All In With Him by Lauren Blakely

5.0

The ending of Grant and Declan's love story will be just what you wanted. Now committed to one another, playing for different teams, and living together in the same city - it seems like the guys have it all. But we wouldn't have a 3rd book in their story without a few plot twists and bumps in their journey. They navigate the difficulties of meshing two lives together and playing for opposing teams, dealing with the press, all while figuring out where they go from here and what their future looks like. No spoilers, but I'll tell you that the ending to their story is super sweet and just melted me.



I listened to all 3 books in this series and Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan brought this entire story to life. They portrayed the strength of the characters so well in humorous scenes, emotional moments, and the steamy and sexy times so well. This is a story best experienced in audio with the spectacular acting these men brought to a wonderful book.

I particularly connected with this story after finding out about Lauren's family and her personal connection to writing MM stories set in a world where you can love who you love. For my part, I was welcomed into my husband's family most warmly by his two aunts, who had been in a relationship for more than 25 years by the time we met in 2007. I was deeply touched, years later to have been able to witness their wedding once it was finally legal in Chicago. And my heart and mind often misses Natalie now that she has passed. I wish for everyone who loves someone, that they find acceptance in society and in their families like Lauren has written in these stories. Maybe one day in the not so distant future, homophobia will be a thing of the past. Love is love.
