Harrison’s
love life is a parade of fun, flirty encounters thanks to every dating app you
can imagine, but nothing sticks. Finally, sick of the endless cycle of Friday
night hookups, he hits uninstall on the apps and challenges the universe to
show him that he deserves someone better.
What he didn’t expect was the universe throwing him a curveball in the form of
his best friend’s younger brother. Despite being best friends with Gordon for
years, he’s never actually met his siblings and even half-joked they didn’t
exist.
But there they are, at a party at Gordon’s place, and one brother, Arlo, is
seriously hard to ignore. He’s nothing like Gordon. Quiet, adorable, and
totally off-limits… which sucks. But when Harrison spots an opportunity to help
him steady his nerves on his children’s book tour, he jumps at the chance to
get to know him better, because spending time with him feels like the most
right thing he’s done in forever.
The more time they spend together, the less Harrison can imagine being with
anyone else. But going after what he wants means betraying his best friend. Can
he find the courage to catch life’s most unexpected of pitches?

While Noah was a ball of energy at the outset, Arlo clutches a book against his
front with his casted hand like it could somehow create a barrier between him
and everything else in the world.
“I’m Harrison, but my friends call me Harry,” I say, and he turns toward me.
His big gorgeous blue eyes lock on mine and my stomach does a weird spinny
thing. I really should have eaten before I came.
“Hi,” he almost whispers, pulling his hand free of his brother and using it to
tuck his red hair behind his ears. He really doesn’t look much like Gordon at
all, not like Noah. They both have the same flame red hair, sure. But Arlo’s is
long, and hangs loosely around his face like a curtain he can hide behind, it
contrasts beautifully with his porcelain skin and bright blue eyes and I find
myself unable to look away.

I instantly loved Arlo. I hated how his brothers acted like he couldn't do
anything on his own. Was he accident prone? Sure, but he didn't need to be
watched like they did in my opinion.
Harry was a former player who wanted to find love and deleted all his dating
apps. His BFF, Gordy, Arlo's brother, didn't think he'd change his player ways
and, of course, warned him off both of his brothers. Brothers who no one
believed were real until this book.
I loved how Harry was so kind and gentle with Arlo about his anxiety reading
his book in front of others. Harry sitting in that audience with the kids just
melted my heart. Every. Damn. Time. I wish we could have seen the drawings Arlo
did – they sounded amazing. And the whole time I was reading the book I was
thinking about this page I follow on TikTok, thesavbananas. check them out,
they are hilarious!
This was a sweet, low angst (only angst was Arlo's brother not knowing about
the relationship and then being told in an odd way), opposites attract book.
Fast, easy, light read.

Harrison is known as the team’s playboy. He sleeps around and is never looking
for anything serious and that's okay with him… until recently. He has started
wanting more. A relationship and not just a hookup. When his best friend's
(Gordon) brother, Arlo, shows up to a party and feels out of place, Harrison
spends the evening talking to him about his book and life. Quickly the night
passes and Harrison realizes what a good evening he's had. BUT nothing can
happen between them. Gordon has warned Harrison to stay away from his brother
and told Arlo to stay away from Harrison. Harrison doesn't try to go after Arlo,
but he promises to be there for him when he has to do a reading of his book.
Slowly their friendship develops into so much more.
Arlo is Gordon's shy nerdy brother. He's an author and wrote a children's book
about Gordon and the rest of the Banana Ball teams. When he has to read in
front of people, he's terrified but Harrison steps in to help him and calm him
down. Arlo can't be nervous with Harrison sitting with the kids, grinning at
him. Gordon can warn him away all he wants but Arlo falls for Harrison hard.
He's the first person that sees Arlo for who he is and not how nerdy and clumsy
he can be. Can they make Gordon see what they have is real?
I loved this second installment of this series. Banana Ball is amazing to watch
in real life and to get a series based on it is even better. Harrison and Arlo
were perfect for each other. Their chemistry was explosive and so sweet.
Harrison wanted to protect Arlo but not hold him back from living like his
brothers do.
I can't wait to see what's next for this team!
