THIS QUOTE IS PERFECT, JUST PERFECT! NOW FOR THE REVIEW:
OMG, I literally “Squeed” fangirling when Bec let me review My Hero: The Olympian!
When I reviewed the audiobook version of My Hero and Max told me he was working on it’s sequel, I got really thrilled.
I fell in love with Johnny and Rich at first sight. How they faced their own fears and insecurities to be themselves and to be together, so I was sad when the book ended but so happy when I got to see more of them.
In My Hero: The Olympian, we get more of Johnny sassiness (Oh my, I so love his sense of humor), and more of sweet Rich, while they go through the harshness of reality intruding into their dream world.
Being “Out and Proud”, especially for a football player, is not as easy as Johnny thought… he has to face hate, prejudice and anger from people he should be able to trust.
What I love most in their story is the lengths each of them are willing to take for the other, for their love and happiness. They have grown so much from the first time they met…
Rich is focused on his Olympian dream, but now, having Johnny’s love as his anchor, he can put all his priorities into perspective… something that he never realized was missing in his life… And I loved seeing more of Dan, Johnny’s parents and Virgil, they are truly special and supportive, and such a great addiction to the story.
Thank you Max for giving life to these sweet guys that have stolen a piece of my heart. Their story made me laugh, giggle, sigh and have a really great time.
Don’t miss this great book!

“Oh come on, John, I wear them.” Rich held up the skimpy black racing briefs. “For me?”
Johnny looked away.
“No. I said no and I mean no.”
