Lucas
I tell myself I can do it all over again. And do it better. Even without a boyfriend.
I mean…who better to succeed at the Olympics than me? Though training this close to Cam again and seeing how his body has developed might be too much for me.
Plus, being naked in the locker room with him makes it even harder…to focus.
It doesn’t take long for my pining curiosity to turn into desperate hope.
Is it possible that Cam still has feelings for me?
Camden
I relied on Erika to survive my heartbreak. I even made a new friend, the tall glass of water known as Colton. Any normal gay dude would have thrown themselves at him and said, ‘Pick a hole.’
Not me, of course. While I was tempted, at least one part of me didn’t give the green light. My heart.
What was left of it still belonged to Luke.
Without answers for what happened in Brisbane, he’s my teammate again. If only my hormones would mind their own business, then maybe I could focus on the Olympics and worry about Luke after I win.
Piece of ass…I mean, piece of cake.
I’m so fucked.
Floored by Love is a full-length gay romance novel, the second in the Rings Trilogy, with no major triggers, but possibly a little angst. Within these pages, you’ll find notepad flirting, almost-sex in a hospital, freeballing, a wet superhero with a bare ass, five Olympians in a hot tub and muscles flexing beneath designer jockstraps. Oh. It’s also the Olympics again. And though there’s a third book coming, there is no cliffhanger this time.
REVIEW:
Book one ended where Lucas his parents intervened in Lucas and Camden’s relationship, their ways split. We can follow them again four years after that moment.
Lucas is training gymnastics for the next Olympics, his coach Cassandra is breezing in his neck all the time. She’s determined to keep him away from Camden. He’s on a leash, indirectly by his parents.
Lucas never got over Camden. Now they are back together at the Olympics.
They are the senior members of the team and will work together. The big question is will Camden give Lucas another chance.
The story is a bit dragging, with no real progress, every possible obstacle, to get a chance to talk about what happened, was in the way. I was happy when something crucial happened and there was a breakthrough where Cam and Luc finally got together. There’s a lot of fuss around them and it didn’t keep my attention, I skipped through pages to find a few interesting parts, it was overall quite superficial.
I’m not sure how I feel about this story, it was sweet but also very immature. Like the thing where Lucas only sees bodies instead of people. The story was way too focused on dicks, tight shorts, muscles, and bulges, awkward times, in locker rooms, naked, dicks, hello, twenty-four. The gymnastic parts were fun and interesting, certain awful parent parts were good for stressful moments in the story. The sexy encounters were good for some heat.
The big picture is nice and sweet, in detail it’s without depth I prefer, for my pleasure, the story was too large, it was dragging on, fifty percent was already enough, I understand there will a third story. I will keep it at two. Three small hearts for this one.
