That raw honesty never gets old, and it’s why I continue to eagerly pick up every new release by the author. I also really enjoyed seeing Lucky and Dom significantly develop over the course of this book, and was incredibly happy that readers got to see the work and sacrifices they put in to create their happily-ever-after. It was unexpected and made the story that much more compelling. I loved how Lucky came across as the strong one in this romance. Miss Leigh always manages to create complex characters, and Lucky and Dominic were no exception. This is definitely not a case of “all you need is love” for either hero, but a seemingly honest examination of living as a closeted professional sports player in today’s world, as well as the adversity faced by someone trying to make it in a big city with little to no support system. The book contains plenty of that gritty honesty Miss Leigh is so well known for, which always packs a punch, and was especially nice to see in a sports romance. Lucky tells the story of a closeted Premier football player unexpectedly falling for a not-so-lucky young man who’s trying to make it in London any way he can. Losing Lucky seems inevitable, but his tight grip on his image counts for nothing when Lucky starts to fall.Ĭatching him could cost Dom everything, but if he can set his heart free, getting Lucky long term might be a risk worth taking.Īs a fan of the author and sport romances in general, I started this title with fairly high expectations and was happily not let down. Meeting once was risky, twice pushes Dom’s courage to the limit. 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. Lucky Coleman is on his knees when he meets a man with more money than sense.

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.

There are no trophies for being gay in his game. Genre(s): M/M Contemporary Romance, M/M Bisexual, M/M Coming Out, M/M Sports Romance, M/M Multicultural, Sports Romanceĭominic Ramos is a Premiership football player with a secret.
