The Kicker by Leonor Soliz
Beta read: I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the series now!
Reread: I love where this ended up after the beta read I did earlier this month! I really liked Damián and Nat's best friends to lovers story; the short story was a great intro to the new upcoming series. After he asked her out in college and she asked for friendship, that's what they've had: purely platonic, with him fully shoving down any feelings or attraction and ignoring it. Now years later, he's having a harder time denying what's still deep down and now she's starting to see him in a new way as well. The mutual pining is excellent, and because it's a short story we don't have to wait long for them to confess, talk about things, and test whether adding a physical aspect to their relationship is feasible (spoiler alert: it is!). Just a few hints into the series but they've got me excited!
