About this audiobook
Knowing he’s loved can make any man fly.
Fifteen years ago, Ben Warren was a wakeboarding champion: king of big air, ballsy tricks, and boned grabs. Until a career-ending injury left him broken in ways he still has no hope of fixing. Now he takes his thrills where he can get them, and tries not to let life hurt too much.
Then Davis Fox arrives in Ben’s sporting goods store with a plan to get in touch with his estranged brother by competing in the annual wakeboarding double-up contest. The catch? He’s never ridden before. It’s crazy, but Ben’s a sucker for the guy’s sob story—and for his dimples, too—so he agrees to coach Davis.
Davis is everything Ben isn’t: successful, confident, and in love with life. And he wants Ben to love life—and him—too. But before Ben can embrace a future with Davis, he needs to remember how to hope.
Editor's Note
Wakeboarding for love…
A man looking to connect with his estranged brother (estranged because of their homophobic parents) figures that competing in a wakeboarding contest is the way to do it. Problem is, he has never wakeboarded before, so he asks a former pro, who left the sport due to injury, to coach him. Vanessa North’s m/m romances always touch far more than just the couple in the book; she deals with internal struggles, external disapproval, and familial conflicts as adeptly as she describes what happens between the two men when they’re alone.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Cute story. I liked that they gave each other space and didn't skip talking about the important things.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was very cute. I enjoyed it and the length is just right.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story was great, five star material, up until drama entered the picture. The author kinda dropped the ball from there on.
Not sure if she got bored of writing the book or if she just didn't know how to write the things she wanted to happen.
