BLURB:
After a romantic evening, Rich and Johnny face the light of day as a couple.
Johnny’s coming out forces them to face some serious repercussions as the world
of collegian jocks adjust to their first openly gay football player.
Rich is still working
towards the World Diving Championships with his hopes and dreams set on the
2012 London Olympic Games, while as a couple they deal with concerns closer to
home.
With the support of
friends and family, the young couple grow closer together, but with prejudices
and adversity at every turn will Johnny and Rich be able to tackle the world
together?
No matter what, Rich will always be Johnny’s hero.
“No, I’m not going to
and there is nothing you can say that will make me either.” Johnny crossed his
arms, a defiant look on his face, his eyes narrowed slits.
“Oh come on, John, I
wear them.” Rich held up the skimpy black racing briefs. “For me?”
Johnny looked away.
“No. I said no and I mean no.”
Rich leaned in close to
Johnny so only he could hear. “If you wear this, I can guarantee you some of
the best sex in your life. If you think I get turned on by jock straps…”
Johnny glared down at
Rich. “You don’t play fair.”
“Wasn’t it you who
recently said that all is fair in love and war?” Rich smirked as he dangled the
tiny briefs in front of Johnny.
“It better be the best
ever.” Johnny let his arms drop. “Okay. But you promised.”
Again, Rich leaned in
close. “Maybe even join the mile high club.”
Johnny’s eyebrows shot
up and a grin blossomed on his face. “Deal.”
“Are we done here?” Dan
called to the two college men. He was standing at the counter, credit card in
hand.
“One more thing, Dad.”
Rich hurried over to him. “This.”
Dan raised his eyebrows
slightly. “Oookay then.”
Rich snickered when he
saw Johnny blushing.
“I think this will be
all,” Dan said to the clerk.
“I’m going to give you
a discount,” the young woman said as she rang it up. “It isn’t every day that
we can say an Olympian wore some of our gear.”
“I’m not an Olympian
yet,” Rich commented.
“Rich Miller, I’ve
known you my entire life, and if anyone is going to be an Olympian, it’s you.”
Michelle Stubbon smiled at Rich as she started putting the pile of swimsuits,
track suits, shorts, and other things that he and Johnny needed for London in a
bag.
“Thanks, Michelle. I
appreciate the confidence everyone has in me.”
“Just remember us lowly
folk when you come home with Olympic gold,” she laughed as she handed Dan the
receipt.
Having retired in 2011 after more than 30 years as a chef, Max turned his creativity to writing. You can always find wonderful Southern charm, well rounded and vibrant characters with a good meaty story line in a Max Vos book. Each book will give you something new and amazing to love.

I love this post and the book sounds fabulous. I haven't read either Hero or this one yet, but it's only a matter of time. I did read other books by Max and thoroughly enjoyed each one of them.
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds good!
