Love & Rugby, Vol. 2 / Love & Rugby (ePub)

Love & Rugby, Vol. 2 contains the last three books in the Love & Rugby MM romance series: Shine, Surprise, and Swoon.

Shine: After their matchmaking friends scheme to get them together, Hercules and Apollo take a tentative step that quickly falls into a heady rush of firsts. Kisses, dates, sharing pieces of themselves, they form a bond that opens up their worlds. But as Hercules wars with doubts about himself and Apollo navigates the unfamiliar territory of a romantic relationship, their summer romance is tested by Hercules's belief that people don't stick around and Apollo's worry about what will happen when he trusts someone with his heart.

Surprise: After months of secret hookups, rugby teammates Greer and Owen realize they're catching feelings for each other, and a New Year's Eve spent with their mutual crush Storm shows the trio they click together like nothing else they've ever experienced. They want more of what they can bring to each other, but their deepening bond also brings vulnerabilities to light. Neither Greer nor Storm have been in a relationship with more than one person before, and Owen fears the reason his last triad ended could repeat itself. Sharing secrets, needs, and feelings isn't easy for three men who have good reasons for keeping defenses in place, but if they don't learn to trust in each other, they risk losing everything.

Swoon: When proud firefighter Gage gets stuck in a tree while rescuing a kitten, his secret fear of heights is thrust into full view of his rugby teammates and the guy he's crushed on all season. Taking part in the rescue, tree doctor Valentine glimpses the vulnerability behind the tough mask Gage wears and is determined, quirks and all, to pursue the intriguing man. Caring for the kitten, the men form a connection that feels like the solid foundation for a relationship, but will Gage's worries of how his phobia could color his teammates, and in turn, Valentine's opinion of him and Valentine's doubts over whether he can trust Gage to keep his word when others haven't, keep them from the promise of new beginnings they've found in each other?

The Love & Rugby series features friends who are connected through a rec league rugby team in Philadelphia. The MM romance stories are low to medium angst and all have HEAs.
