Steamroller Kindle Edition

by Mary Calmes (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 1,150 ratings
About the last thing Vincent Wade expected was for Carson Cress to ask him out. Vince is a dedicated student and a bit of a loner. Superstar quarterback Carson is larger than life, and he lives under a public microscope. There's no way they should work.

But Vince is learning that sometimes people come steamrolling into your life and all you can do is hang on for the ride or lose your heart in the process. If their relationship can survive the fallout when an injury derails Carson's future plans, maybe Vince can finally find something to believe in.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fast-paced, hot and sweet short romance

    4.5

    Steamroller is a standalone Contemporary MM Romance. HEA. Shorter read. Sports romance. Sweet and cute. Insta-attraction. Opposites attract. Trigger warnings: Receiving a significant physical injury, Being abandoned by your birth family.

    1 POV, 3rd person, past tense. 120 pages. This Kindle edition 5 July 2021.

    This oldie was repubbed and it had a hot Reese Dante cover added. It was a great reread. I wish I'd reread it ages ago! It's short, sweet and cute and advances at a very fast pace toward the end. The story's about 2 young students who fall headlong for each other. The other, the jock, suffers a bad injury and that's it for his dad's dreams of his sports career. What felt a bit unrealistic was the ease of adjustment in future plans if we stop to consider it realistically, but it fit with what else we saw of his character full of speed and determination. This one's a fast and easy read, not very long one. It works as it is. It's sweet enough to be a comfort-read. A very nice reread.

    5.0 out of 5 stars In a short novel, this author does a remarkable job
    Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Calmes is one of my favorite authors. Short stories or
    novels are very difficult to write. How do you create a world in very few pages? In many ways it is far harder than a longer book where you can take your time with character development. This is a great example of how to do it well. At the end if the book I felt like I knew more about the characters then was reflected in the number of pages.
    The story is about 2 very young men, one who has been openly gay and another slightly older one who is a star athlete discovering his sexual preferences. It touches on the serious issues that coming out may result in, from parental desertion to stereotypes about what a gay male acts and looks like in competitive sports.
    While I love her longer series of books, this remains a great example of how to tell a fully fleshed out tale in fewer pages. There are some steamy scenes but not to excess.

    This was the second book I read after finding out about Mary Calmes and one of the books I can always read again. I would love to read more about Vince & Carson if she ever decides add to their narrative.

    This is a wonderfully light story that still makes you care about the couple and get lost in their story.

    Goodness this story was so good I literally did not want it to end and found myself feeling sad when I realized it was a novella. The book title “Steamroller” is perfect. The chemistry, fire and electricity between Vince and Carter was written beautifully. Once they connected there was no turning back and Vince was truly steamrolled into his HEA. Gosh I wish there was a book 2!!! 😩❤️

    Carson and Vince,the title is spot on and Carson is absolutely convinced that Vince is the one. It takes a lot of fast talking to get Vince to agree that they are in love and when both guy's physically connect its spontaneous combustion! I'm not gonna lie I wish there had been a epilogue as it seemed to need it but at least you get the hea.

    A waste of time and nothing else. No plot to speak of. No story to tell. Superficial to an extreme. And boring too. No recomendation from my side. Zero stars, if possible. This book is the first and last title by this author that I have to endure. I almost did not finish.
