Tanner Fox wasn’t sure being traded to the Cedarwood Wildcats was the right path for his life, but if Dr. Dane Bloom is part of the package, then he’ll play for keeps.
Tanner “Foxy” Fox knows he can do one thing—play baseball. His days in the outfield are numbered, but he’s a fan favorite. Everyone wants a piece of Foxy—almost everyone. The Anti-Gay Coalition wants nothing of a gay player on the town baseball team, but Tanner isn’t about to back down, especially when he lands sponsorship from the silver-fox doctor in town.
When Dr. Dane Bloom opts to sponsor the baseball team, he knows he’s going to be asked to sponsor a player. Having a younger man living in his home and invading his trust? Why not? Dane’s not wild about opening up, but when he sees Tanner, something in him shatters. He wants to get to know Tanner, beyond the Foxy façade to the man inside. Can he and the player find a way to score in Cedarwood, or will the coalition and self-doubts keep them apart?
REVIEW:
How do you tame a fox? Put in a home with a stuffy doctor. Lol.
Tanner had a personal he fulfilled when he was on the field, but off the field all he wanted was a home. When he got traded to the Cedarwood team, he almost didn’t show. He understood he had a slump, but no one knew really why because he didn’t tell. He was kicked out of his sponsor’s homes for being gay and holding down part-time jobs to survive while playing ball. It caught up to him. So he was dreading this. But meeting the owner, Devlin, had started to help. And meeting his new sponsor, Dane, had helped even more. Especially when they let the chemistry and attraction collide. But the coalition is doing it’s damnedest to get rid of Tanner and all the gays in town and so is one of the players on the team. With their relationship being so new, it’s a bit overwhelming, but Tanner finally feels home. The problem is how Dane will feel with all this going on. He hopes it won’t scare him off, even with Tanner being uncomfortable as well.
Tanner was a cocky guy at games. The ladies loved him. Most people did until they found out he was gay. Then his cockiness didn’t seem to matter so much. There was so much more to Tanner than what he showed on the field. When he met Dane, he finally found someone that actually saw him for him. Listened to what he had been through and didn’t judge. Felt for him and hurt for him, but supported him and held him up.
For Dane, Tanner was like a breath of fresh air. A young man who kept him young and feeling full of life. Someone who loves to be with him and all his quirky rules and stuff. Someone who dealt with his schedule as a doctor. He made him want to actually live life again instead of just working and hiding.
They were what each other needed all along. Now if someone would just get rid of the coalition, things would be great.
