Review: Winter Ball

Winter Ball by Amy Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book!!-- 5 Stars

It is not secret that Amy Lane is one of my favorite male/male authors. She has a witty sense of humor and an ability to make even the most awkward man lovable. So it was really no surprise to me that I fell in love with Winter Ball - this is a unique and fun story that fits right in with all of Amy Lane's other stories.

In this story we have Skipper and Richie, two "straight" men who are socially awkward introverts, but they are best friends. These two love nothing more than to hang out together and you can usually find them together at Skippers house or playing Soccer.

I loved watching these two men realize that their feelings were more than friendly and then watching them learn to explore their sexual attraction to each other. Overall this is a feel good story full of awesome humor, heartwarming moments, and hot as hell sex.

One of my favorite moments of the story was between Skip and Richie as they told each other "I Love you"

"Love you, Richie." "Love you too, Skip." "That gets easier to say every time." "Yeah, I know. It's more important too, like, you know, brushing your teeth or coffee in the morning. Like you have to do it." "Yeah." Skip smiled, his fever receding somewhat, his brain tired but sound for the first time in days. "Like drinking water or going to the bathroom. You can't think of it not happening." "Or breathing, Skip. That sounds better." "Yeah. Like Breathing."

I just love the relationship between these two MC and how they were not afraid to show each other emotion or accept that they are gay. It was just something they accepted and moved on with life. Learning to love each other and build a life together.

Amazing Book!!
