DESCRIPTION:
Astrid said I'm in awe!. It's 1 am and I have to be up at 6 to get ready for work. But here I am, inspired and desperately needing to share with everyone how absolutely fabulous I found this book. Amy Lane has surpassed herself with this story. I am not the type of reviewer who breaks down the story piece by piece. I want to share with you how I felt reading this emotional tale. It brought be to tears, made me laugh, and all the emotions in between. The author did a wonderful job of pacing the story and didnt overwhelm the reader with needless scenes. Up to this point I had a clea. Tore my heart to pieces and put it back together again! I haven't read a bad book from Amy Lane - I love her voice, her clean writing, and her angsty stories! Even more than the "Promises" series (which I thoroughly enjoyed!), this book just took my heart, wrung it out, then pieced it back together again. And I still can't stop thinking about Xander and Chris, even a day after finishing the novel! No, I'm not a big sports fan and I hesitated to buy the book for that reason alone, but it really isn't about sports at all - it's a story about love, doing something that you love, and what's really important in life. Michael L said Cut above. Xander Karcek and Christian Edwards r two very likable characters. For some reason, writers these days keep coming up with characters who r unpleasant. It's a nice change to see characters whom I can cheer for. This novel is a little "The Dreyfus Affair-esque" from several years earlier, except instead of major league baseball, it's the NBA. I love the sports theme, and bringing it to the professional level was an added treat. The book was well researched, and Amy Lane seems to know much about basketball and the NBA. The tension in the novel kept me wantin
Their relationship survives the sacrifices they make and the lies they tell to stay together, but when their secret is exposed, the fallout might destroy them when nothing else could. His two obsessions have served him well. But life under fame's microscope isn't easy, especially when two men are pretending to be frat-buddies so the world doesn't know they're the next best thing to married. Xander Karcek has only wanted two things in his life: Christian Edwards and basketball-the man he loves and the game that let him escape a childhood he'd rather forget. He and Chris beat the odds and stayed together through high school, college, and right on to the NBA. Chris and basketball are the two things holding Xander together. Now the world is asking Xander to make a choice. Is there an option that includes a future with the man he loves?
