BLURB

After a romantic evening, Rich and Johnny face the light of day as a couple.
Johnny’s coming out forces them to face some serious repercussions as the world of collegian jocks adjust to their first openly gay football player.


Rich is still working towards the World Diving Championships with his hopes and dreams set on the 2012 London Olympic Games, while as a couple they deal with concerns closer to home.


With the support of friends and family, the young couple grow closer together, but with prejudices and adversity at every turn will Johnny and Rich be able to tackle the world together?


No matter what, Rich will always be Johnny’s hero.

EXCERPT


“No, I’m not going to and there is nothing you can say that will make me either.” Johnny crossed his arms, a defiant look on his face, his eyes narrowed slits.


“Oh come on, John, I wear them.” Rich held up the skimpy black racing briefs. “For me?”


Johnny looked away. “No. I said no and I mean no.”


Rich leaned in close to Johnny so only he could hear. “If you wear this, I can guarantee you some of the best sex in your life. If you think I get turned on by jock straps…”


Johnny glared down at Rich. “You don’t play fair.”


“Wasn’t it you who recently said that all is fair in love and war?” Rich smirked as he dangled the tiny briefs in front of Johnny.


“It better be the best ever.” Johnny let his arms drop. “Okay. But you promised.”


Again, Rich leaned in close. “Maybe even join the mile high club.”


Johnny’s eyebrows shot up and a grin blossomed on his face. “Deal.”


“Are we done here?” Dan called to the two college men. He was standing at the counter, credit card in hand.


“One more thing, Dad.”


Rich hurried over to him. “This.”


Dan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Oookay then.”


Rich snickered when he saw Johnny blushing.


“I think this will be all,” Dan said to the clerk.


“I’m going to give you a discount,” the young woman said as she rang it up. “It isn’t every day that we can say an Olympian wore some of our gear.”


“I’m not an Olympian yet,” Rich commented.


“Rich Miller, I’ve known you my entire life, and if anyone is going to be an Olympian, it’s you.”


Michelle Stubbon smiled at Rich as she started putting the pile of swimsuits, track suits, shorts, and other things that he and Johnny needed for London in a bag.


“Thanks, Michelle. I appreciate the confidence everyone has in me.”


“Just remember us lowly folk when you come home with Olympic gold,” she laughed as she handed Dan the receipt.

REVIEW
This is the sequel to My Hero and is the continuation of Rich and Johnny’s story.

Now both are committed to their relationship and being out in the open, the two come across some harsh realities of the haters and homophobes. But their love for each other remains strong throughout. There is also the pressure of Rich being part of Team USA and competing in the Olympics in London which adds another tension in their relationship.

The passion as always is a key element to Rich and Johnny’s story and for me seems to get even hotter. However it was the depth of their feelings for each other that shone throughout. The relationship strengthened and the character development of them both was great to see.

I also loved that the secondary characters from the previous book returned, especially Rich’s dad, Don and Anita and Ruthie (who each got some action too!)


There is a great epilogue that compounded the overall feel of this book of love and understanding and how to give back to others. A really lovely and involving storyline that had me sighing at the end with a touch of the happy. Four stars.
