Break Point by Garry Michael. Book Review
Very briefly , "Break Point is a touching story about a closeted, tennis champion who gave up his best friend and lover in one...the only person who truly knew him. In favour of his other first love, tennis. The heartbroken best friend and lover could never comprehend why his heart was broken because he knows for a fact that coming out wouldn't end with familial disputes for either of them. So why? Especially when he's so clearly loved." The author's description left me wanting more but here's the deal. I like a good second chance trope in mmromance as much as I like cheese on my bread - that means not often. I will not name anyone but I can count on one hand the number of authors that know how to give this trope adequate justice. In my opinion most authors fumble with either too much angst, not enough logic or unequal amounts of both important variants to the trope. Most of the time it's lifted off
