BREAK DOWN (Dublin Rugby, #4) by Rebecca Norinne
Blurb:
He knows his place on the pitch, but life is a whole other game.
All his life, Liam Donnelly looked and wondered. Could he? Would he? And then, finally, he did. But when he sampled a taste of that forbidden fruit, his whole world came crashing down, his position with Dublin Rugby right along with it. When the chance to ply his trade in Edinburgh comes along, Liam jumps at the offer, knowing it could be his best opportunity to start fresh and get back to the man he once was. But one look at Chef Lachlan MacLeod-his knowing, whisky-colored eyes, the abrasive scruff dotting his jaw, and the colorful ink lining his forearms-and Liam's wondering all over again. Can he? Will he? His heart says no, but his body says yes.
He's conquered his own demons; can he help another man do the same?
Out and proud Chef Lachlan MacLeod has no problem with who he is, except he has a history of hooking up with bi-curious straight men. He's vowed never to go down that path again, but when Liam Donnelly shows up in his restaurant, his eyes filled with heat and secret longing, Lachlan can't help himself. He knows the closeted rugby player is a terrible idea, but the man calls to him in a way no one ever has before. What started as a safe way for Liam to explore his sexuality quickly morphs into something much deeper, and now Lachlan wants more. But can his heart reconcile what his head already knows-that loving the gorgeous, broken athlete might actually mean letting him go?

4 Stars!
Break Down is book 4 in the Dublin Rugby series by Rebecca Norinne, it can perfectly be read as a standalone and, from what I gathered, it's her first MM book and I really hope it won't be her last.
I really liked Lachlan, he had a whole lot more patience than I would've if I'd been in his shoes, but he was no pushover. I liked Liam, and under the circumstances, the fact that he didn't want to come out of the closet was understandable. However, there were a lot of times in which I just wanted to strangle him or punch him or just plain slap him so he would finally get over himself before he lost Lachlan for good. I just was so frustrated with him, but fortunately, he finally got his head out of his shapely behind and did what he should've done earlier. Other than that, the chemistry between Lachlan and Liam was off the charts and the sex scenes were very hot and passionate.
I would have liked there to be a bit more closure with the whole Conor issue, especially after the fast one he pulled there at the end, so I hope Ms. Norinne will write some more about it in the next books in the series.
This is my first book by Rebecca Norinne, but it certainly won't be the last. I enjoyed the book when I wasn't annoyed with Liam, and really liked her writing style. Break Down was definitely a great debut MM novel and I definitely recommend it!
