Kindle Alexander
Book 1 – Good Guys Series
Synopsis
Up and coming football hero, Colton Michaels, makes a Hail
Mary pass one night in the college locker room that results in the hottest,
sexiest five days of his young life. However, interference after the play has
him hiding his past and burying his future in the bottom of a bottle. While
Colt seems to have it all, looks can be deceiving, especially when you’re
trapped so far in a closet that you can’t see your way out. When ten years of
living his expected fast-lane lifestyle lands him engaged to his manipulative
Russian supermodel girlfriend, he decides it’s time to call a new play.
Jace Montgomery single-handily built the largest all-star cheerleading gym in the world, driven by a need to forget a life-altering encounter with a handsome quarterback a decade ago. His reputation as an excellent coach, hard-nosed business man, and savvy entrepreneur earned him respect in the sometimes catty world of competitive cheerleading. When Jace learns of his ex-lover’s plans to marry, his heart executes a barrel roll and his carefully-placed resolve tumbles down without a mat to absorb the shock. Can his island escape help him to finally let go of the past and move his life forward?

Brenda's Review
First, before you read my review....I'd like to introduce you to MY vision of "the boys"...... this will help you visualize as you read my review....I hope you make it past these pics.....(wipe that drool from you lip....and stop licking your screen! that's just embarrassing)-- (look around to see if anyone just saw me do that same thing!!)
Crap.... Now I've probably totally lost you!!! Well for those of you still paying attention...Here it goes.
Well from the beginning I was sweaty!! It could be hot flashes, but I don't think so!! This prologue was the hottest prologue that I have ever read!!! and holy crap, I've read a lot of risqué books!!!
and it went from there....................I was immediately drawn to both of the guys! Normally, I pull or root for one or the other main characters. I had a tough time in this story. I was always pulling for BOTH Jace and Colt. I didn't have a favorite, I loved them both, was frustrated with both, and drooled over both!!!
I had a few down-right UGLY cries, or should I say SOBBING sessions!! I don't understand how Kindle does it! I was so engrossed and involved in this story that I was dreaming that I was there and was trying to help them. I could FEEL their pain and suffering all throughout the book. I've read 3 books now by Kindle..... and this was my favorite! I was a sobbing mess! and yes, my hubby, as you've heard me say before, gave me the shameful shaking of the head sigh as I was grabbing more tissues. I, once again, just gave him my evil eye and said "AND DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT THAT IT'S JUST A BOOK!!" He didn't, but I could hear him think it!!
I know some people fear a book once they know that it's M/M. I really didn't even focus on that. It's more about finding love and having to endure many challenges in order to find your true love. The two people just happened to be men. I've said it before and I'll say it again.... You can't help who you fall in love with! Plain and simple! If you've never read a M/M book, give it a try! Read one of Kindle's books! Just start with a couple of chapters! You'll get hooked!! Then come tell me how much you loved it!! I know I've talked a few readers into trying M/M books and they are now hooked.
Well naturally I give this story 5 stars!! Hotness - holy crap 10 stars! (hey, it's my review, I can do what I want!). Tear jerker -- 5 stars! I had happy and sad tears!
The next book is going to be about Mitch. You'll meet him towards the end of the book! AND I'VE ALREADY TOLD KINDLE THAT SHE NEEDS TO WRITE FASTER! You will definitely want to read his story soon!!! I've read a teaser, and
O. M. G. H. O. T.
Melinda's Review:
This was one great love story. I haven’t read many m/m love stories but this
one was wonderful. The love that Jace
and Colt had for each other is one everyone should be able to experience.
The prologue WOW now that was one of the steamiest prologues
I think I have ever read. What a way to
start a book, you can’t say you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into
after reading that. Anyway, back to the
review. The Quarterback, Colt, has a
thing for the Cheerleader, Jace, and wouldn’t you know it Jace has a secret
thing for Colt too. Well after the
Prologue we all know that. Colt
convinces Jace to go to Hawaii with him on spring break and they have a great
get away were Colt decides he is going to commit to Jace. However, when they return to the states Colt’s
father throws a monkey wrench in those plans.
Colt breaks Jace’s heart and refuses any type of contact with him.
Then we jump 9 years ahead to Colt being with a, well I’ll
put it nicely for the review, witch of a fiancée who by the way blackmailed
Colt into proposing to her. Then jump
ahead 8 months to Jace who has made a name for himself in the Cheerleading
competition world. Colt sees Jace on
ESPN during an interview where he states he bought the house they stayed at 10
years ago in Hawaii…..well, I don’t want to give any more away because I really
want you to read this book, but I will say now is where you will want to take a
break in the book and go grab a box or two of tissues because you will need
them. I had a few happy tears and a few
sad tears from here.
Did I mention you get to meet Dr. Knox, Oh how I love that
man, and his son Mitch. Everything these
two do for Jace and Colt is beyond what I would have expected out of a Team
Dr. Dr. Knox seems more like a father to
them than Colt’s own Dad. Mitch what a
guy, I liked the banter between him and Colt toward the end. I want to know more about Mitch.
One of my favorite scenes that made me laugh was Colt and Jace date on
the boat with Tonya and Mandy at the table. I just loved how embarrassed Jace got over
the whole ordeal. Here are some of my favorite quotes
“I’m willing to spend the rest of my life showing you how
much you mean to me. I’ll work every single day to be the man you deserve”
~Colt
“I’ve never gotten over you. Ever. Not one day passed that I
didn’t think about you. For me, you’re the love of my life. Wherever you are is
exactly where I want to be” ~Colt
“I’ve loved you
since I first laid eyes on you.” ~Colt
“It was slower for
me, but it’s forever for me.” ~Jace
Like I said I truly enjoyed this love story. I had tears of happiness, tears of sadness, I
laughed, but most of all you could truly see the love these two had for each
other and to be able to hang on to that love for the 9 plus years they were
apart. AMAZING! I have to say I am a Kindle Alexander fan
after reading this. I’m ready for the
next book..BRING IT!
Angie J's Review:
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
WOW!! So I must say that I love books about love. To me a book about love can come in many forms. I love love and I love people falling in love. Love can be traditional between and man and woman, 2 men, 2 women, or any mix in between. So with that being said this is an amazing book about 2 men who have been in love for EVER!!!!
Colt the QB for the college fell in love with the cheerleader Jace but never acted on it. Colt couldn't risk letting his feelings out because he is a famous athlete and he will prolly go to the NFL in the first round. Well he takes a chance and Jace and him take a week trip to Hawaii together. After a week, the two are in love and are ready to face the world together UNTIL Colt's dad interferes.
Fast forward 10 years later, Colt is drunk, miserable and engaged to a beeotch of a woman!! He still had been keeping up with Jace and everything that is going on with him. Colt makes a few changes in his life and chases after a very miserable, unhappy Jace. The two reconnect and have to face a few trial and tribulations together.
I will tell you to have tissues ready. I had a lot of tears in this book. The two breaking up at the beginning of the novel and then the trials they go through at the middle and end of the book. i will say that I will defo read another of this authors works and I cannot wait to read Mitch's book...yummmmmmy!!!
I also will say that I love the humor and caring that Jace and Colt show each other through the novel. Again , I am a sucker for a romance and this book didnt let me down in the romancing department. My favorite lines where when Colt thought Mitch was hitting on Jace. He kept threatening to kick Mitch's butt. I also looooove Dr. Knox!!! I love the fact he is so supportive of Colt and like the father he never really had.
So people if you love romance and love then you need to read this!!
Favorite Quotes:
“No,
I just need a minute, that’s all. I’ve thought about this night for a long
time. I want this, and I want it with you.” Colt kissed Jace’s lips, a smile
spread across his face. “I plan on doing this often. Just be gentle with me, or
not. Whatever.” And with that, Colt gave a devilish smirk, winked, and turned
on his heel, not bothering to look back as he stepped inside the bathroom.
“I’m not
gonna say it now, but I hope you see where I’m going with this. I want the
promise of someday from you. That’s all I’m asking, Jace.”
“I
love you,” Colt declared against Jace’s lips. He truly meant those three little
words. There had never been any doubt in his mind Jace was the only man for
him.
“I love you, too.” Jace made Colt smile. He’d
waited so long to hear those words from this man. Too long.
About the Author (you'll need a tissue for this section too!!)

the suburbs of Dallas.
Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life –
I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations –
regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal… I don’t want to
offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I’m going to tell you about
Kindle.
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk
driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the
accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and
something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident
on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died –
weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you think
it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother
and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both
inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so
suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name
and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader.
She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on
something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. it never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky
enough to meet my writing partner. I would have never gotten through those dark
days without her unwavering support and guidance. There wasn’t a time she
wasn’t there for me. For the first time I used the hand offered. I know without
question I wouldn’t be here today without her. It takes a special person to
come stand beside someone at a time like that. I will love her forever. I could
go on and on about both of them, but I won’t and now you know a little more
About Me.
