Rocking the Boat is a sweet college romance. I can certainly remember what it's like to be a teen and wonder if the person you're crushing on likes you. The chemistry between Nick and Morgan is undeniable. I can totally understand why each is reluctant to make the first move - but at times I just wanted to scream give in already! Just enough tension to keep you reading with a storyline that's not too sports heavy. ( )

This was a great combination between a pretty realistic love story between two very normal guys and a slightly exotic setting. The world of rowing isn't one that I'm very familiar with, and I liked all the little details I learned about that sport while I was reading about Nick and Morgan.

Nick is the older of the two, a graduate student and a coach, and he knows he's in trouble if anyone finds out he's falling for his younger colleague. Since they are both students I didn't have any issues with the teacher/student relationship, but I did think that his initial hesitation vanished fairly quickly and conveniently once temptation was too much for him. Of course, this comes back to haunt him, but that was as it should be. He did ignore the rules and regulations, after all, even if I didn't think there was a moral issue with what they did.

Morgan is the younger partner, but the more aggressive one. Well, he has to be, to get through Nick's defenses. I thought this was pretty selfish of him, he never seems to stop and think (or discuss with Nick) what would happen if they get caught.

The two are great together, I loved their dialogue. There are also some appropriately tense moments that provide a good crisis towards the end. If you like your characters to be realistic, close to real life and loving, you will like this book.

I was expecting something more dramatic, and this is not always a bonus for me, and so I was pleasantly surprised to find out this was a nice and sweet college romance. Now we are talking of students and coach, so it was also “sweat”, meaning that these are two men with their hormones all working at high speed, so there is also hot sex, and good teasing, and even some dirty dancing, but all in all this was a romantic story.

Nick is the 29 years old coach of a college rowing team and he is a little embarrassed to realize he is attracted by one of his students, Morgan. Even if they have less than 10 years separating each other, Nick is in no position to make a move on Morgan, and so he is basically pining for the guy, and trying in every way to push him away. Problem is that Morgan has the hot for the handsome and young coach, and he is not allowing any pushing, unless it’s not the right push (yes, pun intended).

It’s basically a college romance, these guys seem to not have much trouble in their life if not making the trials and completing their test; Morgan is on a scholarship, Nick is both studying for his bachelor degree and coaching, their prospect future is pretty clear and they can enjoy their romance. Indeed, as Morgan states, Nick’s reticence on the assumption he is the coach and Morgan a student is pretty lame, and for that reason Morgan decides to not take it too seriously.

I like the nice contrast that was Morgan, big and muscle bound, but with a tender heart; Morgan came out to his family when he was a teenager, he had his time to experiment, and now he wants commitment, a boyfriend, and a bond for the future. Plus, even if bigger and stronger than Nick, he likes a dominant lover, and Nick, with those years on him and the role of the coach, plenty fit the description. Actually I think that, if they were same age, they wouldn’t be so perfect together, since Nick didn’t come out as very domineering, actually he seemed to me more the quiet one, someone who likes things pretty and simple. In any case don’t get me wrong, Morgan is not searching for a D/s relationship, he is more for a little role/play in bed.
