Sideline Infraction

Denver Mountain Lions, Book 3

By: Emily Silver

Narrated by: Tim Paige, J.F. Harding

What happens when I find the right guy at exactly the wrong time?

I'm Alex Young. Star quarterback for the Denver Mountain Lions. Captain of the team. Son. Brother. Teammate. And I'm gay.

No one can know. My secret could destroy everything. I lock myself up in the closet and throw away the key. It's better this way. I can focus on football and being the best quarterback I can be. Until him.

With that first look, I'm a goner. I've never met anyone like him. With each passing day, he's breaking down my walls that I've worked so hard to build.

But what if someone finds out? What if I'm outed to the world and cut from the team I love? I can't risk it.

But when Carter kisses me like that? I can't resist.

I am in so much trouble.

Emotional, heartfelt and steamy MM Romance

Oh my heart, “Sideline Infraction” is an emotional, heartfelt, steamy and fun story that grabbed me right from the beginning and stole my heart.

Alex Young is the captain and quarterback for the Denver Mountain Lions. Last season, his team was close to making it to the big game. It’s now a new season and he’s even more determined to get them the big win. But when a group of high school students come to a practice, their teacher catches his eye. Carter Brooks has sworn off anymore relationships with athletes after getting his heart broken by one in high school. However, he has a pull to Alex he can’t deny but Alex hasn’t come out of the closet due to the negative feedback he might get back from fans and other athletes.

Alex’s story of coming out is so raw and emotional, I had to wipe tears from my eyes several times. His struggles are so relatable to so many and as someone who is deeply involved in the LGBTQ community, I could see several of my friends as Alex and what they went through. I loved Carter from his very first POV chapter and how genuine he was. He loves his family and teaching and is such a good guy. I loved how these two met, especially with a certain connection Carter has to the Mountain Lions, and all the special moments we got to read as they became friends and then a couple. The steamy scenes were absolutely delicious and some of the spiciest Emily Silver has written and I’m all for it. The last few chapters grabbed me with the vulnerability of Alex and Carter. This is a story I will be thinking about for a long time and I can’t wait to start recommending it to readers.

J.F. Harding and Tim Paige were phenomenal as Alex and Carter. This story has all the emotions in it and they did a wonderful job bringing them to life. I loved their passion and heartfelt performances of my two favorite guys from Emily Silver’s world.
