Announcing Love

Sporting Pride #5

by Charity Parkerson

Artem wants to play the field. That’s what someone his age should do. So why can’t he stay away from Tip?
Until recently, Artem has missed out on being young and free. All he knew was responsibility. Then his brother married a famous soccer player, making Artem’s life easier and bringing Tip into his life. Now, as much as Artem wants to enjoy his newfound freedom, Tip won’t get out of his head. It’s unfortunate, since seemingly everything stands in their way, especially Artem’s age.
Tip never saw Artem coming. He can’t shake their chance meeting. That’s something that’s never happened to him before. He can’t stop himself from turning up around every corner. Tip needs to know why he can’t stop thinking about him. As the announcer for a pro soccer team, Tip’s not exactly desperate. Maybe it’s fate? Tip needs to keep seeing Artem to figure it out… if he can stop himself from screwing things up.
Announcing Love is the fifth book in Charity Parkerson’s Sporting Pride series. These are sports related romances, following men who find love while navigating high-profile careers. These are best enjoyed when read in order.

‘I didn’t know happiness like you existed’ – Art and sports combine

Charity Parkerson has published many books – romance stories for every inclination, LGBT, bisexual, paranormal erotica – about every form of sensuality imaginable. Her audience is very large and her books are increasingly successful. She now continues her Sporting Pride series with book 5 - ANNOUNCING LOVE – and once again she establishes her penchant for finding the intricacies of the world of sports.

As the apt title suggests, this story revolves around those important figures in sports (off the field) – the sports announcers, in this case Tip by name. Young art student Artem discovers soccer when his brother marries a pro soccer player Bandit, and Artem becomes attracted to the corresponding Tip and a sensual (and entertaining) affair blossoms. Another Charity Parkerson winner!

Artem, who has recently gained freedom from a life of responsibility, wants to "play the field" and enjoy his youth. However, he can't stop thinking about Tip. Tip, a professional soccer announcer who has never been so captivated by someone, can't stay away from Artem. He's trying to understand his intense connection with Artem and wonders if it's fate.

I loved this story with the men who found themselves drawn to each other despite their initial intentions. This resulted in a conflict where both men are trying to figure out their feelings for each other while navigating external challenges, including their age difference. They were so sweet together while they worked through the emotions and feelings that they had together and if they had a future together. This was an MM story with mature content.
