Publisher's Summary
Jeremy
Seeing my best friend West happy with his fiancé opened my eyes to things I’ve been missing in my own marriage. My divorce, which was amicable, followed. Strangely, at West’s wedding, I find myself confiding in Darren, the straight, confirmed bachelor and star quarterback of the Atlanta Lightning. Darren is a full-steam-ahead kind of guy, and one talk leads to hanging out, swapping phone numbers, and pranking West and Anson while they’re on their honeymoon. When I head back to California, I expect our chats to end, but I couldn’t be more wrong.
Darren
I still can’t say how it happened, how a random decision to strike up a conversation with Jeremy turned into...whatever this is. All I know is, months later, my days aren’t complete until we tell each other good night. Whether it’s on our calls or when he flies to Atlanta, we talk about everything, lying awake together half the night. Jeremy’s got me feeling...different. If it was just my newly discovered bisexuality, that’d be one thing. I’m not one to stress about being into a man for the first time. It’s the other stuff, the way he makes my pulse race and my heart swell, that’s throwing me for a loop.
I didn’t think I was made for relationships; I thought something inside me was broken, but I want it all with him. Except, it feels like as soon as we make it past one obstacle, there’s an even bigger one waiting for us. We just have to keep our heads in the game and our eyes on the prize to make it to the end zone, before one last tackle takes us down for good.

Great sequel
Darren & Jeremy soar in this highly romantic, genuine and edgy story. It is also great to catch up with Anson and West again, it’s like catching up with old friends. I could not put this audiobook down. It’s pacy and racy. The characters have such great depth and entirely believable and likeable. Riley Hart is a heck of a writer. Iggy Toma and Benjamin Charles do a stellar job narrating this lovely story.

Tender romance, absorbing plot!
Darren is straight but was super supportive when his Atlanta Lightning teammate and best friend found love and came out a few years ago. Darren has always enjoyed sex but he’s never found love. Jeremy had found love but his long-distance marriage has fizzled and ended amicably. Previously acquaintances, at the wedding of their best friends, Darren and Jeremy begin a friendship that slowly turns into love. This was a very tender love story. Darren had to process his romantic feelings for another man, although he seemed to cope with the physical stuff pretty easily. Jeremy was cautious about falling for a straight guy, knowing he could easily get his heart hurt. It’s hard not to compare to The Endgame which had more snark, humour and sport play and I missed some of that. The plot was absorbing and I loved Darren and Jeremy but the tone wasn’t as playful. There were more deep and meaningful ‘defining the relationship’ talks this time around and Darren didn’t seem as fun or cocky as he appeared in the first book - being set a few years later, maybe he’d just grown up a bit more. I love when Riley writes African-American characters and props for choosing the excellent Benjamin Charles to perform Darren on the audiobook. Benjamin and Iggy Toma (as Jeremy) were both great.
