About this ebook

Three years ago, cameraman Powell Perdue and quarterback Talbot Wojewódka called it quits, citing irreconcilable differences. Powell wanted to live honestly, while Talbot felt he couldn’t and still succeed in professional football. One knee surgery and a trade later, Talbot finds himself back in town and quarterbacking for the Raptors, a struggling expansion team. Powell’s also back, working as a cameraman for KJOC-TV, following two years in Amsterdam and a second failed relationship.

When an interview meant as a publicity play throws them into each other’s path, they’re forced to face a love that never quite died and wounds that never fully healed. For any hope at a win, they’ll have to change up the game. Talbot must brave walking through his closet door and into Powell’s arms, and Powell must risk his heart one more time by standing his ground and giving Talbot a second chance.

    2.5 stars. OK read, but the MC's got back together super fast.

    This story shows what can happen when two men run not only from each other, but from the fact that they're gay. Or maybe the latter is the cause of the problem? Either way, neither Powell nor Talbot are being very mature in this story and now that they're over thirty and both back in their home town, it looks as if it's time they man up, face the facts, and do something to end their misery.

    Powell is a master at trying to outrun his problems. Not that it ever worked, but he kept trying. He is still in love with Talbot, but you wouldn't be able to tell from his behavior. To tell the truth, he has some reason to be upset with Talbot, and the wound from what Talbot did (or Powell thought he did) never healed. A chance encounter (in a club's bathroom of all places) finally leads to the long-needed confrontation. Not that it leads to the kind of outcome that I expected - or that makes sense.

    Talbot is as much an idiot as Powell. Not ready to come out when Powell asked him to, he also ran, burying himself in his football career. Not that it made him happy, and returning home and running into Powell again clarifies a few things for him as well. Talbot knows full well it is up to him to take the first step, but he also knows 'it takes two to tango', as they say. As it turns out, he has a couple more steps ahead of him than he thought...

    If you like stories about men who have run from themselves for years before they see the light, if you enjoy reading coming out stories, even if the closet doors open later in life, and if you're looking for a read full of drama, emotions, and deep passion, then you will probably like this short story.
