Like Teammates, Book 1

De: Jonah Yorke

Narrado por: Daniel Lewis, Tom Taylorson

Tommy

I should hate Rowan Hughes. He was a bully when we were kids, and now I find out he's messed around with my girlfriend. But how can I hate the campus soccer star when he's everything I've always wanted to be?

With my reputation on the line, I can't let Rowan get away with humiliating me in front of people I know—people we both go to school with.

When he swears he didn't know Annalese was my girlfriend, I actually believe him. When he says I'm good enough to play beside him, I want to believe that too. But when he insists he's not gay, all I want is to prove him wrong.

Rowan

I made one dumb decision at a party, and now Tommy Mathison thinks I'm into his girl. He couldn't be more wrong, but it's not because I'm gay. It's because I'm weak. Now I've got a beefed-up babyface's knuckle prints bruising the side of my face, and I can't get him out of my head.

Tommy isn't weak, and he may just be the missing piece my team needs to win a championship before I go pro. I don't know why he quit soccer after high school, but getting him back on the field is easy. Keeping him close without losing control? That's the real challenge.

Sweat is a high-spice hurt/comfort sports romance that deals with heavy themes related to identity, mental health, grief, and coping with past trauma. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Surprisingly tender

This story was surprisingly tender and sweet. The slow self acceptance is a story many queer people understand well.

Beautiful

I love a story with characters that actually talk to each other. What a fantastic book. The conflict was realistic, the characters grew and the story was believable. Loved it. 10/10.

Outstanding

If I could give it 10* I would. These boys have my heart! Get ready to have your heart broken and then glued back together again

BEAUTIFUL!

This book was amazing on every level. I inhaled it and now Im sad it's over. I cannot wait for the next book! In the meantime, I'm going to be looking into this author's other work. The style, the story, the heat- all exceptional. The narrators are fantastic as well!

Tearjerker

This was a sweet but heavy book. I'm very glad I gave it a listen. Narration was very enjoyable, and other than not hearing the word smooch much before this (so cute) I think this was a very enjoyable listen.
