This is a gay male romance with explicit sexual situations between men.
When he was 16 years old, Rich Miller saved a young man from drowning at his local pool. Little did he know that years later, as a senior in college and Olympic diving hopeful, Rich would meet up once again with Johnny Milloway, now a big football player - and when Rich says big, he really means "bear". The shy jock remembers his saviour, and the two men become friends.
Johnny isn't put off by the fact that Rich is gay. In fact, the more time he spends with Rich, the more curious he becomes. Johnny wants to know all kinds of things - what it's like to kiss a guy, for instance. Only it doesn't stop there...
Rich finds it difficult to believe that this relationship can go anywhere. Johnny is straight, and Rich isn't prepared to deal with the heartache he knows will come his way in the future. He has enough on his plate as it is - the worlds are just around the corner. His father would rather watch a football game than spend time watching his son dive. What he doesn't count on is Johnny, who can be very determined. And having Johnny in his life proves to be a catalyst for some pretty earth-shattering changes.

Mari’s Review:
***Audio Code provided to Bayou Book Junkie in Exchange for a fair and honest review.***
This book is one of the first MM novels I read and I’ve read it several times already, so of course I jumped at the chance of listening to the Audiobook and I wasn’t disappointed!
Rich saved Johnny’s life when he was 16 and Johnny was 12 years old. They hadn’t seen each other until they ran into each other, quite literally, when Johnny starts up at Rich’s college. They become best friends and when Johnny becomes curious, they start having sex. Johnny is straight, though, no matter how much he enjoys what he and Rich do in bed, and Rich slowly falls for his friend, which can only lead to heartbreak. Add the pressure of preparing for the Worlds and Rich’s estranged relationship with his father and it’s a recipe for disaster, or is it just what Rich needs to finally put everything in perspective?
Jared Bradford did a great job at bringing to life this fantastic story. He has a great voice and I loved that he showed us all the different emotions through it, laughter, love, sadness. I would’ve liked it more if anger had been as easily portrayed, but that is just me being picky.
Definitely a recommendable book/audiobook I'd love to read/listen to again!
