Rim Shot by Skylar M. Cates

 





Kyle: Basketball is my life. I'm confident that with hard work, my position will carry me from rural Indiana to the NBA. I have big dreams, but they don’t include coming out of the closet. Admitting to the world that I’m attracted to guys is something I’m afraid to do. Basketball and my dad are everything to me, and I can’t risk losing either one. And now I’m secretly lusting after my new roommate, who is nothing like me. He’s out, proud, and definitely not a virgin.

Micah: My large family can't spare the money for my education, but that won't stop me from studying medicine—I’ll work my butt off to get where I need to go. I can deal with anything, now that I’m out of the house I shared with my ex, even if it means living with a straight jock. But our tiny dorm room is becoming smaller, and my feelings are becoming larger. What will Kyle do if I accidentally cross a line?

When a sports scandal rocks Kyle’s world, he and Micah fight for his reputation, and life's plans are turned upside down by love.

Rim Shot is a republished New Adult romance that contains tropes of forced proximity, friends-to-lovers, and hurt-comfort. It is a standalone work with a guaranteed HEA.





My Rating - 5 Stars!


Rim Shot is a great college romance by Skylar Cates. I loved it the first time I read it, and I love it again, as I re-read it prior to it's re-release. 

It's a  fabulous combination of new adult romance, closeted athlete, and roommates. This, of course, is one of my favorite types of stories.

Micah and Kyle get to really know each other when they become roommates. Kyle's a closeted gay athlete who is terrified to come out. Even to his gay roommate.

Their story includes some hot and yet embarrassing masturbation. Dear god, that scene is HOT!

Written in alternating first person pov, the reader is able to fully understand both men. 

Rim Shot is definitely a great choice if you're looking for a college romance.
