Summary

One moment of madness ended it all. A flare of temper, a thrown punch, and Jay Ruttman’s dream of being a footballer evaporated.

Thrown out of the Pro Academy, Jay falls back to Plan B. University. At least he got accepted on the sports scholarship. It might keep his dreams alive. Now he has a new plan: head down. Train hard. Get scouted. That plan does not include falling for a rock musician - last thing he needs is a posh muso stirring up those well-hidden preferences that could end Jay’s career before it can even begin.

Sebastian Saunders is out and proud. This rich kid rock musician wants to live it up, chase the dream, and rock out for as long as he can, dodging his millionaire father’s plans for him to take the helm of the family business. He has a strict rule that he doesn’t date closet cases because he’s been there, done that. So that should mean not falling for shy, sexy footballers, no matter how pretty their baby blue eyes are.

For the sake of his heart. And both of their dreams.

Kick Off is the first book in the District Line series. A new-adult opposites-attract first-time sports/rocker contemporary MM romance serial featuring an East End cockney footballer, a West End elite public-school boy gone rogue, and the London tube line that connects them both.

Loved this story about rocker Seb and footballer Jay. They come from very different backrounds and would probably never even have talked to each other if it hadn't been for their mutual attraciton. You can feel all the mixed emotions between them, they're drawn to each other even though they for various reasons feel that they shouldn't be together.

I, unfortunately, hadn't read the blurb properly, so I was thrown by the cliffhanger, but that's my own fault.

Pierce Ryman's narration elevated this story to another level! His voices for Seb and Jay, and everyone aound them, was abosolutely wonderful!

I'm looking forward to the next installment in this series.

I enjoy a good sports romance, especially incl. soccer. And I like romances with a rockstar. Here we get both in a way, but it goes much deeper than that and is not a typical sports or rock star romance. Which, even though I love them is not a bad thing. The characters are more than what they like to do, even though it is one part of them. I also really enjoyed their relationships with friends and family. It should be noted, though, that the audiobook ends with an awesome moment, but also on a big cliffhanger
The next audiobook comes out very soon and the cliffhanger is exciting for me, but I know not everyone likes those. It was a great great 'read' with a nice narration :)

A great audiobook w/ likable main characters
