You Started It

Mike

I have all I've ever dreamed of except for one thing. I have my dream job playing football in the NFL, a big dog who loves me almost as much as I love him, great friends, and a loving family. Now if I could only find the prefect partner for me. Someone who wants to cuddle with a six foot nine chubby guy, loves dogs and food as much as I do. If the last four years since I graduated college have taught me anything, it's that I'm asking too much.

Right now, though, all I'm focused on is finishing the regular season with enough wins to get to the Playoffs and getting the perfect birthday cake for my friend's daughter's birthday. I need the pastry chef of my favorite bakery to do a special order for me and I'm pulling out all the stops to convince them.

There are a lot of things Mike McKinnley doesn't know. Like my full name, the fact that we live in the same city, or that I'm the pastry chef he's texting, asking for a special order when I almost never do those. He doesn't know that he made me believe there was still good in the world after spending years losing hope little by little. He absolutely doesn't know that in my mind he's the standard to which I compare all men. He doesn't know I'm terrified of him shattering that standard if we ever speak again, because it's only thanks to that fantasy that I still believe there are good men out there.

How can I keep avoiding him when he's constantly texting me and being all cute and shit?

Turns out I can't.
Turns out I never stood a chance because Mike McKinnley is irresistible, Mike McKinnley is the perfect man, Mike McKinnley is definitely too good for me.

What will happen when he eventually finds out who I am?

You Started It is a contemporary Male/Male romance. A full length novel that tells the love story of a baker and a professional athlete. It involves sports, a bakery, all the big dogs, a mental health rep, size difference, and hurt/comfort feels. It's the third book in the Fan Service Series, and while it is a standalone, it would be best enjoyed by reading the series in order. This book is intended for adult readers, has no cliffhangers, and ends in a HEA. There are a lot of very gay things happening inside, so if that's not for you, then this book isn't either. If it is, then welcome to the mostly low-angsty world of the Fan Service Series, I'm thrilled to have you and hope you enjoy this journey.
