About this listen

Some men are just off-limits. Like, say, all the other football players in the league….

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

But when I’m traded to his cross-town rivals, that’s not the time to serve up my secrets to him either. My team’s PR department wants to double down on our rivalry. I need to focus on football, not on my interest in men. Except, the more time I spend doing media appearances and charity events with the sexy, generous, popular guy, the hungrier I am to finish what we started.

It’s a bad idea to knock on his door late one night. I could lose everything. He’s probably not even home. But when the door swings open and I’m face to face with the man I want desperately, I have a choice to make.

A standalone, enemies-to-rivals-to-lovers, second chance sports romance full of secrets, first times and forbidden love…

This second chance, forbidden, rivals to lovers m/m romance kicks off (pun intended) with a prequel novella, The Boyfriend Kickoff. A great warmup to the forthcoming shenanigans between quarterback rivals Jason McKay and Beck Cafferty. As is Lauren Blakely’s trademark, there’s lots of romance, along with super sexy one on one time between the two MCs, Jason and Beck, two rivals who can’t seem to get enough of each other, they banter like pros, and their chemistry is off the charts smokin’ hot. Jason is the seasoned QB who takes newby Beck under his wing, guiding him through the public situations that amp up his anxiety levels. Some super sweet moments (I loved Bandit the kitty in all his scenes), and the friendships between the key players is precious. The audio version is narrated by Teddy Hamilton (Jason), and JF Harding (Beck), and together they bring the romance, and all their struggles to life. Utter perfection. Included in the audio is a link to a 6 minute bonus story, along with a preview of Limited Edition Husband, (Nate and Hunter’s story), narrated in duet by Teddy Hamilton and James Joseph.

Super sweet and sexy m/m sports romance

Teddy & JF Harding did a brilliant job as Beck's and Jason, I always look at any book to see who is narrorating these two were perfect together Lauren knows how to cast her characters with each other their was lots of emotion good to see how they challenged Beck's anxiety and how Jason supported him.
The chemistry between these two Rivel QB the only issue i had was can't believe in this day that America would disapprove of Rivel players falling in love.
I've got alot of MM in my library but Lauren is new to me just loved The Guy walked into my Bar Joe and Shaun were another great combination.

Lovely sweet novel

The Boyfriend Comeback is the first book in the Boyfriend Zone series. Each book in the series is about a different couple and can be read as a standalone. There is a prequel to this book called The Boyfriend Kickoff.

I have been waiting for Jason’s story since the Men of Summer series and it did not disappoint. This is honestly one of my favourite books this year!

Jason McKay is twenty seven years old, fun, kindhearted, confident, easygoing and charismatic.

Beck Cafferty is 24, intelligent, sweet, driven, resilient, endearing and my favourite of the two. Honestly, I think he is my favourite Lauren Blakely character so far! It was really inspiring to see a main character with anxiety.

They are both starting quarterbacks for rival teams. But Beck and Jason are so much more than this short description, they are both completely real in a really raw way.

Their white hot chemistry is so searing I had to fan myself several times! Lauren Blakely writes such intense love stories and her heroes are always worthy of the title.

Sport romances are some of my favourite romances to read: one of the things I love about them is the team’s energy and camaraderie-ship.

Fantastic narration is a Blakely trait; she knows how to cast her characters. Teddy Hamilton and J.F. Harding are so good together! Each is perfect creating the personalities that are Jason and Beck. I could hear every emotion and nuance in their voice.

Plus this book features a super cute tuxedo kitten who is half parrot … what more could you want?

The Boyfriend Comeback is a scorching hot, totally swoon worthy, emotional, forbidden, second chance sports romance that is a must read - you won’t want to miss it!

*Spoiler* This book does have sensitive content such as anxiety, death and grief.
