Derek has come to Twin Pines because the great distance means his family isn’t around to get nosy about his dates, which allows him to stay firmly in the closet. Playing football is just a bonus. And then he meets the almost impossibly handsome quarterback, Brandon Sanders, a man worth coming out for.

Brandon’s refined looks hide a dark and compelling desire that is conflicted by his father’s demands for perfection. To placate his controlling father, Brandon has always lived a closeted and unfulfilling existence.

Determined to have Brandon by any means necessary, Derek engages him in a contest wherein the victor will have total control over the loser.

But when he finds out Brandon has never gone all the way, Derek has to decide if he’ll claim his prize or not.

This is the second in the Gridiron God’s series and the first I’ve read. I felt a little lost in this story. There were a few things that weren’t explained and I was left wondering what they meant. This is a shifter story, bears to be exact, but it wasn’t talked about much. This was more of a love story between Brandon and Derek and how they overcome their struggles. The paranormal aspects were just a small part of this book.

Overall, I really enjoyed the story. It has strong male characters, both struggling for what they want, plus the extremely graphic love scenes had me glued to the very end. In the first few pages the author whets the reader’s appetite with an erotic little game of gay chicken and from there keeps the heat turned up on every encounter between Brandon and Derek. Dirty talk, toys, and wildly unadulterated sex between two consenting adults was highly entertaining. I would recommend reading the first in the series so you have that extra bit of background story. This was an enjoyable read and I look forward to more from the Gridiron Gods.
