Kick Off

The District Line, Book 1

De: C.F. White

Narrado por: Piers Ryman

One moment of madness ended it all. A flare of temper, a thrown punch, and Jay Ruttman’s dream of being a footballer evaporated.

Thrown out of the Pro Academy, Jay falls back to Plan B. University. At least he got accepted on the sports scholarship. It might keep his dreams alive. Now he has a new plan: head down. Train hard. Get scouted. That plan does not include falling for a rock musician - last thing he needs is a posh muso stirring up those well-hidden preferences that could end Jay’s career before it can even begin.

Sebastian Saunders is out and proud. This rich kid rock musician wants to live it up, chase the dream, and rock out for as long as he can, dodging his millionaire father’s plans for him to take the helm of the family business. He has a strict rule that he doesn’t date closet cases because he’s been there, done that. So that should mean not falling for shy, sexy footballers, no matter how pretty their baby blue eyes are.

For the sake of his heart. And both of their dreams.

Kick Off is the first book in the District Line series. A new-adult opposites-attract first-time sports/rocker contemporary MM romance serial featuring an East End cockney footballer, a West End elite public-school boy gone rogue, and the London tube line that connects them both.

Great storyline

Loved this story. The characters Jay and Seb are socool. I felt sorry for Jay having to hide who he is . I enjoyed Seb he is fun and exciting. They blend well together I was surprised. Can’t wait to listen to Break Through. The narrator was amazing

Pretty Good

Good characters, interesting storyline. Plenty of issues to overcome and deal with.

Our athletic MC is rightfully concerned about coming out. In his world, being homosexual is documented and any potential soccer teams would have access to that info. Decisions regarding his future might be based on that one fact.

Our musician MC has been out and doesn't have to depend on his sexuality to wow a crowd. Unfortunately, he does have to depend on his father's money to support the band.

Narrator Piers Ryman is delightful with his rough English accent. Terms that were unfamiliar to me were made clear with his usage and intonations. It was fun!

I gave the story only 4 **** because there was no clear conclusion to events hours in the making. It was too close to real life drama, and does not have an HEA. I really missed that.

amazing introduction to new author and narrator

this was a wonderfully entertaining story and and amazing introduction to both a new author and a new narrator for me. heading right into the next book.

Will true love prevail?

What a cliffhanger! This book definitely leaves you wanting to know if Seb and Jay will ever be able to get past their current life changes and have their families and professions accept their love. Can’t wait to read book 2!

heartbreaking pieces

My heart ached for Seb and Jay but I took heart because I read book 2 first and know what's to come or I'd be devastated right now!!! I loved the jabs Seb got in with dad and steven. I can't wait for book 3 and hopefully hea with karma!! The narrator did a great job. I voluntarily listened to tjis and am giving an honest review.
