Secrets, pain, anguish, rejection, bad habits, anger, fear... Man. As good as the ending is, I feel like I need to walk this one off. Whew. (  ) terriaminute | Dec 4, 2022 |  ) Bookbee1 | Aug 17, 2022 | Loved it! "The man shrugged out of his leather bomber jacket. The label inside caught my attention and I tried not to cringe. He’d paid more for his coat than he had for me. What did that say about either of us? That I was desperate and he was a kinky bastard? Or maybe he was the desperate one and I was just a whore.

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.

This is an intense relationship novel, not much let up, and done with skill by Leigh Garrett. Grindell's breathy push-pull reading style adds to this.
The tremendous discrepancy between the wealthy footballer, and the homeless apprentice adds a lot of tension.
Dom lives in loneliness and fear of being outed from the closet. Lucky's fears are more primal - not enough food, or none - and very poor quality lodgings.
It's remarkable how the rich don't have insight, even when it is obvious, into the life of those on the other side of the fence. Also, how buried we get in our own misery - no matter whether it's justified. Our own misery fills the screen and it's real. Both MCs are miserable, weighed down by life circumstances.
Once I would have given this 4 stars without hesitation, on the back of the skilful build in intensity, but I'm more critical these days, more impatient? for a quality product. I need something that's going to give me a hit of something - a special element that I haven't come across before - that's a little transcendent. This almost did. (
