Une petite nouvelle mignonne, drôle et sympa, qui m'aura fait passer un doux moment. Huuumm pour être honnête je dois avouer que j'aurais bien aimé être une petite souris, une mouche ou je ne sais quoi d'autre, pour être dans ce fameux recoin sombre, avec JJ et Sparkles !!

This was a very well written short story. I love athlete books, but I'm always leery of shorts because they usually feel rushed, like something is missing, and I'm really not a fan of insta-love. Thankfully this one had an actual story, not just insta-love with tons of sex. I liked the MCs and the development of their relationship. This story was totally cute with some humor and HOT sex included. No complaints here.

Loved the "ride a cowboy" reference. And the way Oliver's crush was crushing him.

Super sexy! I loved Oliver and Derek and would love to read more about them but this was a good length too.

I'm a marshmallow.

I know. You're shocked. I play a good game with my tough-love ratings and the fact that when it comes to f-bombs I've taken Snoop D-O-Double-G's advice to heart and dropped 'em like its hot, but it's true: I'm a fucking marshmallow.

So are you really surprised that I loved [b:Punch-Drunk Love|22459578|Punch-Drunk Love|Nico Jaye|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1402555642s/22459578.jpg|41894370]?! I mean, Nico Jaye is the
Spoilerunicorn
queen of sweet, gooey, fluffy stories that induce giggle snorts and big, lusty I-wish-I-were-a-gay-unicorn-with-a-cowboy-to-love-me sighs in equal measure. Then, because she's a bit of a perv, she delivers the smut. Good smut. Derek and Stiles Oliver may not be the most complicated of characters, but as they walked off into the sunset together - naked as they day they were born - I was left with a big, dopey grin on my face.

As always, my thanks to the author for participating in the Love's Landscapes event and for all of the behind-the-scenes work that editors, beta readers, unicorn toque-wearing cover artists, and the MM Group Mods put into making this FREE event a massive success!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Oliver Reyes is a slightly nerdy kickboxer who is part of an elite team in San Francisco. Oliver is also more than slightly gay and has a crush on the team's captain, Derek Vance. Oliver is not very obvious about his crush, certain that it's unlikely Derek would reciprocate. When the team travels to Las Vegas for a competition, Oliver goes out to scope out entertainment options for a future trip with his friends, and what he finds is more than he expected.

I really liked this story. It's sweet and fluffy with a dash of racy heat thrown in--something I think is expected from a Nico Jaye story. The pacing is a bit inconsistent, with a lot of slow build and then very quick resolution that almost leaves some things feeling unresolved. Though that just increases my desire to read and know more about these characters...if they might possibly resurface somewhere in the future.
