Jacob Kendricks is three months out of prison, estranged from his daughter, and ready to get his life on track. Taking care of the bum curled up on his doorstep isn’t part of the plan. When he realizes the man has been assaulted, Jake takes him to the hospital, where he learns that Max is his downstairs neighbor… and that he could really use a friend. Keeping Max in the friend-zone would be easier if he wasn’t so damned cute.
Maxwell Wilson has been bullied for years, and the only person who ever cared lives too far away to come to his rescue. Now his upstairs neighbor is offering support. Max remains cautious, suspecting he is little more than a project for the handsome Jake. When he learns Jake has had boyfriends as well as girlfriends, Max has to reevaluate his priorities—and muster the courage to take a chance at love.
Just when a happy future is within their grasp, life knocks them back down. A devastating blow leaves Max lower than ever and Jake wrestling with regret. They both have to find the strength to stand on their own before they can stand together.

This is a well-written and entertaining romance novel....the first one I've read that featured bisexual/homosexual lovers. The characters are well-drawn and, although the plot follows the typical romance formula, the two main characters have some "heavy" stuff in their pasts, and, in my opinion, because of this, the novel has much more depth than the few other romance novels I've read. It was very interesting to learn about Max and Jake's past lives/issues and see how they worked through that pain and those mistakes, and move forward. Martial arts training figured in the "recovery" process for both characters, and that adds an interesting dimension to the book. I do not typically read romance novels, but I will look for another romance by this author.Product details

Block and Strike edition by Kelly Jensen Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Independent reviewer for Divine Magazine, I was gifted my copy of this book.
Finding Max on his doorstep was not what Jake needed. But after he realises Max is not drunk, but injured, Jake comes over all mother hen and his protective instincts go into overdrive. But Jake might be the cause of Max' injuries, and he doesn't know how to tell Max why. When something happens to Max that pushes their relationship to the very limit, Jake and Max have to dig deep.
*this is one of those times I wish I'd written the review right after finishing the book!*
I started to write this review, at work. I got sidetracked. All that is on the page is 5 stars. Which is a good good thing, because now, after reading 4 books since this one, I've gotta dig deep to find what I really enjoyed about it!!
Ok, Its told from both men's point of view, check.
In the third person, check.
It has lots of angst, check.
It has lots of love, check.
It has an amazing family for Jake, check.
A not so nice one for Max, check.
It has Jake falling apart, check.
It has Max pulling himself back together, check.
Oh, you know what?? It has a little bit of every emotion known to man, and then some. Its painful in places, its joyous in others. Dark in places, yet delightful in other. It has Jake seeking redemption, but not giving it those he wronged.
Its brilliant!! Now I'm actually typing the review up, I know why I wrote those 5 stars at the top of the page, and I just wanna gush. And gushing does not a decent review make.
I seriously really enjoyed this book. I've not read anything by Jensen before, she is now firmly sat on my ever-growing wish list!!!
so, as I said...
5 stars

I enjoyed the interplay between the two main characters. Nothing too surprising or deep, but a well written story. I would recommend it as a light, feel good read.
In Block and Strike, Kelly Jensen has created two wonderfully defined characters, Jake and Max. The men are faced with and try to navigate, conflicts, misunderstandings, trust, longing and ultimately love--I loved spending time with them.
Secondary characters, including place are well crafted. The author's expert story telling takes us on a lovely ride that we want to stay on, all the way to the satisfying end.
A must read for m/m romance junkies.
This is one of the best books I've read this year. And I read a LOT of books!
Happenstance, hesitation, perseverance, wariness, angst, all these emotions flowed through this heartwarming story of two lost souls finding their way to trust and eventually love. They each had tragic pasts they had to work through. It was hard work but nothing in life worth having is always easy.
This is the story of their journey to happiness. It's a love story that was hard fought and so worth the effort. Jacob and Max found their HEA.
This was an engrossing story. Well written and I highly recommend it.
“Block and Strike” is my first book by Kelly Jensen and I was not disappointed. I loved reading Jake and Max’s story. I loved how Ms Jensen gave us so much more than just romance, she gave us a book about finding oneself and overcoming personal demons. I really liked that the romance was a slow burn and wasn’t the main focus of the story, I don’t think it would have worked otherwise. Although I do have issues with how Dominick and his friends got away with what they did, and how quickly Dominick changes, I didn’t buy that one bit. I recommend this book if you are looking for a friendship to more book, you won’t be disappointed.
4.5 Stars!
Jacob and Max. I love the complexity of this romance. I love how much each hero has going on internally and externally when they meet.
All the conflicts press in on them and they fall in love anyway and we want them too.
This is a well written love story with so many fine details internalized homophobia, martial arts, bi phobia, anger management. Despite the dark themes, this is a hopeful and healing romance overall with a great cast and wonderful arc for each hero.
Jacob delays telling Max somethings too long in ways that don't make sense but they are both flawed, lovely and lovable characters that I adored.
I've read a lot of romances over the last almost two years. Some of them are among the finest books I've read, ever. This one isn't quite that perfect, but oh, it's close. It misses only because I'm a sf/f fan at heart, and this is contemporary. The evolution of the attraction through many stages is just amazingly well done. The delicacy the author displays in showing feelings is impressive; at one point it startled tears from my eyes. Every character is so well portrayed I feel like I've met them, like I'd know them on the street.
If you are in need of a very well written m/m romance, this is your book.
