Medley (Changing Lanes, Book 2)
by Layla Reyne
Sebastian Stewart was never Mr. Dependable; he was more the good-time guy who only wanted to swim, party, and ink tattoos. Until he cost his team the Olympic gold four years ago. Bas is determined to do right this time around—by his medley relay team and his rookie mentee.
Jacob Burrows is in over his head. The Olympic experience—from the hazing, to the endless practices, to the unrelenting media—makes the shy nineteen-year-old’s head spin. He’s trying to be everything to everyone while trying not to fall for his gorgeous tattooed teammate who just gets him—gets his need to fix things, his dorky pirate quips, and his bisexuality.
When Jacob falters under the stress, threatening his individual races and the medley relay gold, he needs Bas’s help to escape from drowning. Bas, however, fearing a repeat of his mistakes four years ago, pushes Jacob away, sure he’ll only let Jacob down. But the only path to salvaging gold is for Jacob to finally ask for what he needs—the heart of the man he loves—and for Bas to become the dependable one.

This book has all the feels!
I loved it! This book has everything I don’t know I wanted! Angst, heart, drama, and love, this book took me on a ride and kept me entwined from beginning to end!
I love Jacob. He is so caring, selfless and considered, with his over-observing nature, he sees more than he should and is mature beyond his 19 years. He truely is the heart and glue of the team and brings out the best in everyone around him. I felt for his struggles and doubts and loved his adorable un-coolness (and pirate quips) he exudes throughout the book.
Now Bas sounds so hot! The characters descriptions for Bas are swoon worthy and I am so glad there is so much depth to Bas and his own struggles with commitment and personal doubts are just as relatable as Jacobs. While Bas and Jacob are different in many ways they fit together so perfectly I’m so glad I got to read their story. This book was a whirlwind ride, following on seamlessly from book 1 and concluding with the perfect happy ending for all four main characters from the two books. Jacob and Bas hold a special place in my heart and opened my eyes to the real world struggles bisexual people can face.
Thank you Layla for creating these characters and allowing us to become a part of their story!
Thanks for reading 📚!
