The Outfielders
By Robert P. Rowe
Sometimes love can
come out of left field.
Tony was waiting
until he went away to college to come out to his parents and start his new gay
life. Unfortunately, at twenty-four, it doesn’t look like college is going to
happen after all. Stuck in a dead-end job in a small town and still living at
home, with all the arrested development that entails, he finds escape in
playing for the company baseball team and lusting after his straight outfielder
crush, Alex. But Tony’s best friend, Jennifer, thinks she’s found a plan in the
pages of gay romance novels. All Tony has to do is convince Alex he’s gay for
you… or for Tony. It’s easy—just find some excuse to be alone in bed together
and let nature take its course. What could possibly go wrong?
You can’t get to
first base if you don’t take a chance and step up to the plate.

Tony has had a thing for Alex since Alex moved to Groverville in his junior year. They now both work in the big box store called Markdowns that has practically wiped out the town. Tony's best friend Jennifer is pushing Tony to make a move to get Alex's attention. Tony is sure you can't turn a straight man gay, but Jenifer thinks he can. She gives him a book ironically called Outfielders to boost Tony along.
This story is fun and cute in so many ways. First of all the way Robert P Rowe wrote the story it is like Tony is talking straight to us. Second is how he coincides the book we are reading t=with Outfielders as Tony reads it. (pure genius). All of the characters are so fun, charming, and different. The storyline is cute and fast paced with some interesting twists. I highly recommend this story if you like closeted men, Gay for you, Coming out, over, New adult, and all over, fun sweet and sexy romance.
Robert P. Rowe has
spent his entire career as a storyteller making an incredible leap from
Disneyland ride operator to show-designer and art director at Walt Disney
Imagineering. Immersive storytelling presents a distinctive challenge unlike
that of live theater, film, radio, or print media. Although he currently
freelances, his work can be found around the world, primarily in Disney and
Universal Studios parks. The theme park industry is a very cyclical business
where it’s either feast or famine. For Rowe his active imagination can’t seem
to take any time off. When he’s not designing fantastic worlds he’s writing
about the characters who live there. Additionally his outside interests include
all aspects of architecture with a specific fascination for the theatrical
design of homes from mid-century movies and television. He has a keen
enthusiasm for mid-century science fiction.
