I was thrilled to learn Ms. Lynn had decided to resume the Campus Cravings series, and this newest release is a worthy addition to the family of books.I liked Chet before. He's a good guy. Kind, responsible and caring and his inability to express his feeling to the much younger Bobby aren't unexpected. He's the kind of man who doesn't take advantage of others and the differences in their ages makes him feel like some kind of perv. Ms. Lynne did a nice job getting his over these feelings, letting Bobby convince him of the seriousness of his own emotions. They get well. Yes, they have some trouble due to their coach/player positions but their love or one another trumps it all.I loved seeing many of the characters from the previous set of books, and how Bobby interacted with them. They played important, if small roles, and if expect to see more of them in the future. Then there was Dane, Bobby's new roomie. This shy guy is interesting and I want to know more about him and the older professor he's crazy about. I hope Ms. Lynne concentrates on them in a future release.Overall, the is good beginning to what I hope will be another long run of books. Can you say another ten or maybe even twenty. Hint. Hint, Ms. Lynne. It has been quite a while since I read a 'Campus Cravings' book, and it was almost like coming home when I started this one. Many of the previous books' characters are back, but the focus is on Chet, a football coach, and Bobby, the student who scared Chet into running away three years ago. Of course, it's more complicated than that, but the basic problem is that Chet (as the much older man) is scared to admit he has feelings for someone who isn't just much younger, but whom he is supposed to coach as well.Bobby is determined to make things or with the man he fell in love with when he was eighteen and still in high school. Chet was supposed to coach him in college - but when Bobby arrived, Chet had vanished. Of course this hurt Bobby deeply, all the more because his father died two years later and Bobby could have really done with some support. Not having any friends at a college he only went to so he could be with Chet was hard. Now he's figured out a way to transfer to Chet's current college in Idaho, and he is determined to make it work. "Minor" complications like an injury he hides so he can still get his scholarship only make his task more difficult.Chet is an interesting man. Yes, he has all the hangups about being so much older than Bobby, but on top of that his mother was much younger than his father and left them when Chet was a young kid - because she had "changed her mind" and wasn't ready to settle down. It's still not a really good reason for Chet to ignore his own feelings, but fear like that will make people do strange things. Now that Bobby has made his intentions more than clear, Chet has to face the truth. Coaching someone and being his boyfriend at the same time isn't easy, so Chet has his work cut out for him.If you like May/December romances, if a conflict between job and personal responsibilities sounds interesting, and if you're looking for a read in the best tradition of the 'Campus Cravings' series, then you will probably like this novella.NOTE: This book was provided by Total-E-Bound for the purpose of a review.
