Offside by Alison Hendricks

4.0

This is one of my favorite sports series. I love the Eastshore Tigers and their players, who have become known as the Rainbow Tigers due to their many gay former players. This book focuses on Beau, a running back who is hiding a couple of secrets. After a house party, his car breaks down and he finds himself being helped by former Jaguars player, Lance Harper, whose life is falling down around him due to his very public divorce.

The two of them start a friendship that leads to a new job for Lance and a budding romance. I love how Hendricks lets things grow organically. It's not insta-love with everything all roses. There are real issues that have to be dealt with on both sides before there can be an HEA.
