Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Heather K (dentist in my spare time) on October 22, 2018

Gritty and very British, Lucky is a typical, solid Garrett Leigh story but with a sporty twist. I know literally nothing about Premiership football, but I enjoyed this story a great deal. The football aspect was very minor, and could have been literally any sport and the story would have been about t......more

Goodreads review by ☆ Todd on November 15, 2018

I liked Dom. I liked Lucky. I liked their banter and snark. I liked their steamy scenes. I liked their tender, heart-felt moments. I liked how they kept finding their way back to one another, again and again. BUT... I didn't really like the feeling of déjà vu that I'd (somehow, somewhere) already read an a......more
