Now that Changing Lines has introduced us to the world, we come to the second novel in the series First Season.
Picking up on threads from Changing, First Season introduces to the social media guru Layton Foxx as the Harrisburg Railers deal with the process of Tennant Rowe coming out as both gay and in a relationship with a coach of all people! (Thankfully a defensive coach, opposed to Tennant who’s a forward). While Layton has to deal with it, he also has to deal with the “affections” of one Adler Lockhart; who on face value is a reach spoiled brat who doesn’t know the meaning of the word no!
Despite it being only book two of the series, First Season does what you expect it to by delving deep into the characters psyche while also continuing on with arcs from previous novels- for while we see Layton dealing with all kinds of PR hell (both in regards to Tennant as well as other members of the team), we also see him both thaw out and deal with the advances of Adler- you know Layton has some trauma in his past bet you never know what until it slowly gets revealed piece by piece.
As the “fallout” from the coming out plays out, we see both Layton and Adler growing as individuals, with Layton revealing his trauma, while Adler grows and is shown that money can’t be everything. As to be expected, both characters are more than that as they’re richly fleshed out while also showing how when things go right, humanity can surprise you.
Another good book in the series
