Brendan & Casper: Older & Better
Brendan has been an active jock his entire life, but he’s no longer an eighteen-year-old high school quarterback or even a twenty-two year old football player for Indiana University. He’s fifty-two and the years are beginning to show. Brendan does his best to meet aging with composure, but it’s not an easy task for someone who once had it all.
Conner is home from The American Ballet Theatre in New York City. While in Verona, he rekindles a casual friendship with Colin, but soon that friendship grows into something more. Matters are complicated when Conner learns he isn’t the only one interested in Colin. Soon, family duties and his ballet career pull Conner in opposite directions and away from someone he just might love.
Older & Better is a story of facing change and altering circumstances, of friendship, family, and love.

Love this couple
I love reading about Brenden and Casper. I still think about their escape from Kentucky and first meeting with Uncle Jack. I’m, perhaps, too forgiving of the author’s endless descriptions of what everyone eats because any story with these two puts a smile in my face. 3.0 for reunions.

Love these stories ❤️
Another Great addition to the stories of Verona and the people who live there. Like all the stories you get pulled in from the start to the end.-- Wishing the wonderful people were part of your real family. The author makes stories and characters you genuinely care about and never get tired of reading how they grow.
I look forward to my next book by this incredible author and thank him for opening my eyes and heart to another world.

This book excels, slightly breaking the formula Fodder usually writes. Perhaps because his characters have gotten older and that is more relatable or because these guys were among the first, whatever the case, the writing shines in this novel.

I had a lot of expectation about this book, but I have to say that nothing happens in the book.the characters are not lovable it’s just very dull
