About this listen
Travis Wyatt
All I’ve ever wanted is to go to college and get out of Kensley. That small town is all I’ve ever known. I want to be free to be myself, not stifled by small minds in the football-loving town where I grew up.
Then I blew my one and only chance.
Now, I’m just stuck. Stuck in small-town life with the same small-town people I’ve always known. Stuck where I don’t want to be. Constantly on the defense and hiding secrets about myself. To never be the real me.
I’m lost, and I’m angry. But those people I was desperate to get away from, they don’t stop. They insist on showing me that maybe it’s not about my location.
That maybe I can be free right where I am.
Oakley Easton
Travis is way too uptight. I don’t know why. He has everything a guy could want—a steady job and friends who would do anything for him. A great, simple small-town life. But I guess that’s not what he wants.
He’s always been different. Better. Smarter. Stronger.
Still, I find myself wanting to show him everything he’s dreamed of is within his grasp. That he doesn’t have to be so serious all the time. That he can be himself wherever he is, and I’ll back him up.
Because that’s what I’m good at—on and off the field. I’ll always be his defender.
If he’d only let me.

Story of Oakley and Travis
This is an opposites attract/friends with benefits small town romance, featuringTravis and Oakley. This is the third book in the Kensley Panthers series.
This is a reread for me but I seriously didn’t remember just how good this book was. It’s was so beautiful.
Travis and Oakley used to go to high school and play on the same football team together. Since graduation, they both got a job with a landscaping company and have to work together every day.
Oakley is so happy go lucky, nothing seems to faze him and he just goes with the flow, Travis is a planner, opposites yay!
Oakley comes up with a great idea for him and Travis to be friends with benefits. It was maybe one of the funniest most scenes because for a straight guy, he was happy to suggest they jump into it with both feet.
I kind of love that Oakley doesn’t really ‘come out’, he just introduces Travis to his family, he is affectionate to Travis in front of everyone, he just is who he is and likes who he likes. Loved it!
Oakley is also the only person in Travis’s life who defends is right to chose his own path, even if it might mean Oakley will lose him. There was a lot of love in this book. Can’t wait to jump into book four, I hadn’t read past book three so super excited.
