Ineligible Receiver

Package Deal, Book 5

By: Emerson Beckett, Rheland Richmond

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, J.F. Harding

A sexy and emotional story about two best friends that secretly fall in love, but struggle to keep a heartbreaking secret from tearing them apart.

When I met Greg Foster, the straight tight end for the Portland Pirates, the rookie needed a friend to bring him out of his shell. There was more to the shy twenty-two-year-old bookworm than met the eye, and I was the perfect person for the task. My roommate and best friend, Christian, was involved with the Pirates QB, so a new friend to hang out with was good.

I pushed down my attraction to him and became the best friend he ever had. We bar-hopped all over Portland and played video games in our apartments. We even loved the same indie band from Seattle.

Then we f--ked up when we fell in love. And by f--ked up, I mean we got married even though we knew our marriage had to remain a secret.

No one knew about us. Not even our closest friends. And every time they asked, we gave them the same line . . . we're just friends.

And ultimately, the reason for that secret would tear us apart. Now, here I was three years after meeting him, and wasn't sure how to survive without him. He was the love of my life, and I was his.

Contains mature themes.

Love worth the closet

I loved this! it was amazing to see the story of Coop and Greg after hearing about them in all the other books. I cried with them during their hard times!

Fantastic Series

I loved them all so well written I really love how all the characters are always together.

Always and forever

We’ve loved Cooper and Greg since the first book in this wonderful series and for some reason I thought I had known them. But wow what an amazing book and love story! Lots of hard things they had to work thru but it’s all possible with so much love. Alexander Cendese and JF Harding were amazing amazing at their narration of this ever expanding family.

Absolute Perfection...work, love and family

Please note, you must not listen to this book before the others. The writing is sublimely hilarious, free flowing with sexy time and overflowing with respect and adoration. The heat factor is high but does not take away from the amazing story line. Another stellar performance by two amazing narrators.

Love this series

This group of men. they are incredible. Book 5 and these couples and stories just keep getting better and better. I love a series like this that has a whole group that becomes family. All finding love. the narration is fabulous. Cendese and Harding are a great team. they really bring these stories and characters to life. the teaser about the couple in book 6 ....... I can't wait!
