I discovered Stewart Granger years ago in college, and this is by far one of my favorite films of his. If you enjoy a good Swashbuckler classic in the ways of say Errol Flynn, then you won't be disappointed. Full of fun, laughter and sword playing, this is a great film for all ages.

Coming Out on Top is a visual novel about Mark Matthews (who's kind of a weenie), college senior, newly out of the closet. Guide him through his last semester of school and through various sexual misadventures. There are several characters you can develop a "romance" with, and the storylines are not always obvious. You have to learn the characters motives to get them to like you. Other times, it feels more random. However, there is a good variety of characters for you to meet and romance.
(And the art is pretty sexy. Something for everyone, I think.)

Ready? OKAY!
Not the best of the "Bring it on" movies. Actually, I think I enjoyed this one at least. Perhaps because there wasn't much of a story to it, the romance was instant and there wasn't even a real cheerleading competition in the end, just a battle between two squads at the same college.
I also don't think the main characters were good either.

Heartfelt and beautiful romance
Author January Andrews is 29, miserable, broke, single, and semi-homeless. She's had her entire life view shattered. Now she's arriving at her late father's secret lakeside home. The one he just happened to share, secretly, with a second woman that wasn't her mother. There she finds herself living next door to her college rival--now a successful author--Augustus Everett. But soon the two discover they're both struggling with writer's block and strike a deal: Augustus will write something cheery and happy (January's style) and she'll attempt something serious (his style). To assist in this endeavor, they'll take each other on field trips: for instance, she'll bring him to theaters showing old romantic comedies, and he'll take her to interview cult members. And, under no circumstances, will they fall in love.
"Here’s the thing about writing Happily Ever Afters: it helps if you believe in them. Here’s the thing about me: I did until the day of my father’s funeral."
I adored this romance, which isn't a fun and easy love story, but instead a tale of two broken people trying to find their way again in the world. The book focuses almost solely on January and "Gus," as she knows him from college, and oh these characters are just so amazing, popping from the pages as you get to know them. There are great wonderful side characters as well, particularly Gus' aunt.
The banter in this book is unbelievable, as January and Gus first continue their college rivalry and then slowly get to know each other. In fact, I challenge you to find another romance with such wonderful gradual sexy chemistry. And January is simply hilarious and wonderful and inspiring despite the fact that's grieving--not just the loss of her father, but the loss of the idea of him, the person she'd known and idealized.
Overall, this is just an amazing book. Sad yet humorous and sexy and romantic. I can't recommend it enough. 4.5+ stars.

fantastic read
Omg, this book is just amazing, I was up late reading it, just couldn't put it down. This book is filled up with swoon worthy moments, sex, hot and steamy scenes, banter and amazing characters. The characters have very intense hot and steamy chemistry between them as well as a strong connection. This is a sports college romance story with so much more added. This book has it all, fantastic characters, amazing story and lots of chemistry. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
