The wicked things I want to do to my best friend…
Hunter is the only man I’ve ever loved.

Sam and Hunter had been best friends and team-mates for years, but Sam was out and proud and Hunter was so far in the closet not even Sam knew his true desires. But as Hunter’s world comes crumbling down the only person he can turn to is Sam, but they have a lot to work out between them.

While this is a very short story I was surprised at the amount of back-story and emotion the author has worked into it. I found both Sam and Hunter to be well fleshed out characters and their interactions together conveyed to me quite a strong and extensive history together. Each chapter alternates between Hunter’s perspective and Sam’s and I ended up having mixed feelings about this. While I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know both characters on a deeper level and I definitely felt this helped me connect better as a reader to them both it did feel a little jumpy to me – switching back and forth between the two men. The pacing of the story also felt a little disjointed to me, with the first few chapters having a very strong sense of info-dumping to help catch me up on the huge back-story between Hunter and Sam. Then when their relationship really started to progress the pace slowed right down as their intimacy took over. This made the pacing feel a bit choppy to me and while I enjoyed the shift in focus from the plot to the physical relationship between the men I feel the author could have merged the two aspects of the story a little better.

I thoroughly enjoyed the realism of both men’s characters. As a somewhat famous sportsman I fully understand it had to have been extremely difficult for Hunter to come out – especially considering his family background as well. Both Hunter and Sam were interesting and macho characters and I found myself invested in them and their relationship very quickly. The sex between them was also smoking hot – with each of them having been in love with the other for many years. Add in the conflict of a crazy ex-girlfriend and national media coverage and there is plenty of plotlines twisting together to form an interesting story that I overall enjoyed reading.

I feel this short story has a lot to recommend it and two interesting, sexy characters that captured and held my attention. With a sweet and very satisfying ending I enjoyed this story and would happily read more by this author.
