Student Bodies #7
Third And Long
College senior and star running back Levi Chadwick is in the closet and plans to stay there. He fears being ostracized by his teammates and losing his dream of becoming a sportswriter if his sexuality becomes public knowledge. When a failing grade in algebra threatens his eligibility to play football, he accepts help from a sexy algebra tutor with sparkling hazel eyes.
Kirk O’Reilly has a great career as a calculus and advanced mathematics professor. He's content living in his own home and playing hockey for the UMass alumni hockey team. The only thing he’s missing is the man of his dreams. Instantly attracted to Levi, Kirk is more than willing to lend a hand to get Levi’s grades up and keep him on the football field.
Tired of watching from the sidelines while his friends fall in love and plan their happy futures, Kirk decides to start a relationship with Levi even though the boy is unwilling to come out to anyone but him. Kirk falls hard for the young football player, certain Levi will come around to his way of thinking and reveal his true colors.
When Levi is faced with being outed, will he follow his heart and love Kirk openly or will he turn his back on the only man who’s ever loved him for who he really is?

Tissues at the ready.
Pandora Pine has a way of sucking a reader into her little world of UMass and D/s. You come to love to closeness of the characters and how open they all are with one another. Can not wait for the next book.

Dari buku 1 sampai buku 5 (buku 6 diskip, belum dibaca), ini yang paling panjang halamannya dan isinya lebih banyak drama. Yang paling miris nasibnya adalah si Kirk ini. Udah teman-temannya yang lain bahagia punya pasangan, cuma dia sendiri yang belum menemukan pasangan dan lebih parahnya lagi pada saat dia menjalin hubungan dengan Levi, Levi tidak mau mempublikasikan hubunganna di depan umum karena takut akan karier football-nya dia.
Kirk pada awalnya mau-mau aja menjalin hubungan rahasia tp lama-kelamaan dia mulai mikir dan akhirnya memberikan ultimatum ke Levi antara mau tetap menjalin hubungan dan jujur ke teman-teman team football-nya kalau dia gay atau putus hubungan dengan Kirk.
Memang susah jadi Levi karena dia masih muda dan sedang membangun karier sedangkan Kirk orangnya sudah mapan dan stabil. Levi takut kalau dia come out as gay man, dia tidak akan sukses dalam karier dan bakal dijauhi oleh teman-temannya.
Tapi apakah kariernya itu lebih berharga dibanding kebahagiaanya dia bersama Kirk??

Surprisingly, the one I thought would be my least favorite is actually the best one yet. Between the guys getting together, the bachelors, and the wedding it was an emotional and joyful read. Nate gets more adorable every book.

The best volume of this series so far. The least BDSM or kinky book of the series. I loved the struggle between Kirk and Levi, they both break my heart. I love also the growing families of the other guys.
Can't wait to read the last book, book 8 of this series. :3 Silas seems a really funny guy. ^^
