This is a nice story but I have to agree that it's not quite what the prompt asked for. Instead of the story about two gay men trying to hide their attractions for each other, it is about GFY story.
The tension was not from the narrator (I guess it was implied). But the story end just when the relationship began to bloom.
I would be interested to read how will Brad and Cam manage to keep their relationship while being on different teams and live in different states.

Loved the sport side to this. There was the right mix of growth leading up to the relationship of me. These are two characters that I would love to read more about.

I seriously do not know how this story does not have a higher rating. This is seriously one of my favorite stories in the m/m genre (or any other genre for that matter.) it is just so darn good! AND FREE! Hello!
The whole man-to-man series is phenomenal and these stories are an incredible tale of love and friendship and physical and emotional connections! I sure hope there is going to be more in this man-to-man series. I would seriously LOVE to read more about Brad and Cam.

The start was slow for me. Something about Brads "voice" or maybe the style just keeps me from connecting with the story.
I hate brads annoying female girlfriend. I don't see what the point of having her here is at all.
I'm at 60% and there is no connection or tensions between the guys. They are just friends and there's no heat or passion between them.
The time line is also a little jumpy and has random little memories/flashbacks.

For a first time story? This one was A-ok! It had a buildup of imagined tension, that turned into a friendship that went even farther. The couple in the story were rival football players, and that was something that was kind of funny to see. I was half expecting someone to be outed, but that never happened. I would say that it's a story of boy has no clue of fan boy's existence, then meets fan boy and makes a complete ass of himself. Said ass decides to be an ass more often but then shows that h...more
I've read this one a couple times now and I'm sure I'll read it again in a few months just because it leaves me with a goofy grin. The MCs are fantastic, sweet, and realistic. Banter is great, and this has one of my most favorite first time scenes, very hot and very sweet. Great read.

It's a cute enough short story about two football players from rival teams who realize they are into each other. They go from zero to rubbing one out very quickly, and then, like many orgasms, end just as quickly. It's a free story and is probably worth your time to read. It can be downloaded from Goodreads directly.
Okay I have to disagree with everyone else, for a first attempt the author kicked ass. Sure she didn't stick exactly with what was asked for but built up tension takes some practice.
I for one enjoyed it and thank you for your time and effort.

This is the author's first attempt at writing? It was fantastic. The characters were clever and had great chemistry. It had everything I like in my short stories! I'll definitely follow Nico Jaye's writing!

Two stars because I literally can't remember many details from this book, and it's only been a couple weeks. That's not a sign of memorability (which is important to me). Something about football player and bonding over being Big Brothers or something, idk. I guess if you like football players who seem to be decent human beings this might be the book for you.
A cute, sweet short story. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact that Brad and Cam take the time to get to know, and like each other BEFORE all the one true love talk.
2.5*
Totally unbalanced story. Didn't understand the sports facts and I'm with Bubble's review, although for me the girlfriend wasn't that annoying.

It could have made for an interesting story if it wasn't based around hating someone's guts. The writing is a bit overdone and the character are rather bland.
Great short story.
Strong, Lovable characters, both alpha males.
My first time reading this author and I really enjoyed the style.

Author promised sequel :)
A very good debut. I would have liked to feel more of the tension between the two, but given the length of the story, I was OK with what I got. Very good use of time and space (length of piece). No empty spots. I also enjoyed the dialogue and the language. I will look forward to reading more from Nico Jaye.
Nice short read, would have liked it to be longer though and to have more character development.
I actually liked this one. It didn't exactly follow along with the prompt I requested but considering this is the author's first attempt at a story, it came out good.
It was entertaining and I liked the connection between Brad and Cam and I liked that they weren't obnoxious. I was hoping for more sexual tension between them but I did like the build up of their friendship. A bit too much telling instead of showing but there were a few moments that were so cute I couldn't help but smile.

Very nice Nico! I'm proud of you girl! This was a cute short about two football players falling for each other. Did it follow the prompt? Not exactly, but that didn't bother me at all. I enjoyed it for what it was, which was a nice, hot, sweet story. I thought the author did a great job developing the characters and setting the stage for their relationship. A wonderful freebie.

Nico Jaye has lived all over, but after having done stuff (yes, very mysterious stuff!) in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, she has returned home to her native San Francisco. She thinks reading is awesome and loves that she can hang out night after night with crinoline-wearing debutantes, brawny firemen in suspenders, and werewolf shifters with Scottish brogues.
