The FULLBACK is a poly clueless best friends to lovers and teammates younger brother rugby romance.
From the blurb:
Wanted: The Chance To Find Love Without My Heart Getting Totally Rucked
When I end up in bed with my best friend, Hunter, and our teammate’s younger brother, Aiden, it’s only meant to be one night of casual fun… but my heart has other ideas.
I’ve had feelings for Hunter for years, but I’ve never allowed myself to admit them. Not even to myself. Then there’s Aiden, whose stunning confidence is making both of us fall for him. He’s sexy, funny, assertive, and utterly irresistible, and Hunter and I are drawn to him in a way we’ve never been to anyone.
The pair of us have never considered dating each other, let alone a relationship with someone else, and I’m terrified that telling Hunter how I feel will only lead to me getting hurt.
I have to take the risk though, because I can’t bear to lose Hunter or Aiden. If not, I’ll always wonder what if…
Content Warning: Hunter has a history of disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and excessive exercise.
Molly Otto's review:
Hunter & Bailey are codependent clueless best friends who have loved one another for years without realizing until Aiden. Aiden is a self-assured trans man who now owns every part of me, he has no shame in being is most authentic Dom self and shows these two men how great life will be if they wake up and realize what's in front of them. Aiden shows Bailey & Hunter how to speak up and ask what they want from each other, while bringing their friendship to a deeper bond. Charlie tackles body dysphoria and excessive exercising recovery in a beautifully balanced real way, you see Hunter still struggles but with the support of his best friend and team is able to handle the obstacles that may pop in his way. Bailey is one of those characters that you just smile and be thankful to have someone that supportive and loving in your corner. Seriously I do not have words on how much I adored these men, even while faceplanting self-multiple times, like guys wake up and see what is in front of you. The triad balance is spot on at no point do you feel any of these men are left out or could not be an essential part for their relationship to work. With cameos from previous characters, it was nice to see their growth and how far they have come in not only their life but their relationships.
Heather's review:
I've been trying to read a lot of queer joy lately to combat the world we live in and I have to say that The Fullback hit all the marks! Oblivious besties, a confident trans man and a boatload of patience to reach their true triad relationship... I loved watching Hunter & Bailey open up to themselves and each other as Aiden directs them masterfully - a natural Dom and his eager submissives... While each of the men has issues to overcome, Hunter's body dysmorphia, disordered eating and excessive exercising was woven into the story in a sensitive and meaningful way.
I also like that this continues the supportive friend group and team that has been a hallmark of this Lincoln Knights series! I can't wait to see what comes next!
