BLURB:
Secret romance changes the rules of the game.
Luke’s never falling in love again.
All that matters now is winning. He’s one of the best tennis players in the world. He has titles and endorsements and fans. He doesn’t need love. Especially since he’s sure he’ll lose everything if he comes out.
Then rookie Jesse walks into the locker room.
Jesse, with his youthful optimism and sweet smile. His alluring innocence.
If Luke gives in to temptation, how long will Jesse be content as secret lovers? Can two pro tennis players find love without losing their careers—and their hearts?
Love Match by Keira Andrews is a steamy gay romance featuring an age gap, the grumpy/sunshine trope, and of course a happy ending.
REVIEW:
This book has been on my to-read list since forever it seems, so when it was re-released it was like a sign that I really needed to pick it up and finally read it.
I am so glad that I did. This book was just what I needed…a nice comfortable read with some drama but still wonderful feelings.
For me a good sign is when I get involved with the characters in the book and I sure felt something while reading about Luke and Jesse.
Even the side characters made me smile and worry, which shows how Miss Andrews can really write a compelling story.
I happen to like sports, so for me reading a sports book in this case tennis doesn’t give me any problems regarding names, numbers and terms so to speak.
The plot is not really surprising and you can sense the problems coming from miles away so to speak, but yet I stayed fascinated to see how things would turn out.
Where in the blurb it mentions some tropes I didn’t really notice those as I read and I mean that in a postive way. Yes there is an small age gap between Luke and Jesse but it isn’t really pressing or something, which I personally liked.
To me Luke wasn’t really grumpy. I have to admit I really liked him a lot and where I get that Jesse is the young bright light, it was Luke who spoke to me most. I loved how he masked, what I think, might be insecurity and fear.
The love between these two men was wonderful and sexy and there is not a moment that I doubted they would get their happy ever after.
With the epilogue and even better there is also the bonus epilogue, Miss Keira Andrews did a fabulous job so many years ago that is still so very entertaining many years later.
