Loveable characters:
Yes
Shane is a nerd, shy, and even slightly afraid of people. He wished he were a social person, but he isn’t.
His latest university project is to study athletes, specifically Patrick Callahan. He will be his shadow and observe him for the rest of the year. Yes, Patrick agreed to be part of this project.
Patrick likes to show off, a straight jock trying to impress Shane, why? Because it’s fun. Who doesn’t want to be watched, and hopefully admired?
Shane is the professional one, telling Patrick just to be himself, and keep themselves at a distance. As if!
Gosh, Shane tried hard, really hard, but couldn’t help wanting Patrick.
Patrick knows Shane is lonely, he even offered his friends to Shane, nope Shane is the professional, remember?
Shadowing Patrick daily means also joining him and his team at the out games, staying in hotels, sharing a room, even a bed.
I’m not gonna spoil what happens further, read this yourself. I adored this story!
It was fun, sweet, low-angst, sexy, and lovely.
The characters were nicely and consistently drawn, the nerd and the cocky jock, there’s gay awakening and delicious first times! Enjoy!
