on and off again, between Nathan and Aaron. The cheating of Aaron with regard to his girlfriend didn't bother me much, as it was like he had to figure out some truth about himself. So far so good, but the whole story lost me when after Aaron's coming out, breaking up with the girlfriend and both having [...]

I was reading this book, at a fast pace, thoroughly enjoying the characters and I began to wonder why this story didn't get more positive reviews about 3/4 of the way through the story, I'm pretty sure I found out why. All I'll say is "Why, Nathan, why?"After that, I hated the book until it's half hearted redemption in the last few pages. I feel a little guilty, giving an author a less than stellar review based on the behavior of a character, but if it resulted in me hating 1/4 of the book, in t [...]

I really liked Nathan and Aaron together, they just meshed well with one another. I absolutely hated the way Nathan just brushed Jonathan off like that once Aaron came back, it was really pretty shitty. And then the way he treated Aaron, oh hell no. And for a 10 year gap and they just say oh I'm sorry and all works out, that really pissed me off, it was too easy and it ruined the story for me.

My 3 stars are for the sex. The story jumped all over the place and didn't make sense. Nathan chases after Aaron until he gets him. They break up and the story jumps 10 years.

3.75 stars
