A review by bookcasebantersteph
Double Play by C.L. Rose

4.0

 I don’t know how C.L Rose did it, but I fell and fell HARD for both these men. I knew this book was going to be spicy and man it did not disappoint. 

Hawk and Jackson are best friends, teammates, and roommates. They do everything together and their friendship is a truly beautiful experience. They bring out the best in each other. They may not have romantic feelings for each other but man do they share so well. 

Arden has worked so hard for what she wanted, to be a pro volleyball player. Up until this point she has struggled but is ready to prove herself, but there is one problem. To achieve her dream, she has to move in with her stepbrother and his moody (yet very attractive) roommate. 

Jackson and Arden have always been best friends and they each had a way of calming each other. Hawk has been around in the background for years. The bond that these three share just cannot be described quickly, it must be experienced in the book. 

This book was spicy, fun and surprisingly deep and emotional at times. Arden and Hawk both struggle with anxiety and watching them help each other and for the three of them to create such safe spaces with each other and their found family was truly a joy to read about. 

Thank you, C.L Rose and Wordsmith Publicity, for the ARC of this book.
