Choke Up

A Forbidden MM Sports Romance (Forbidden Goals)

De: Rebecca Rathe

Narrado por: Jake Bordeaux

Ellis Hope has one goal for his first year at college: be his own person. He’s determined to break free from his brother Elliot’s shadow, and get over the soul crushing attraction he has for his brother’s best friend. The campus meetup app provides an effective distraction from Gabe and Elliot making waves as the new star players for Huntston University’s baseball team.

Gabe Rodgers is loyal to his best friend to a fault, but his thoughts toward Elliot’s smaller, softer twin are anything but brotherly. When he finds out Ellis is meeting hook-ups on a campus meetup app, protectiveness, or maybe possessiveness, drives him to make an anonymous profile. Pretending to be someone else, he finds himself drawn to Ellis more than ever before.

But will their connection be as strong when Ellis finds out that his secret meetups have been with the very guy he’s been trying to avoid? And when the blindfold is removed, will either of the brothers be able to forgive Gabe for his deception?

All books in the Forbidden Goals series are standalone and do not need to be listened to in any particular order.

Amazing narration, good story

Loved Jake’s narration in here with the two different voices for each POV. It just made it that much better. I loved the book the first time I read it, but this audiobook took it to another level!

Wow

This was the first of Rebecca’s books that I’ve read/listened to and I really enjoyed it. This was entertaining and very spicy 4/5 🌶️ . I loved Gabe and Ellis, their chemistry from the beginning was magnetic. If you like forbidden, best friends brother romance you will love this. I plan on listening to the other books.

A favorite! A must listen to!

I’m mad at every single person who did not force me to read/listen to this book sooner! I’m obsessed with Gabe and Ellis. This was one of the hottest books I’ve listened to but that doesn’t surprise me at all when it comes to Rebecca.

I loved the fake profile aspect and the physical sneaking around. I loved that Gabe spilled so much more than the normal guy. I love brother’s best friend. So basically this book had everything I wanted.

Yes there were times I was angry and wanted to shake Gabe and times I wanted to tell Ellis to trust himself and then tell Gabe the truth but these idiots figured it out and made me fall in love with them.

Please read this book and then come yap to me about it. It’s a top Rebecca read for me.

Oh and Jake crushed the audio like he always does!

Ellis had my heart through this book

I loved how both MC’s cared so much for the other that they kept misunderstanding each other. I also love how their relationship developed once Gabe got out of his head.

🔥🔥

Again, Rebecca continues this series with another great story. I love that so far all of the books have been so different from each other. This story was a brother's best friend It's always been you, virgin mmc, secret identity story with lies and betrayal. Parts of the story I guess you could say were a toxic love story with the way that Gabe acted towards Ellis, but at the end of the day his heart was in the right place. Gabe did not know how to properly express his feelings and he didn't want to hurt anybody. Did Gabe make some bad choices?He did. Should he not have lied?Of course, not, but it made for a really good story. I loved the real issues that Rebecca brought to this story , especially when it comes to the first time that they are intimate together. Another thing I really loved and this story was the acceptance. I feel like in so many MM coming out books there is always so much hatred and homophobia and with this one they were so accepting , I just loved it so much. This one again did not have them going all the way really until later in the book, but the spice 🥵🥵 It was still very spicy and the spicy scenes, they just hit right. And there was just something about a breeding kink in an MM romance that just hits every single time.
