Blurb
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.
REVIEW
Review by: Jennifer
(3 Stars)
Dom is so far in the closet that he can't see the door, the only time he lets his sexuality out of that closet is for on the sly hookups. Hookups that normally cost money, but for Dom's reputation paying to get off is better than someone knowing who he is. Lucky went to a Grindr hook up to get off and get cash, he did not expect to have Dom's sad eyes haunting him days after. He didn't expect to act like a teenage girl checking his phone and thinking of him at all times. The two are at complete opposites as far as economic standings go. Dom is a rich football player, while Lucky is lucky when he can crash at his friends house, other wise he is on the street. Can the two who are in completely different life standings make something work? Will Dom ever find the courage to come out of the closet?
So this book started out really good, and about half way through just fell a bit flat and then had a rushed ending. I ended this book a bit disappointed, I wanted more from Dom and Lucky, just glossing over everything didn't make an ending. I give this 3 stars.
