Publisher's Summary

A year ago, Kelly Cannon couldn't imagine he'd end up with his formerly straight best friend. It's hard to believe he can finally kiss Blue anytime he wants...as long as they're in private. And there's the rub. Despite Kelly's promise to wait until Blue is ready to come out, he's tired of sneaking around. The cracks in their relationship are starting to show, and there might not be enough Spackle in the world to fix them.  

Britton "Blue" Montgomery may not be the physics brainiac his boyfriend is, but he's not stupid. He knows Kelly isn't completely happy, but he's not ready to be the poster boy for bisexuals and gays in the NFL. He just wants to keep his head down, play the game he loves, and go home to the man he adores. Is that too much to ask?  

With the truth slowly coming to the surface, Blue must make a choice. If it means losing Kelly, there's no decision to make. He has to find enough courage to face the music and hope they'll survive the fallout.  

Man. Happily ever afters may not be just for Disney princesses, but they sure are a lot of work.

blue and Kelly, a future together?

A deeper blue by s.e. Harmon. The second book in this series, blue and Kelly, and together and trying to work out there lives together while keeping blues biness to themselves and not have it exploited by the media and the nfl. Blue and Kelly both see a future for them, but at what costs do they need to pay in order to get that future.

Romantic and fun sequel

Part two of Blue and Kelly’s relationship is just as lovely as the first. The characters are endearing and well developed. I would love a part three but that would seem unlikely. Harmon writes beautifully while Cendese and Crisden bring the characters to life with such passion. Highly recommended. Bravo again.

Fun and fantastic sequel!

Physics professor, Kelly Cannon, and NFL footballer, “Blue” Montgomery, have settled into a loving but bumpy relationship, grappling with family, their jobs, and the uncomfortable fact that Blue is still in the closet. SE Harmon not only writes sympathetic characters, she also writes hilarious and snappy dialogue - it’s fun just for the quips. I’d love a third book about Blue’s exit from the NFL and his adjustment to life as a normal person. 🎧 Alexander Cendese and Sean Crisden totally deliver on the characters, the voices, and the jokes.

Blue and Kelly...

This book takes up about a year after the previous book left off Kelly and Blue are together , I cannot get enough , the first book was wonderful and this , book two has left me speechless.
Written wonderfully , loved the story line that was continued perfectly..
They overcame their struggles which made them so much closer and I mean closer !

The ending was so... them. Funny and heartfelt and everything that is close to my heart..
A brilliant audio book...perfect narration.

Love the story but narrators make it even better!!!

I’ve both read and listened to these 2 books multiple times, and it’s not often that the narrators make a story even better. Love the characters and the snarky, sarcastic, drama queen with the big tough nfl player who is still coming to terms with his sexuality. The narrators really bring the story to life and it still has me laughing after so many listens. My go to books when I’m in a mood or stuck on what’s next.

Unsatisfying ending

So much wasted potential.

I loved these characters and really enjoyed book one. I saw so much potential in book 2 and most of the book was great. Then... nothing.

The ending was... wave a magic wand and tada! All problems solved! All the angst, all the built up tension let out like a popped balloon. I've rarely been so disappointed with an ending. Blue's jump from football is his life and he could never come out, to suddenly changing his entire life in one day, then story is over.... I mean, what??! I mean, fair enough, it made sense for everything to happen quickly once the decision was made, but.... where did the decision come from??! How did Blue jump from "no way!" to "right now".

On that note... the mum presented a fantastic opportunity for Blue to realise what his behaviour and choices were doing to Kelly. For some consequences and character development to occur. But no. The thing with the mum was built up like a big thing and then they did the stupid "we're blood related and that makes us family" stuff that always annoys me, and that was it. What wad the point? Couldn't it have been tied it into the actual storyline at least. Parallels drawn. Blue realise he was becoming like his father. etc. Instead the sideplot was one more thing that just... Did nothing. Like the rest of the tension.

Seriously, after everything Kelly went through, he deserved more acknowledgment of not only how patient he'd been, but what Blue himself, his behaviour had put Kelly through. And the tension should have been properly resolved, the angst lead to something, rather than a magic fix.


So unsatisfied.
