I received a galley of this book from Riptide Publishing via NetGalley. This does not impact my thoughts or feelings about this book.
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love watching competitive swimming, especially around the Olympics. When I saw Santino Hassell's tweet about this book, I was pumped. A M/M romance about two competitive swimmers heading to the Olympics, reconnecting with a second chance story? I am so here for that.
Unfortunately, I thought the book felt a bit flat. There was a lot of build-up and tension at the beginning, but in some ways it felt forced. I wanted more from the characters besides their complicated family histories and inability to move beyond the past. Once they finally got there, some implausible plot points were able to salvage the story, but I was a bit disappointed at how fast and convenient it felt. I think the next book will be about Bas, which I'm looking forward to reading.
