Great listen!

I am new to this author and I must say I fell in love with Alex and Dane. This story had the right mix of tension and ease between the two leads. I am a fan of M/M sport romances and I loved the supporting cast of team members that added a lot and made the story full. Nick J Russo is a instant click for me. He is such a spectacular narrator and is always spot on with his intrepretations of each character. OMG Dane's volice in this story was swoon worthy! I immediately bought book two and look forward to listening. I highly recommend!

great story

Alex and Dane got their second chance, just as they should have! I loved everything about this. The story was great and the narration was awesome. Nick J Russo is a great narrator!!

Relay: Changing Lanes Book #1
MMy Thoughts and Review:

If you are looking for a story that is ninety percent Olympic focused ten percent romance, you need to look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a second-chances, enemies to lovers, rich-man/ poor-man, coming out, hurt/ comfort, slow-burn, "lookout Nancy Kerrigan, I may have spotted Tanya Harding around the corner," then this is definitely the book for you.

The characters are fleshed out, and with Russo narrating, this story is lively, full of humor, grief, angst, and eventually joy and happiness. The ride is rocky between the MCs, Dane and Alex, with their very emotional and somewhat hostile break-up, from ten years ago, dripping over into the USA swimming team's training camp. Tempers stay locked and loaded, and it's the members on their team who feel each shot as it leaves the barrel any time the safety is off.

How much these two stubborn men will lose before they put their demons to rest is/ was actually good for some personal introspection. I always love, hate, and in the end appreciate when the author tugs at something inside me. This is a really good reminder of not being able to undo those things we say or do in haste, anger, fear, jealousy, or ignorance.

Excellent story. I highly recommend this audiobook!
