Blurb
Two men.
One night of passion.
They never expected to see each other again.
They were wrong.
Tobias Bennett is a quiet and unassuming man who teaches yoga and enjoys parkour. Though he is proud to be gay, an abusive relationship with a domineering man has left Tobias wary of romance, and he keeps to himself in his tidy Los Angeles apartment.
Pro football player Sullivan Archer is Tobias’s complete opposite: loud, brash, fond of the spotlight… and deep in the closet. When a hamstring injury sends Van to Tobias as part of his therapy, neither of them is expecting to come face-to-face with his one-night stand. Now they’re stuck together throughout Van’s healing process, and the close proximity will force them to deal with some hard truths. For Tobias, it’s realizing his hookup is a celebrity. For Van, it means accepting that he likes Tobias more than he wanted. They’ll both have to acknowledge that if they choose to pursue a relationship, their lives will change in big ways.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Fair Catch is one of those special sports romances that I fell for immediately. It is everything I love about sports romances.
Van's a closeted football player, who's one of the best in the game. Anyone can understand why he's been hiding in the closet, as it's realistic to fear telling your teammates that's your gay in any sport, let alone a macho one.
Meeting Toby changes his world. It's a long and scary road for them, but Toby's the guy who inspires Van to stop hiding in the closet.
Toby's ex, and the story of the abuse Toby suffered at his hands is tragic. My heart was breaking for the loveable man.
I absolutely love this story, and I am shocked I had not heard of it until now. It has everything that I love in a sports romance. Yet, even better, Toby is a wonderful mix of being a yoga master and is a lover of parkour. Love it!
I enjoy the ups and downs of their relationship, the hiding, and all the complications that entails.
Leo is Toby's best friend, and he's positively charming, adding some more fun to the tale.
In Fair Catch, Leigh Carman masters the challenges associated with being a closeted athlete and anyone dating one. The fear, the secrets, and the animosity. It's a wonderfully sweet and sexy romance that I loved.
