Latino linebacker Emilio Madero has a huge crush on the new backup quarterback. He's perfection in motion with his lean, muscled body and rich-boy good looks. But there's no way in hell Emilio is going to do anything about it. He'll just have to be content with fantasizing about the guy of his dreams and watching him from afar, because hitting on another player is out of the question. That is until Andrew turns the tables and makes the first move. Then all bets are off as the two of them drift into uncharted territory.

Initiation is a short novella focusing on the lust and romance that sparks between two football players on a college football team. Emilio is a linebacker who’s firmly in the closet, but he can’t keep his eyes off of Andrew, the cute new quarterback. Lucky for Emilio, Andrew wants more than just Emilio’s eyes on him – he wants his hands and much, much more. The chemistry between these two young men is electric and hot. For a short novella, the characters and relationship were nicely developed and didn’t feel rushed. I wished the book was a little longer just because I wanted to experience more of the relationship between Emilio and Andrew, but I did find the ending pretty satisfying. The audiobook narration was well done and I quite enjoyed the overall production.

Enjoyable Love Story

So this is a bit sized love story that is pretty angst-ridden.

Emilio has a crush on Andrew but fears he’s out-classed by the all American freshman. Not to mention that he can’t just be gay with a guy on the team.

The night the two get together is a truly awful event of hazing and then furtive sex between a jaded “player” and a golden-hearted virgin. Andrew has a lot to teach Emilio about love – the kind you do with your heart.

The smexy times are super hot between these two and in a short number of pages you get the idea that they just might have a chance at something – it’s definitely something that keeps you interested in the series.

But… be warned it is hard to read at times, there is a lot of pain in this story, but a lot of feels too. And a HFN, no HEA – not yet.

Chris Patton is amazing. I really have become quite a fan of his. I’ve enjoyed every one of his narrations and though he doesn’t do anything “over the top”, he is really good at handling emotions and making you part of the story. It definitely adds to the overall experience.

Chris Patton is one of my favorite narrators

loved this novella and was sorry it wasn't a full length book. I was hoping book two would be a continuation of Emilio and Andrew because their characters were so rich and I found Emilio fascinating and wanted to know more about his life. however I still got my HEA and loved it!

loved it!
