Opening Day: A Contemporary MM Age Gap Romance (Southern Jersey Shores Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Alexis Woods (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.6 out of 5 stars 51 ratings
When pharmacy manager, Aaron Lark, known to his best friends as Ace, is dumped by his latest boyfriend, he decides to step back from the dating scene. What he doesn't expect is for the blue-eyed pharmacist, Darren Goldman, to step into, and rock, his world. Bonding over beer, brownies, and baseball, Ace and Darren play a game where hopefully both end up crossing home plate as winners.

The Southern Jersey Shores series is a set of short stories with HFN endings with the potential for more. There's attraction and acting on that attraction. Each story takes place over only a few days time. There is an overall arc so reading the stories in order is preferred. Additonally, each book is theme-based:
Book 1 - Opening Day - Baseball
Book 2 - Evading Exodus - Passover
Book 3 - Ultimate Summer - Ultimate Frisbee
Book 4 - Spin Play - Games
Book 5 - Cue the Music - Music
Book 6 - Say You Will - Surprises

    3.0 out of 5 stars Could Have Been Better
    Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023

    I was anxious to read this story as I am a native of the South Jersey Shore and wanted to see how the region was incorporated into the story. Alas, there was nothing recognizable in the story. I couldn't even guess where it takes place. Apart from the name of the series, it could have taken place anywhere. South Jersey is Phillies country, not Red Sox. Also, other than the title and the chapter headers, this is not a sports romance. My other issue was that the dialogue ranged on a scale from boring to cheesy and back again. Overall, I was very disappointed by the story.

    This is cute start to this series. Aaron and Darren hit it off almost immediately and things just get better and better. I can't wait to get the next stories to see how things go for them.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, easy read
    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2021
    Opening Day was a quick, easy read in the MM romance genre about two baseball lovers making the most out of the first game of the season. Fun and orgasms were had by all. LOL!

    Short stories in general are a hard sell for me because of their very nature...they're short. When telling a story about two people who don't know each other, that means the storyline has to move very quickly and sometimes things are rushed, which is the case for Opening Day. I would have preferred things to move at a little slower pace, but then it wouldn't be a short story.

    Regardless of the rush, there's still a lot of fun to be had in this tale of two sexy men connecting over a love of the game. *wink wink* The writing is solid and the characters are interesting and have a lot more to share...in the next story, coming soon.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Opening Day is the first book in the Southern Jersey Shores serie by Alexis Woods. It's a cute start to Aaron *Ace* and Darren's story. I liked it and really like to continue their story.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Aaron & Darren
    Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2021
    Aaron’s boyfriend just broke up with him and he has decided to take a break from dating since he seems to keep picking the wrong guys. The next day Darren is called to fill in for the pharmacist at his store and he is instantly attracted to him. Aaron and Darren get together for dinner that night to get to know each other. They end up spending the next evening together also, with explosive results. This was a very enjoyable short story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars HOT Opening Day
    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2021
    Ace meets Darren at work when Darren is filling in at the pharmacy. Ace is immediately taken with Darren's stunning blue eyes but is hesitant to act on his attraction. He's been in and out of relationships for the past couple of years that never seem to work out, and his last breakup was very recent. Darren has just moved to the area after relocating with his ex. Ace has a strong support system with his two best friends who only want what's best for him and encourage him not to rush into a new relationship. Ace can't resist the pull Darren has on him though, and they hit it off from the very first date. Date two on Opening Day is seriously hot and leaves you rooting for Ace and Darren to explore their potential relationship. Is this the start of something real, or are Ace and Darren just looking for any kind of connection after their recent breakups? The story ends on a HFN and I'm going right into the next book in the series, Evading Exodus, to see if Ace and Darren can make their budding relationship a lasting one.
