Publisher's summary

Some men are just off-limits. Like, say, all the other football players in the league….

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me.

I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

But when I’m traded to his cross-town rivals, that’s not the time to serve up my secrets to him either. My team’s PR department wants to double down on our rivalry. I need to focus on football, not on my interest in men. Except, the more time I spend doing media appearances and charity events with the sexy, generous, popular guy, the hungrier I am to finish what we started.

It’s a bad idea to knock on his door late one night. I could lose everything. He’s probably not even home.

But when the door swings open and I’m face to face with the man I want desperately, I have a choice to make.

A stand-alone enemies-to-rivals-to-lovers, second-chance sports romance full of secrets, first times, and forbidden love….

⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️

And She did it again!!!! Every time I finish one of Lauren Blakely's MM Romance books I think this is the best one yet... Then she writes another one that becomes the best one! I loved this book, I loved these characters and I loved their Love story!!! Seriously I loved Jason & Beck so much I just wanted to hug them both. This one hit all the feels for me <3 I can not wait for more books in this world Lauren has created. PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!!

The narration was PERFECTION! I love both Teddy Hamilton & JF Harding and together they set this audiobook on fire!

Awesome narration saves me

What can I say????…. Once you’ve heard one sports romance you’ve heard the hundreds(maybe more) m/m romance. It’s so typical and yes nothing new. I sure wish authors would step out of the sports or fake date or falling in love with rent boy or bodyguards in love with client. That’s all it feels like the storyline of most books in this genre. This one is so typical it’s rediculous. But it has JF Harding and Teddy Hamilton. Without them I would never had finished this book. Why can’t authors have more originality. Another positive about this story is the two MCs are very manly. No makeup no pink crop tops but true manly men in love with a manly man. I guess I need to step out of this genre for awhile. But my fear is I’ll come back 1 year later to the same repetitive storyline in the multitude. Also I’d miss narrators JF Harding, Teddy Hamilton , Dan Calley, Gary Furlong , Nick Russo and Hamish Long. I can’t say it’s worth the credit as it’s almost the same story that you have in multiples however the narration saves it.

6 Stars! One of my favorites of the year!

The Boyfriend Comeback is Lauren Blakely's new MM rivals-to-lovers, second chance football romance! I have been in love with Jason since we first met him in the Men of Summer Series (if you haven't read that, go and get it now!) Every once in a while a book will just get you in the feels! It comes into your life at the perfect time and you feel it in your heart, body and soul. Jason and Beck's romance is that book for me this year! There is just something about Jason's positive attitude, openness, loyalty and humor that draws you in. Beck's serious, but funny and his struggles made him more human! Together they complement each other perfectly. It's not easy being the starting quarterback, especially when your crush plays for the city's other team. It's also not easy being out and proud in the sports world, but Jason and Beck make it work. They have their ups and downs, but their desire to be together is bigger than all the obstacles. Lauren never ceases to amaze me with her talent for writing deep, fun, sexy characters and she's quickly become one of my favorite MM authors! Jason and Beck are two of my favorite characters of Lauren's and you know I don’t say that lightly. There was just something special about these two. They are all heart and soul and their personal stories and their love story just got to me! I hope we see them again soon!

Audio: Teddy and JF were freaking amazing! I love this pairing more than I thought I would. They were the perfect Jason and Beck for me!

The Boyfriend Comeback

This book felt like the hug I needed.
That might sound odd but these two characters and their story gave me all the warm fuzzies.
It’s one of the reasons I love romance so much, when you find that story that melts your heart makes you root for the characters and keeps you wanting more. More love, more time, and just more friendship.

Even though they play on different teams and are pinned against each other in the media. They were never anything but friendly with the good sportsmen-ship ribbing which is hilarious.

Navigating feelings and careers because it’s tricky but they never made it about that, their relationship was based on themselves. And I just really enjoyed that.

Their chemistry and attraction is what makes this book so fantastic.
Something about the way Lauren does MM makes me want to listen curl up and just enjoy. And I hope you get the same sense when you listen because this is probably my favourite of all of Lauren’s MM and that saying something because there have been a few that I have relisted to and loved. But this one stole my heart.

Teddy and J. F. were utterly fantastic no joke they played well off of each other they made it feel effortless.
Fabulous narrator choice. More please.

Another wonderful MM love story from Lauren Blakely.

For as quiet and reserved a personality that Beck had, he was surprisingly vulnerable and open about himself with Jason. It was a fantastic balance between the two. It actually helped bring that side out in Jason, which was surprising considering how out and “Mr Personality” he was in the story. Beck’s challenges with anxiety were introduced and addressed so well in this book. I thought the author took care in the way she told it in the story, and Jason was so understanding and supportive. He was serious book hero goals!

I loved this story. It always makes me happy when the couple that “can’t” be together finally make it. Another wonderful MM love story from Lauren Blakely.

The audio was fantastic. Teddy Hamilton is a favorite of mine, and he was so good in this. JF Harding was new for me in a full length novel, and I really enjoyed him. The vulnerability he brought to Beck was so good. So glad I opted for audio for this one!

I need more Beck & Jason

I absolutely adore this story! So well written and the narration was spot on. I need more beyond the bonus content found on Lauren Blakelys' website. I need something beyond this that is just Beck and Jason! I know more stories are to come for other characters that were introduce, but I just can't get enough of Beck and Jason's story.

Give me more please of them Lauren!
