Illegal Contact is a quick and satisfying mainstream mm romance read. There is very emotional chapter that had my heart breaking for both of them. Once invested in them I had to know how this would work out. Illegal Contact is written in first person POV from both characters. Near the beginning of the story I thought about putting the book down because of the cliché elements, but I really liked Noah and sympathized with Gavin's situation. They story's heart is in how they verbally spar and slowly learn more about each other, eventually fall in love.the author doesn't ignore the reality of Gavin's NFL career and the affect is has on this new relationship. They are both physically attracted to each other, but refuse to act on it because they have stereotyped each other. This is also and enemies to lover’s story and a boss/employee story. The nerd, Noah, is unemployed, drowning in college loans debt, living with his father who just got laid off, soft-hearted but no push-over, and openly gay.Ĭircumstances bring the two together. The jock, Gavin, is an NFL football player, kind of a jerk and bi. The whole jock in closet/out nerd gay romance thing has been done to death and the plots are cliché.
Penguin has published many other lgbt books too.īack to Illegal Contact. Lgbt representation has a long way to go, but this is another step in the right direction. I am happy that lgbt romances are getting the recognition they deserve and published by traditional publishers. It is a gay romance and published by InterMix (Penguin Publishing Imprint). I don't read many sport romances, but this one caught my eye for two reasons. But both men know the score, and neither is sure what will happen once Gavin's timeout is over. He’s not sure if he’d rather argue with Gavin or tackle him to the floor. But Noah isn’t prepared for the electrifying tension between him and the football player. Working as Gavin’s personal assistant/babysitter seems like easy money. Noah Monroe is a recent college grad looking for a job-any job-to pay off his mounting student debt. And while he’s been successful professionally, he’s never been lucky when it comes to love. Gavin already has a reputation as a jerk with a temper on and off the field-which doesn’t help him once he finds himself on the wrong side of the law. New York Barons tight end Gavin Brawley is suspended from the team and on house arrest after a video of him brawling goes viral. The rules of the game don’t apply off the field in this first Barons novel.
