A Deeper Blue

Rules of Possession, Book 2

By: S.E. Harmon

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Sean Crisden

A year ago, Kelly Cannon couldn't imagine he'd end up with his formerly straight best friend. It's hard to believe he can finally kiss Blue anytime he wants...as long as they're in private. And there's the rub. Despite Kelly's promise to wait until Blue is ready to come out, he's tired of sneaking around. The cracks in their relationship are starting to show, and there might not be enough Spackle in the world to fix them.

Britton "Blue" Montgomery may not be the physics brainiac his boyfriend is, but he's not stupid. He knows Kelly isn't completely happy, but he's not ready to be the poster boy for bisexuals and gays in the NFL. He just wants to keep his head down, play the game he loves, and go home to the man he adores. Is that too much to ask?

With the truth slowly coming to the surface, Blue must make a choice. If it means losing Kelly, there's no decision to make. He has to find enough courage to face the music and hope they'll survive the fallout.

Man. Happily ever afters may not be just for Disney princesses, but they sure are a lot of work.

Sexy as ALL GET OUT!

Blue and Kelly's story is sexy as all get out! The first book was great, and the was not exception with the one. The narration from both narrators was simply amazing. I was totally entertained. I so highly recommend. ENJOY!

Football references

There was far too much football talk. . I’m not into football so that and I got bored.

Heartwarming love

I loved the humor laced with sarcasm. The writer kept the story development true and the characters real.

Wow! funny & 🔥🔥🔥

😂🔥💘🔥
I don't often leave reviews, however this series had it all for me. I had never read/listened to the author before, but I will definitely be adding them to my list of favorites. the writing was done so well and the narrators were fantastic in bringing the characters to life. So much well written funny sarcasm and inner thoughts and and the sideline characters interactions added so much to Blue and Kelly's story. Some serious full belly laugh moments, and so much love. It was a realistic depiction to me as well not all perfection but the love they shared you felt it! I cannot wait for the 3rd book to be available to listen to.

A huge improvement over the first book

The first book felt more like Kelly's story, while this was certainly Blue's. Blue sees a much stronger characterization and has a good arc. There is also actually a plotline this time. However, I still have issues with Kelly never really being able to hold his ground when he is upset by something. Overall, the whole book was much more complex and had more interesting themes than the first book. I think the epilogue was quite odd though.

I WANT MORE BLUE!

We need more! I loved these two! From beginning to end they were just awesome - and about as obtuse as two guys can get! I laughed out loud at several junctures from both of these two books - they are both sweet - and caring and I just couldn't quit reading the story of their love. My only complaint is the lack of time devoted to their intimacy - Don't get me wrong, I do not read these books purely for sexy times - in fact I've been known to quit any romance novel wherein the characters immediately engage in gratuitous acts without any emotion - but i feel there are long drawn out periods between their closeness - - I think that's a bit of a mistake - that said, lovely characters, lovely story - real feeling - raw and wonderful at the same time - PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF THESE TWO!!!!
PS THESE TWO ROCK AT NARRATION!!! PERFECT FOR THESE TWO!!!!

I choose you, again, and again, and again

I can’t believe this has come to an end, my “Klue”, Kelly and Blue, (we are not calling the couple “Belly” as Blue requested not to 😂) the sweetest and one of my favorite ever couples. And wow, what a journey it is! 🥰 In case you still don’t know from the previous reviews and after following me for a long time, S.E. Harmon is solely responsible for converting me into loving sports romances and she definitely is the one who encourages me to the path of reading more contemporary romances. 😌 I loved the first book “The Blueprint” and it’s also hands down one of the best and masterfully done friends to lovers story. And it ended with a definitely HFN. But I’ll admit that I was worried. 😅 How would Miss Harmon craft and manipulate into getting their happily ever after without sacrificing their careers? It was a damn difficult task! 😳 Of course, I shouldn’t have doubted because I think this book has one of the most beautiful and satisfying HEAs among all the books I’ve ever read. Now now, enough raving and let’s move onto reviewing. 😘


Kelly is tired, just tired of everything after pretending Blue doesn’t belong to him in public eyes for the sake of his career for six months. Blue wanted to come out for him when they first decided they would be together. But now, he’s very reluctant to change what’s been working for them, at least on the surface. But it’s not enough for Kelly. He’s starting to resent being Blue’s dirty little secret. He hated every second seeing Blue having to go out with drop-dead-gorgeous women in public for his career sake. And no one except hands full of people know they are together. And he hated it. Blue knows Kelly isn’t happy. But there’s just no NFL player who comes out while they are still playing. He doesn’t want to be poster boy for LGBTQ people and be under media microscope for 24/7. Is it too much to ask to play the games he love, to come back into the arms of the man he loves and just be with him? They were friends for their whole lives before they started dating. They have never fought before they get together but now even the smallest things seem to ignite arguments between them. But Blue knows he has to do something and do it soon or else, he would lose Kelly. Kelly and Football are the two greatest loves in his life but perhaps wanting both in his life is an impossible dream. Blue knows he can’t survive and function without Kelly. Now he just needs to find out how he would deal with losing football from his life. After all, love is worth everything.


I really thought Blue had to drop out of NFL to be with Kelly. And frankly that’s one of the reasons I stayed away from sports romances before. I hated the athlete almost always having to give up their careers for the sake of love. 😑 However thank to all deities that it isn’t the case here. Blue was able to have both Kelly and his career in the end. Comparing with the first book which has lots of UST and the conflict of should we or shouldn’t we, this book definitely focuses on the romantic relationship development between Blue and Kelly as a couple. They thought they have known each other for their whole lives but turned out it isn’t true once they decided to be a couple. 😁 And Kelly was as witty and snarky as ever with his killer remarks, hilarious banters and witty snarks. And who knew Blue could be so romantic. Such a closeted softie and a romantic and a super cuddler. 😉 And the smut? 😏 Oh the glorious toe-curling sex, I unashamedly listened those love scenes several times because they really are on fire! 🔥 Hot, passionate, loving and just so romantic! 🔥 And I loved the audio of the first book but this one is even better. The duo narration of Alexander Cendese and Seaf Crisden was just heavenly! 😍 I think these two makes great couple narration. This book was just incredibly and unbelievably romantic. Just so many swoon-worthy and awwwwwwwww moments. The banters were just heartmelting! 💜 And the ending? Damn! That ending! 😱 Miss Harmon is known for not writing epilogues but this one has a fairytale epilogue. 🥰 And true to his nature, Kelly was snarky and hilarious until the end. And special shout out for all the secondary characters in this story. They elevated an already wonderful story to a whole other level. I want spin-offs for lots of support characters from this series and I vow to hound Miss Harmon until we get one. 😁 For now, I’m one happy, satiated bookworm who’s still high from Kelly&Blue cocktail! 😉 Loved it to the moon and back! 💜💜💜

The most incredible journey

This has become my favorite book I got lost and dragged into a journey I never wanna Ted to end.

secretly hoping for a 3rd book in the series

I loved this series... both characters are hilarious and the narration is very well done... no spoilers but I feel like the way it ended we won't be getting a 3rd book, however I'm REALLY hoping S.E. Harmon decides to bless us with one more. I'm already having major Blue and Kelley withdrawals and I think I finished the book maybe 5 minutes before writing this... cue the infamous "book hangover"

Fantastic Read or Listen

Read BluePrint 1st, Kelly & Blue are amazing. This story is beyond well written, it thoughtful & insightful. Kelly has the patience of a saint, he’s quirky, brainy, and so loyal. Blue is a football player tried and true- with that comes some ingrained baggage but he’s protective, kind, and braver than than he knows. Reconciling your heart and mind and being fierce enough to risk your dreams and start new ones, it’s a special kind of love. Doesn’t matter who you love, this is where you’ll find couple goals like no other. Ohh and the witty, clever, piffy banter is to die for
