Publisher's Summary
Dominic Ramos is a Premiership football player with a secret. There are no trophies for being gay in his game. Locked into his rep as the meanest defender on the pitch, keeping his secret is soul-crushing, but love has no place in his sport, even if his soft heart craves it.
Lucky Coleman is on his knees when he meets a man with more money than sense. It's a Grindr hook-up for cash, not a love match, but dreaming of his desperate, kind eyes earns a place amongst his numerous bad habits.
Meeting once was risky, twice pushes Dom's courage to the limit. Losing Lucky seems inevitable, but his tight grip on his image counts for nothing when Lucky starts to fall.
Catching him could cost Dom everything, but if he can set his heart free, getting Lucky long term might be a risk worth taking.
Contains mature themes.

Good, but a few issues
The story was good, great character development and you felt the struggle both MC’s were going through; particularly Lucky. I just would have liked to hear more about the big reveal - there was so much build up and then it abruptly jumped over most of it, with just a few reflections. Even to get the teams reaction, or the first game after the announcement etc. I’ve seen it done really well in other books and it’s hard not to compare.
Also, with the narration - narrator did a great job with capturing feeling angry, sad etc and if he was just doing one character would have been great; but there was no distinct voice change between the two MC’s he was voicing - so it was hard to know he changed to the reply from the other MC, because I didn’t know the other was speaking.
Overall, a good listen, but could have been better with a few changes.

Garrett Leigh hasn’t disappointed me yet!
Took a while to warm to Dom - probably because Lucky was so immediately likeable. But the storyline was strong and I soon realised Leigh’s characterisation of Dom in the early stages was essential to that storyline. It’s definitely a book I had to keep listening to and could I listen to again!

Gritty and beautiful
My first Garret Leigh book was a delight. Great character development and depth. Lucky and Dom are not a likely couple but the book is highly believable and beautiful as their relationship develops. Shaun Grindell is magnificent as the narrator. Bravo.

Can’t hide any more, Love !!
How sad when in life so many felt the burden of not being who they truly where. The anxiety of hiding to friends and family as well as have a high profile career.
This story touched me in so many ways, I love how the author brings to life real stories, with that touch of humour and snark. Well done.
I’d have to say Shaun Grindell is excellent, I’ve enjoyed every book hes narrated on.
In my opinion well worth the listen.
Be aware MM swoon worthy love.

Gritty, satisfying sports romance!
English Premiership footballer Dominic Ramos is rich but unhappy. He has always lived in fear of being outed as gay: he pays for sex and has never had a partner. He meets vagrant, drug-user Lucky Coleman on a paid Grindr hook-up and both men sense a connection. Having been ejected from his parents’ home for being gay, Lucky does what it takes to survive. What starts out as transactional slowly develops into real feelings and Lucky feels like things are finally turning around for him, but Dom still worries about being found out and losing the only career he’s ever known.
Garrett Leigh painted Lucky’s world so realistically and sympathetically—it was utterly believable without being overly angsty. I always love a good sports romance and this ticked all my boxes: a nice balance of sport and romance, two decent guys, the inevitable fear of discovery, and a truly satisfying HEA. 🎧 UK voice actor Shaun Grindell hits the emotions just right on the audio.
