"The fly-half" is book two in the Lincoln knights series. It's a sports romance and it can be read as a standalone. We follow Devon and Johnny. The two of them play for the same rugby team and have been friends since they were teenagers. Devon has always been in love with Johnny but he thinks that his best friend is straight.
Childhood best friends to lovers is my absolute favorite, I also really loved Johnny's bi awakening and the demisexual representation. Their journey felt realistic and I connected with both characters. I especially loved Devon, he was such a sweet person. Johnny was a bit too overprotective and jealous but I liked that he acknowledged that it was a problem and actually went to therapy. He grew so much as a person.
Their chemistry was chef's kiss, absolutely delicious. I really really loved them together.
I also liked that the rugby team was a big family and they all took care of each other.
Fantastic addition to the series. I can't wait to read the next book.
