Common Goal by Rachel Reid
I liked this so much more than the previous book, and I normally don't like age gaps. However, the younger partner was 25, almost 26, so it wasn't near as irritating as it could have been. This was also much funnier than book 3, on par with book 2 for humor. Eric is going through a lot; he's been divorced for a year, he's about to turn 41, he has decided to retire but is putting off announcing it, and he has decided to stop ignoring the fact that he is bisexual. The only issue is that he is very quite, reserved, and has no idea how to pick up men. Enter Kyle. He works at the same bar as Kip, has a huge crush on Kip, and befriends Eric to the delight of Scott and Kip. Eric confides in Kyle about his bisexuality and Kyle offers to take him out to help him ease into picking up men. The only problem for Kyle is he thinks Eric is attractive and he wants to be the guy to go home with him. They decide that Kyle is going to be his instructor in all things male and they start hooking up. Then, they both catch feelings but Eric keeps pushing them away because of the age gap. At Kyles' urging he comes out to Scott and because he is just a genuinely good person Scott is so happy for him. Eric also tells Scott about retiring; Scott doesn't react near as well to this. His last game is bittersweet; they lost during the playoffs, at an away game. But, Eric and Scott buy the bar together and let Kyle make changes. Eric and Kyle travel and Eric explores his photography. Also, we get the Scott and Kip wedding in this book! I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next one!
