Sprint by H__Blanca

Book #4 in the Medley Series ARCHER SALISBURY: We're in the last sprint before the Olympics, and my spot on the Medley team is hanging by a thread. I don't have time for distractions... or competition. But I get both in the form of an aggravating new roommate and annoyingly talented teammate: Leroy James. With my parents breathing down my neck and my team taking a liking to Leroy, I feel like the walls are closing in on me. And to top it all off, Leroy is devastatingly handsome and completely unavailable-keeping my eyes to myself has never been more crucial. Or impossible. He's the rival I never wanted and the person I crave more each day but can never have. This year is going to be hell. LEROY JAMES: Changing city, college, and team a year before the Olympics is less than ideal. Also not ideal? Sharing a dorm with a deviously attractive swimmer with a mean streak. Archer Salisbury hates me on sight. He's rich, ruthless in the pool, and has a girlfriend for every day of the week. Between caring for my father and trying to swim myself into a spot on Team USA before it's too late, I don't have time for this new rivalry, but winding him up is too easy and too much fun. Archer is intent on making my life more miserable than it already is, and yet I can't help craving a taste. He's the forbidden fruit; I only want to corrupt him. I'll be going straight to hell.

Though it happened while he was on a date with another man, Neil can't shake the memory of the drinks, jazz, and extraordinary company that night provided. He knows better than to hope for more, yet he can't help but feel disappointed when the stranger never calls. No matter. Few gropes and good booze were never going to be the mystical balm to all his aches. He had a life to get back to in India. Vancouver was just a pitstop.

Effortless by Socray19

His tone was low, "So you're jealous?" His lips looked so soft. "Of the guy who is good at everything without putting in an ounce of work? Yeah, maybe I am." "You wanna know what else is effortless?" Javier challenged. I bit my bottom lip. "What?" "My feelings for you." - To work so hard for something and then watch someone else do it better effortlessly is infuriating. That was definitely the case for Elias. Elias Richardson wanted to be the best at something, academics was what he chose. With a lot of hard work and dedication, he achieved his goal. So when Javier Cortez came along and started showing him up at everything he did, he became furious. Now everything that they do is a competition whether Javier knows it or not. But somewhere along the line that hate filled competition begins to turn into undeniable feelings that take a lot less effort. - {TW⚠️: This book contains heavy depictions of alcoholism, verbal abuse, mental disorders, mature themes and strong language.
