Wes is fighting back after an injury sidelined his diving career the year leading up to the Olympics. To help gain attention and perhaps some endorsements, his coach calls in a favor at the local newspaper to run a personal piece on Berkley's own olympic diver hopeful.
Wes is starting his journalistic career and can't quite figure out what makes this piece on a local olympic hopeful special. That is until they meet. The sparks in this book were hot. I loved that there was no miscommunication or third act break up. The plot revolved around the love story of the two men and how they became a couple with the Olympics as a backdrop. As a former diver this book made me smile. I was smirking especially when Wes asked Finn what score he would rate the dive and was told a 10.
If you are looking for a sweet romance that will make you smile and your toes curl pick this one up. I really enjoyed my audiobook and suggest reading it that way if you have a chance. Thank you to Tantor Audio for the ARC. This is my honest opinion of the book.
