Blurb:
Travis Wyatt
All I’ve ever wanted was to go to college and get out of Kensley.That small town is all I’ve ever known. I want to be free to be myself, not stifled by small minds in the football-loving town where I grew up.
And then I blew my one and only chance.
So now, I’m just stuck. Stuck in small-town life, with the same small-town people I’ve always known. Stuck where I don’t want to be. Constantly on the defense and hiding secrets about myself. To never be the real me.
I’m lost, and I’m angry. But those people I was desperate to get away from, they don’t stop. They insist on showing me that maybe it’s not about my location.
That maybe I can be free right where I am.
Oakley Easton
Travis is way too uptight. I don’t know why. He has everything a guy could want—a steady job and friends who would do anything for him. A great simple, small-town life. But I guess that’s not what he wants.
He’s always been different. Better. Smarter. Stronger.
Still, I find myself wanting to show him everything he’s dreamed of is within his grasp. That he doesn’t have to be so serious all the time. That he can be himself wherever he is, and I’ll back him up.
Because that’s what I’m good at—on and off the field. I’ll always be his defender.
If he’d only let me.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -
Travis and Oakley were opposites but friends. Oakley was so open and honest that he was willing to take a chance on Travis. Their relationship was sort of vague so that they would not truly be hurt. Their connection was hot and very supportive. I found it interesting that the friends around them saw their feelings before even they did. There were moments where it felt a bit repetitive with their denials as to their feelings, but overall, the story was entertaining.
I received a copy of this story through Chaotic Creatives, and this is my unsolicited review.
