3.5 stars. Kelly had my heart, but Blue's waffling over what he wanted irked me, even though I kind of got where he was coming from. The ending was also quite sudden, with Blue's "epiphany" coming on so late. If I hadn't known there was a sequel I would have been disappointed. But since there is, I'll dive into [b:A Deeper Blue|39088575|A Deeper Blue (Rules of Possession, #2)|S.E. Harmon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1530388029l/39088575._SY75_.jpg|60663258] straightaway! I heard great things about that one.
This book is about Blue and Kelly. Blue is in the NFL. We all know what that means here people. Kelly his lifelong bestie is a tatted up and pierced college physics professor. He is most definitely gay. He's also in love with a clueless Blue.
Blue knows Kelly is the most important person in his life. He misses him when he doesn't see him and craves his company. He also has started to notice the attractiveness of his BFF. When drunken shenanigans leads to a hook up, Kelly can't take it anymore and tells Blue how he feels. And round and round we go with the push pull, jealousy, and drama until Blue finally makes up his mind. And when Blue makes up his mind thats it. He's all in baby.
I liked how Blue never chastised himself over the things he and Kelly were doing . He never had those OMG self flaggilating moments where he made up excuses. He just kinda rolled with the punches a bit. Kelly, poor Kelly, I felt bad for him a lot. But I also loved being in his head especially when he was thinking about his students. His sarcasm was just fun. The ending is a HFN situation which works with this one. If you like GFY/OFY genre pick this one up

Friends to lovers is my favorite trope.
Blue is an NFL player, attached at the hip to his childhood best friend Kelly. Kelly is a college professor, head over heels in love with his best friend Blue. Blue, is straight as an arrow, always with a hot co-ed.
Sparked by jealousy, Blue gives into feelings he’s pushed aside. He’s had feelings for Kelly, but he has plans for a wife and a family and being pro just wouldn’t be easy if he’s bi.
Kelly realizes Blue won’t reciprocate and begins separating himself. But, Blue decides he’d do anything for that not to happen. And the two become physical. Which, was kinda hot and kinda odd because Blue says if they need to be physical to stay best friends he’s willing. Obviously not what Kelly wants since he’s in love, not just in lust.
Ok so, Kelly tells Blue how he feels. And Blue tells him how he feels, with a caveat that while he’s attracted to him, nothing will happen. So essentially Blue takes Kelly for granted maybe too long. Luckily, one of Blue’s teammates clues him into reality.
And then after the big I want forever let’s go public, Kelly pretends to never having thought about publicity. So he offers to be a secret for a while. And it just kind of ends. Thankfully, a book two is out there or this ending would be way too little and really not what Kelly wants.
The guy who reads Blue was too laid back, which was slightly distracting. The guy reading Kelly was perfect.

Supposedly this is a huge winner among the KU MM Sports romance fans. But I sort of hated it
