A Novel in the Long Pass Chronicles
Will Ashford lives in two closets. He meets his wealthy father's goals as both the quarterback for the famous SCU football team and a business major, but secretly he attends art school and longs to live as a painter. And he's gay. But if he can win the coveted Milton Scholarship for art, he'll be able to break from his father at the end of his senior year.
In a painting master class, Will meets his divergent opposite, Noah Zajack. A scarred orphan who's slept on park benches and eaten from trash cans, Noah carefully plans his life and multiple jobs so he has money and time to go to art school. Will's problems seem like nothing compared to Noah's. Noah wants the scholarship too and may have a way to get it since the teacher of his class has designs on him, a plan Will isn't happy about.

My Rating - 5 Stars!
Outing the Quarterback is a fantastic college sports romance. I absolutely loved this first book in Tara Lain's Long Pass Chronicles the first time I read it. It's now being re-released and it's just as wonderful as I remembered.
Will and Noah are great characters, both well developed and complex.
Will's a closeted football player who can't help but to fall for the beautiful Noah,
Will's life is just what you'd imagine for a closeted football player. He's dating the head cheerleader, has a rich, controlling father, and he is firmly set upon staying in the closet while playing football. What makes him unique though is that he has a passion for art and wants to pursue that in his future. For now, he's just waiting for college to end.
And then he meets Noah. Noah's an artist who's beautiful, yet is unique in that he has a scar on his face. For some, that scar is all they see. But for Will, that scar just makes Noah more attractive and more intriguing.
Outing the Quarterback is a great read. Everything about this Tara Lain story left me mesmerized throughout. I enjoy the complex characters and their far from typical journey. Definitely check this one out if you enjoy sports romances. You won't regret it.
