There were so many sweet and cute moments interspaced with the heavy angst, and although the ending was kind of open-ended, it was definitely happy. This book is heavy on the angst, but the promise of happy ending kept me going. Xander and Chris have the type of love that love-ballads are written about-it’s so strong and pure and there were many moments where my breath caught in my throat. The Locker Room is a standalone, sports romance focused on the intense love between two professional athletes.

These boys love the hell out of each other, and their devotion make me wibble. Other than 'Oh God, really?' during all the lovescenes (see my response to the narrator questions), the actual work makes me tear up at places. He's got a great voice, and I would totally get another book if he did it, only if he cut that overacting bit out.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Some of the part of the dialogue was really hard to hear because he was trying too hard. The reader has enough imagination to figure out what a man having a orgasm sounds like (and if we don't, we can watch porn). No really, you don't have to act out every sigh, gasp, laugh, sob, and (cringe) moan. My automatic response is Sean Crisden, but really, Michael Anthony's performance could have been much, much better if he stopped overacting.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Michael Anthony? I can't compare Amy Lane's work to anything but her others, Keeping Promise Rock, and the Talker series and any other that involve such character torture leading to a happy ending that's so satisfying. What other book might you compare The Locker Room to and why? No matter if it's one of her sweeter, happier tales or an angsty one, all of her guys EARN their happy ending. What did you love best about The Locker Room?Īmy Lane never fails to run her characters through the wringer. Amazing Story.once you get past the narration.
