About this listen
Kenyon Ellis knows getting involved with Julian Anderson is an enormous mistake—but from the very first night, he finds him annoying, intriguing and ultimately, irresistible.
One, Kenyon is a player, and Julian is a reporter, so hooking up with him, no matter how spectacular the nights are, is a terrible idea.
Two, he’s falling for him, even if Julian continues to be prickly and impossible. But every time Julian’s walls shift, Kenyon sees the real man behind the attitude, and he only wants more.
Three, between the Piranhas and the charity work he’s committed to, Kenyon really doesn’t have the time for a relationship—but a relationship with Julian turns out to be exactly what he wants.
Maybe even exactly what he needs.
But when Julian starts calling out his performance on the field, the last thing Kenyon expects is to feel betrayed. But is it betrayal? Or does Julian simply see something in Kenyon he’s lost along the way?
The answer leads him not only to love, but to the biggest crossroads of his life.
The fifth and final Miami Piranhas book.

This was the end of this series and it was a great end. This book can be read as a standalone but u will want to read the previous books to get to know Kenyons character, the great world building and side characters.
The nararrator did a great job and brought the story to life. He had a pleasant reading voice. He expressed all the emotions wonderfully. He gave all the characters distinct voices that made it easy to follow the story. While I appreciated the narrators attempt to give the side characters their own distinct voice as well and not just the 2 MCs, Julians female bosses voice was hard to bear and she was in this quite a bit. That's the only thing I didnt like. Other than that it was a pleasure to listen to.

The heat, the snark, the denial between them… what an amazing story! I was hooked from the taster at the end of the last book and it only got better the more I read!
Absolutely amazing listen!
The icing on an amazing cake

I haven't seen much of Kenyon, who is the subject of this book, in the previous volumes. No wonder, because in addition to playing football, he is involved in a charitable organization.
Kenyon meets Julian in a bar and things get heated. But Kenyon doesn't know that Julian is a sports reporter and Julian doesn't recognize Kenyon. This comes as a shock the next day, but the two can't keep their hands off each other.
They are well aware of the risk they are taking. And the more they meet, the more it feels like a relationship, but the two are very good at fooling both themselves and each other.
Julian and Kenyon couldn't be more different. Their childhoods were very opposite and now they are on opposite sides, but they share a love of football.
Once you get to know Julian better, you understand him, but it takes a while and it was very frustrating.
I really liked Kenyon, he's likeable and the chemistry between them is palpable. But sometimes I would have liked to shake them both because they didn't see what was right in front of them.
The story was told in an entertaining way, it got emotional at times and I sometimes wanted to give Julian a hug. The ending was wonderful, I loved it. But I regret that this series has now come to an end. I was very happy to see beloved characters from the previous volumes here again.
As always, Darcy Stark did a fantastic job reading the audiobook. I loved the voices he chose for the male protagonists. I didn't quite like the choice of voice for Julian's boss, but that wasn't too bad as his performance was very entertaining and a pleasure to listen to.
Saved the Best for Last!

I loved Kenyon's character, he's never been in love, he has his own problems, but he is so patient and understanding with Julian, that you can't help fall a little in love with him. That's not to say he's all mushy because wow! The man may be sweet, but he knows when the bring out the heat and his possessive side. His character's the perfect amount of sugar and spice, and I absolutely adored that he fell first. He's perfect for Julian, I enjoyed how their relationship developed.
Beth Holden’s books always have a really good back story! She is so skilled at developing her characters and their worlds, that their emotions hit you hard. Darcy brought the characters perfectly to life.

Narration: First time ever for me where I had to speed the audio up a little bit, but other than that, a very good performance! All the emotions were acted out spot on.
