An Auckland Med. Story


What if you’ve worked your whole life for a dream, to play rugby for the most successful sports team on the planet, the New Zealand All Blacks?


What if that dream is so close you can smell it?


What if you meet someone?


What if you fall in love?


What if your dream will cost the man who’s stolen your heart?


And what if the dream changes?



Reuben Taylor has a choice to make.


Cameron Wano is that choice.


My Two Pennies' Worth

I'm having a great run on sports romances atm, but to be fair most of them have been ice hockey, of which I know absolutely nothing. This is more in my ballpark. Rugby. And whilst I've written several characters that formerly played or play for fun,  I don't think I've read a story set in a rugby team before, especially one of the best teams in the world. 

I've always believed that the world of rugby is a far more tolerant arena for a gay player (or referee) than say, football or ice hockey, but that doesn't mean to say that bigotry isn't an issue and the closet isn't a welcome place to spend your career. 

This book had so many things I loved (on top of the rugby): a big, big closeted MC, a sassy twink, size difference, age difference, opposites attract, an environment where the team has their back and isn't toxic. Rugby, did I mention this is set in the world of rugby?

If you love sports books and are looking for something where the setting is a little bit different (there's no ice), then this book could be for you.  

Jay Hogan is a New Zealand author writing in m/m romance, romantic suspense and fantasy. She has travelled extensively and has lived in quite a few countries. She has a BA degree in Nursing and in Theology, and in another life, she was an Intensive Care Nurse, Counselor, and a Lecturer.


She is a cat aficionado especially of Maine Coons, and an avid dog lover (but don’t tell the cat). She loves to cook- pretty damn good, loves to sing - pretty damn average, and as for loving full-time writing -absolutely… depending of course on the day, the word count, the deadline, how obliging her characters are, the ambient temperature in the Western Sahara, whether Jupiter is rising, the size of the ozone hole over New Zealand and how much coffee she’s had.


She has complex boys telling stories in her head that demand attention and a considerable number of words to go with them. Their journeys are never straightforward and even surprise Jay. She does her best to plot things out ahead of time but those pesky characters seem to have a mind of their own. Go figure.
