About this listen

It's not stealing if he's meant to be mine.


Let me tell you how Holden Sykes operates.

As the campus playboy and one-and-done king, he doesn’t do strings.

Or repeats.

Or names, for that matter.

So when he tries making my best friend the next notch on his bedpost, I react poorly.

Some would call it jealousy or an unrequited crush,

but friends protect each other from making mistakes.

The same ones I’ve already made.

Which is why driving Holden away seems like my only option.

Too bad he’s not giving up without a fight.

Each prank leads to another

until he turns this into a game far more precarious than intended.

One filled with stolen moments and heated glances,

drawing me into his orbit.

But the undeniable attraction simmering between us

leaves me caught in the crosshairs of an impossible decision.

Loyalty...or love.

*Caught Stealing is the second in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring a road-tripping rubber ducky, two guys fighting for the upper hand, and enough cock-blocking shenanigans to make your cheeks flush. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age*

This book has quickly become one of my top five favourites. The main characters are beautifully developed, and the book offers a great mix of humour, angst, romance and SPICE. Christian Fox and Jacob Morgan bring the story to life brilliantly. It's the kind of book that I will revisit again and again.

I liked this one more than book 1.... I know it's a different story but it felt better developed. I was engaged early on and wanted to keep listening. Phoenix annoyed me a little as the story progresses but he managed to redeem himself and I loved the resolution ❤️

great narrators - loved the emotion they brought.

it absorbed me

Honestly if I were to read this story in paper back form I'm not sure I would like it as much. But the Audio performance by Christian Fox & Jacob Morgan was what carried this audio book and made the storyline less meh

Gee CE Ricci is a brilliant writer. The first volume of this series was great but volume 2 is beyond amazing. Such brilliant character depth with Holden, Phoenix and Kason. A wonderful almost love triangle with humour, love, tension and joy. I could not recommend this book higher.

Brilliant performances from both narrators. They are like silky velvet. 5 ⭐️ plus

Superb! Brilliant!

So very well written. Excellent narrators. Both main characters are very easy to like. The emotional ride is great. I'm glad there was no great angst, just lots of love and emotion.

Excellent story

Let’s dive into the review—I have a lot to say.

Starting with the positives: the tension and anger Phoenix had toward Holden were delicious. Holden’s playboy side was fun and flirty, and since he was quite popular, it only irritated Phoenix more. The MM spice was brilliant, and overall, this was a good read.

Now, let’s discuss where this fell flat for me. If you’re looking for plot, you won’t find it here. It’s very character-driven and revolves around a messy love triangle. I love love triangles, but not like this.

We have two best friends, Phoenix and Kason, who have been close since childhood. One is crushing hard on Holden, while the other had a one-night stand with him—and now feels awful because Holden blacked out and doesn’t even remember it. Naturally, Phoenix hates him for it. But Holden isn’t any better—he keeps poking the bear with Phoenix while stringing Kason along. I honestly felt bad for Kason. The whole situation just didn’t sit right with me.

I devoured the first book and had high hopes for this one, but in the end, it was just good.

👎🏼 Not sure why I kept reading after the first SA, but after the second… DNF

SA isn’t a “prank”
