Quarterback Sneak (Sugar Land Saints Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Baylin Crow (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 1,327 ratings
The boundaries of our friendship are tested and lines are crossed.

RUSH: I’m in love with my best friend.

There wasn’t an exact moment when I fell for him. It was something that grew and evolved over time. He loves me back, but it’ll never be more than platonic. It can’t be because he’s straight.

Then one night he kissed me and left me with more questions than answers. The very next morning my trust was shattered by a family secret. I’d been lied to my whole life. He was by my side through it all, offering support when I needed it most.

How can I risk losing a friendship that held me together when I was falling apart?

TORIN: He friend-zoned me.

Four years ago, I gathered enough courage to kiss my best friend. What I’d hoped would be a pivotal moment that would start a new kind of relationship between us was over before it began.

His world was upended, so I put my feelings aside and stepped back into my role as a friend he could count on.

He wasn’t ready then, but now it’s time to find out if he’s willing to take a chance on us being something more.

We’ve been friends, roommates and teammates, but I want him, body and heart.

    Short sweet and filled with steam! Loved this best friends to lovers story. You could feel the solid foundation that was between Torin and rush. They were always on the same wave length. Torin stepped up and took a step back from the developments in their relationship when rushs home life crumbled. He put rush first and allowed him to cope but four years later Torin is done waiting. I loved how he egged rush on and pushed him beyond being able to think. Rush needed the push because he was too scared to lose Torin to even consider admitting his feelings for Torin. I loved how once they got past the crossed line they just effortlessly gelled. Hell even their team thought their were already a together. Lol. Good story can’t wait for more.

    **3.5 stars**

    I needed a book that started with the letter Q for a challenge. I searched Amazon and this one came up in the results. And much to my surprise (and happiness!), it was MM romance!

    For a novella, I felt this quick read gave me a lot more than some shorter stories do. I liked the characters and the story didn’t feel rushed. I didn’t catch too many feels though, but I’m very glad I read this!

    The 4-year jump from high school to college was a bit much, especially for nothing to have happened between them during that time. That being said, I enjoyed this story enough to want to read the next books in the series. (HELLO Shaw & Bishop!!)

    This was a new-to-me author and I enjoyed her writing.

    2 stars for me, but I added an extra for readers that like this type of book.
    What you can expect
    Trope: m/m
    Length: what I consider a novella. I read in less than an hour.
    Character development: due to length very little, but what was there they were likable.
    Angst: none. No conflict at all just a story about how two friends became lovers.
    Heat: medium in my opinion, but this depends on the reader
    Side characters: medium. There wasn't a whole lot of material to get excited or crave anyone else's book, but it definitely let the reader know more books in this world were to come.
    Writing style / editing: the book flowed pretty well. I didn't notice any contradictions or major edition problems, so I'd say this was a really good point in the authors favor.
    My conclusion: while the book was just alright to me I will read the next one in the series. It wasn't a complete waste of time or awful. I feel the author has potential and will give her another shot at a different story.

    This story is about two very good friends since childhood. One is Bi and the other straight. These two characters really touched your heart and soul as the author developed them so true to life. Follow the story how feelings develop over time one more than the other but read how live between them grows and there football playing days in HS continue in college as there going too the same school there very successful and well respected so see how there relationship develops toward the end of there senior year and how the relationship develops. You will not put it down till the end then you will read the ending again. Read on and enjoy l

    Rush and Torin’s story makes for a satisfying novella. They have a deep connection that you can feel in every scene they’re in together. I love the way Torin not so subtly teases and comes on to Rush once he’s finally gotten tired of waiting for Rush to make a move or even just say something. But after four years and with college graduation impending, he finally can’t take it anymore. And he’s justifiably annoyed when Rush seems confused and uncertain about Torin’s feelings. I love how they end up coming out to their team and how the team reacts. If only real life could be like this. I also like that once they are both on the same page, they are all in and bypass a lot of steps because they already know each other so well. They are just really sweet together. I also thought the hints/teasers about characters from the rest of the series were woven into the story in a very natural way. Definitely piqued my interest.

    What didn’t work great for me was the thing that keeps them separated after their first kiss in high school. By itself it didn’t feel shocking or world changing enough to justify them going back into friend mode. Maybe this is a problem with the book being a novella—if it were longer more time could have been spent making the emotional impact of the revelation clearer as well as why it changed so much for these two.

    This is a fun, quick read. It’s low angst with an HEA. This was my first time reading this author but I’m looking forward to reading more of their books. Nash and Torin’s devotion to each other was incredibly sweet and made their relationship extremely believable.

    Absolutely loved reading a story where both MC’s received nothing but love and support from their families and friends when coming out. :)

    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2021

    This is a friends to lovers, low-angst, sweet sports romance. The emotions, dialogue, and sports all felt genuine, and the story was short but satisfying. However, I found myself constantly trying to remember who was who for our two MCs. They were just too similar. Not only did I forgot who was who (one had family drama in the very beginning, and that’s how I tried to remember), but when I was reading a chapter I’d also forget who was supposed to be narrating; their voices were very similar.

    I’ll probably read more from the series; we had some secondary characters introduced and I had no trouble telling them apart, and the possible storylines seemed interesting.

    Short, sweet and really cute! Loved their story. No big problems, not a slow burn but not rushed either. Just two best friends in love with each other and a romance delayed by a family secret and a tiny bit of miscommunication. Torin is a sexy sweetheart and Rush is a big, sweet and passionate teddy bear. Well written and satisfying for such a short story.

    What can I say? This book was a damn surprise and I'm so happy Baylin promoted it in a Facebook group I'm in.

    I'm in love with both Rush and Torin. All the side characters stole my heart, too. Hopefully Shaw, Bishop and Nash will shine when their time comes.

    BRAVO.
