Sweat

Like Teammates, Book 1

By: Jonah Yorke

Narrated by: Daniel Lewis, Tom Taylorson

Tommy

I should hate Rowan Hughes. He was a bully when we were kids, and now I find out he's messed around with my girlfriend. But how can I hate the campus soccer star when he's everything I've always wanted to be?

With my reputation on the line, I can't let Rowan get away with humiliating me in front of people I know—people we both go to school with.

When he swears he didn't know Annalese was my girlfriend, I actually believe him. When he says I'm good enough to play beside him, I want to believe that too. But when he insists he's not gay, all I want is to prove him wrong.

Rowan

I made one dumb decision at a party, and now Tommy Mathison thinks I'm into his girl. He couldn't be more wrong, but it's not because I'm gay. It's because I'm weak. Now I've got a beefed-up babyface's knuckle prints bruising the side of my face, and I can't get him out of my head.

Tommy isn't weak, and he may just be the missing piece my team needs to win a championship before I go pro. I don't know why he quit soccer after high school, but getting him back on the field is easy. Keeping him close without losing control? That's the real challenge.

Sweat is a high-spice hurt/comfort sports romance that deals with heavy themes related to identity, mental health, grief, and coping with past trauma. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Outstanding

If I could give it 10* I would. These boys have my heart! Get ready to have your heart broken and then glued back together again

I am speechless!!!!

This book was absolutely INCREDIBLE! The love story was so genuine and real, The way these two men grow together was so beautiful to witness. I laughed and cried amd kicked my feet with all the sweet moments. The way I could not stop consuming this was like no other! Rowan was so well written, you really felt what he was feeling, his story, his hidden parts, it all just touched a part of my heart. Then there's our sweet Tommy, he's so sweet, and innocent and so devoted to everyone in his life, I cannot wait to see what this author writes next! Jonah Yorke really hit the ground running on this ! Narration was brilliant 👏

Beautiful

I love a story with characters that actually talk to each other. What a fantastic book. The conflict was realistic, the characters grew and the story was believable. Loved it. 10/10.

Best Read Of The Year

This is one of the most beautiful hurt/comfort books I have ever read. Both MMCs have their own struggles and their own accomplishments. They have a push and pull that ends in a beautiful love story. This book will make you cry but also make you smile. The narrators did a great job conveying all the emotions necessary for this storyline

Sweat was Sweet

4.75 ⭐️ 3.5🌶
This was a really good read/listen. I enjoyed Tommy and Rowan's dynamic as rivals to frenemies to best friends to lovers. The repressed feelings and flirting was done really well and I liked that they had prior history prior to the present. The hurt/comfort for both of these boys was so sweet between them. Definitely a great story. Daniel and Tom did a great job bringing these boys to life.
