What happens when opposite sides of the track collide?East Londoner Jay Ruttman has only ever wanted one thing― to be a professional footballer. But after a disastrous brawl on the pitch gets him released from his pro-Academy, he has to follow plan B and enrolls as university Sports Scholar. Head down, train hard and get scouted is his motto. Until he crashes into the man who might just shoot his dreams out of the park. Kensington elite Sebastian (Seb) Saunders has only ever wanted one thing―to be a rock star. But his father has other plans for him, including taking the helm of his multimillion-pound new business venture across the pond. Live it up, chase the dream and rock out for as long as he can is his mantra. Until he crashes into the man who might just rock his world off its scale. Jay and Seb live at opposite ends of London's District Line, separated by wealth, status, family traditions and their own life-long dreams. This startling and gritty contemporary romance series sees them both having to overcome barriers, face fears and beat rejection to fight for the love they need to achieve it all. NOTE: This is a revised edition of the previously self-published The District Line by C F White in 2016. This version has gone through major edits, including character name changes and new chapters, yet the overall story remains the same.… (mais)

This was a new author to me and I wasn't sure how the read would be.

Seb and Jay are opposites attract, both with secrets. They work but timing is wrong so this book is not a HEA but I'm hoping continuing books in the series will give Seb and Jay there HEA .

Im now off to read book 2 as I enjoyed this book. ( )

This is a bit hard for me to rate. I wasn't really in love with the first half or so of the book. It really took a while for me to get a feel for the characters and figure out why I should like them. Jay was too afraid of being himself, and Seb was just an obnoxious ass.

The next quarter of the book got better. Once Jay and Seb finally really got together, you could see Jay struggle more about his sexuality, but it was in a positive more affirming way. He was starting to want to come out, but very afraid (as opposed to avoiding the thought at all costs). We also finally started to learn about Seb's father and his MEGA JERK ex (he doesn't warrant the energy to write his name. I hate him. Very much).

By the last quarter of the book, I was devastated. I knew there would be a continuation into the next book, but I was still wrecked at the ending. To feel that kind of emotion, I really must have connected with the characters finally. Now I really want to know what happens next. These two better get an HEA.

So that's why it was tough to rate. It ranged between a 2 and 4.5 star book at different parts. I think overall it would average out to a 3.5 star read, but I will round up to a 4. There was some cockney slang that was a bit confusing at first, but I got the hang of it mostly. The story itself was well written. Be prepared that the book does not have a typical HEA ending, and there is at least 1 more book coming out to continue the story.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy of the book that I received from the author ( )
