if Tristan wasn't the other mc, idk if i would have been as invested tbh but it worked bc it's them, bc of their banters and dynamic. Zach, on the other hand, was an okay character to me. i loved how he had this certain 'face' he showed the world, but he was more vulnerable and lonely than he lets on. between the two mcs, Tristan was personally my favorite. Tristan's unfiltered, asshole persona yet somehow having this vulnerability on the inside mixed with the way Zach was able to see past Tristan's facade just worked so well for me. Tristan stared at him wide-eyed before shaking his head a little. Then, a small smile tugged at Tristan's lips before transforming into a bright, beautiful smile, his aquamarine eyes shining with warmth, and Zach's breath caught in his throat. Tristan's smirk disappeared and he simply looked at Zach for a long moment. Maybe Tristan was an ass in book 3, I don't know, but that's always the problem with reoccurring characters.Once they piss you off, it's hard to start liking them again. He seemed like a self-centered little bitch in this one. It can be read as a stand-alone and after seeing Gabe in this one, I'm not sure I want to read his book. There is some Jared and Gabe from book 1, but it isn't necessary, to read it to understand the story. I would have liked Zach being the bottom for once, but just like in the first book, we get a bottom and a top. I really liked this book, it wasn't too long or too angsty.but I did feel sorry for Tristan on more than one occasion. When things heat up and feelings chance.they both have to make choices, especially Zach, who's about to be married. He can be quite an asshole.but there is a reason for his facade. He always gets what he wants and he knows he's pretty.

Hate very quickly turns into Tristan and Zach get it on !! He's about to get married and become monogamous. Zach is straight and has been in an open relationship for 10 years. When these two meet.they don't get along.at all. Zach is a well known physical therapist, and he's been hired by Jared, who is a close friend of his, to help Tristan with his recovery. His brother is in a relationship with the team's doctor (Jared) and he isn't out for the same reasons. Being gay in the soccer world wouldn't do him any good. He has a groin injury and needs physical therapy, so he can start playing ball again. The story felt more complete and it had an epilogue.thank god. I'm very happy that I decided to read this one because I loved it !! I liked book 1, but this one was so much better. I just couldn't help myself because the blurb sounded really interesting and I'm known for reading books out of order )

I recently finished book 1 in this series (which I liked) and for some reason jumped straight into this one.book 4.
