BLURB:
He’s already lost everything else… he can’t lose him, too.
Jaxon values very little in his life, but what he does value? Football, school, and his best friend, Blaze.
But an injury takes him out of the game permanently, and it bleeds into his schooling, making it hard for him to study, to do his classwork, and attend classes.
Blaze is his only constant, the one thing in his life that hasn’t changed.
Somewhere in the midst of the chaos his mind has become, Jaxon is falling in love with his best friend.
Problem is, they’ve both always been straight. He can barely make sense of his own feelings, much less fathom a reality in which Blaze falls for him, too.
But if there’s one thing Jaxon knows… It’s that fate always has its own plans.

REVIEW:
This is going to be one of my favourite books from West Greene. We already met both MCs in Hating You duet and since they were kind of loud idiots, I didn’t not expect for this story to be so beautifully emotional.
The story is set a couple of years later, when Jaxon, Blaze and Hunter are all in college and play football together, while Samuel is working as a mechanic. Blaze and Jaxon are still best friends and live together and they’ve apologised repeatedly to Samuel for how they treated him in high school.
The story starts after Jaxon has been in a medically induced coma and he’s currently dealing with the aftermath of the severe head injury, result of a very bad hit on the field.
He suffers from continuous migraines, blurred vision and short memory loss, studying has become almost impossible and he’s drowning in pain and despair.
Blaze has been his sole comfort through all of it: Jaxon had some pretty bad thoughts about his life and the only thing that kept him sane and prevented him from making horrible final choices was Blaze. As a matter of fact, Jaxon’s feelings for his best friends have been slowly turning into something more deep and romantic.
Blaze feels the same: seeing his best friend unconscious at the hospital and realising he could have lost him forever, it awakened his true feelings for him.
One thing I loved very much was that their emotional intimacy had more attention than their physical one: their connection is strong, Blaze knows exactly what Jaxon needs and doesn’t hesitate to give it to him, while Jaxon is not scared to lean on his boyfriend and he’s not ashamed to ask for help.
These two are really meant to be together.
What prevented me from giving five full stars:
I needed more from the epilogue and I hope the author will give us another story in this universe to let us know how Jaxon and Blaze are doing.
It was lovely to see Hunter and Samuel again, they have the same personality but they also matured and they’re less impulsive. And I appreciated that they actually helped Jaxon and Blaze to admit their feelings instead of letting them just pine for each other.
Very much recommended.
