BLURB:
Troy Frisk is a force in the sports world, but this secret is only ours…
Troy is Philly’s toughest sports agent. A famous grump, founder of the best agency in town, and my new representation.
Oh, and he’s also the stranger I accidentally picked up the other night, turns out.
I’m a soccer star at the start of my career.
I already have a reputation for acting impulsively, and my team is not impressed by the antics.
Hooking up again with my older, famous agent is a recipe for disaster, totally forbidden.
He’s straight anyway, and I’m not out of the closet.
So I will not tempt fate while my team is on a winning streak.
No matter how many times Troy Frisk and I find ourselves alone at the office or the gym.
Even if it turns out the old jock is weirdly, totally lovable.
And kind of perfect for me.
Rule Breakers is a standalone M/M romance with an age gap, forbidden shenanigans, and two jocks who can’t help but fall for each other. It’s an easy read with lots of steam and a touch of angst. Enjoy!
REVIEW:
Troy Frisk is a high-powered hard ass Sports agent. He’s a former pro catcher so he knows pro sports. He’s made his own way and has worked hard to get where he’s at.
Orlando Onassis is a talented footballer who is in his second year for the pro Philly team. He’s made some mistakes and he needs to keep a low profile for his team’s sake as well as the sake of his career. Soooo probably not the best idea to be on Grindr?
When Orlando decides to test out is bisexuality with an anonymous hookup, he heads to the sports bar and meets Troy. He doesn’t realize until they are in the bathroom in the back that Troy isn’t actually the guy he was messaging. Oops. But now Troy is into it and so they continue 😉 After a mutually satisfying experience, they go their separate ways.
Orlando is still working on being a better teammate and his captain is looking out for him. He decides to take him to his agent. Of course both Orlando and Troy are surprised to see each other again 😉 There are some misunderstandings and assumptions, but they are clearly attracted. Troy agrees to take Orlando on as a client. Orlando agrees even though he knows that this will be a lot on him – new diet, new training, keeping his head down and working hard.
Orlando and Troy work out together – and this leads to more. If they agree to be discreet, then why can’t they continue to explore their bi sides? So they do. But of course things get a little heated. Oh, and they are both not out 🙂 How are they going to handle that?
This is my first book from this author. For the most part, I really enjoyed getting to know these two 🙂 Their dynamic is fun and they way they figure out how to work together is a good ride. Troy has not had the easiest of times and that has colored his outlook on life. He’s super hard working and determined. He doesn’t accept less than 100%. Orlando really wants to be successful and the best he can be and he knows Troy can help him. The fact that they work as sex partners is kind of a huge bonus to him. There is some angst around being out – which is annoyingly realistic. I really enjoyed a number of the secondary characters as well. Not sure what comes next in this series, but I’m intrigued. Recommended – particularly for fans of sports romances.
