Publisher's summary
In the closet...
Career-focused Jason Tant has given up on love to play football at the highest level: His team is in the Premiership, and Jason also plays for the English national team (even though his mother is Spanish). He doesn’t want to be the poster boy for LGBT people in sport - and his advisors have told him that coming out will ruin his career. It’s not an issue until Scott captures Jason’s heart and turns his world around.
Out and proud...
With a carefree, live-for-today attitude, Scott Cole was never in the closet. Funny, clever, and a terrific dancer, the science student has many talent, but the man he loves requires something else - discretion. They seem an unlikely couple, but neither can resist the chemistry that draws them together.
Under scrutiny...
Prying paparazzi are everywhere, determined to out gay footballers. Scott questions whether he and Jason need to keep their love a secret when professional British sportsmen in other fields are coming out. Will Jason have to choose between love and his career? Or will the tabloids destroy them both?
An MM romance novel with a happy ever after. The story spans 2012-2015. Set in England where fans would die for their football team and football is not called soccer. It is 51,000 words.
The book was inspired by the news story in October 2015 that British gay footballers are preparing to come out in public. As of January 2017, no professional players at the top level in European football have come out. The rumors persist, and there have been discussions at the highest levels, including inside Parliament.
The story is set in England but uses American pronunciation for the benefit of international listeners.
This book was published in May 2016.
The characters also appear in My Goal (published September 2016).

Asher Henderson. Captain of the Highnam Academy football team, and the bane of my existence. As Alstone High’s team captain, I’ve been pitted against him from the beginning, but our conflict isn’t only reserved for the pitch. Everyone knows we’re enemies. From our first encounter, our rivalry has been escalating, spiraling out of control. Until one night when everything between us changed. He pushed me too far, and we crossed a line that should never have been crossed. Now, I can’t get him out of my head.

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break. So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist. The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT”. The bet: corruption in any way I choose. It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.

This sexy athlete is too hard to resist, especially when he makes it clear how much he wants the “sarcastic, witty, hot AF” guy behind the bar—also known as me.

Ever hear the story about the bodyguard who falls for the rock star? Yeah, it never ends well. Each day I remind myself that it's my job to protect Stone. And nowhere in the job description does it say I should lust after the charismatic, charming man. Especially since we're opposites. But every night I spend with him the dangerous, off-limits attraction grows more intense. Until one night in a limo when we combust.

In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a lifelong penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send 10 drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake. If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman. I also used the phrase “super hot wingman”, so I’d like to die now.

One moment of madness ended it all. A flare of temper, a thrown punch, and Jay Ruttman’s dream of being a footballer evaporated. Thrown out of the Pro Academy, Jay falls back to Plan B. University. At least he got accepted on the sports scholarship. It might keep his dreams alive. Now he has a new plan: head down. Train hard. Get scouted. That plan does not include falling for a rock musician - last thing he needs is a posh muso stirring up those well-hidden preferences that could end Jay’s career before it can even begin.

This year is my last chance to take the Titans to victory. I cost us the cup last year, but I'm not making the same mistake again. And I'm determined to get drafted by the end of this season. The success I anticipate is built on three years of razor-sharp focus and hard-earned respect. Not to mention how much of my personal life I sacrificed for hockey. The Titans trust me to lead them and I won't betray that. Nothing could possibly go wrong. Until the former love of my life and current arch nemesis, Cameron Martinez, skates back into my life.

Ever since we met two years ago, Eden Burkehammer has made everything better. The big defenseman sets me at ease. He’s a beast on the ice—brutal and physical—but when it’s the two of us, he turns to me with these unexpectedly soft brown eyes. This gravelly laugh that makes my whole body smile. And yeah, I might have thrown a glance his way a time or two in the steamed-up locker room showers—you know, just curious. But he’s my best friend. My teammate. Roommate. I don’t want to mess with that. Just the thought of losing him sends a cold zap the full length of my spine.

Story
Julia hasn't had sex in three years. Her roommate has a boyfriend - and their sex noises are audible through the walls, maybe even throughout the neighborhood. Not to mention, she's treading water in a dead-end job, her know-it-all therapist gives her advice she doesn't ask for, and the men she is surrounded by are, to be polite, subpar.

enjoyed it
Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes
What did I like about the story? great sports romance, good pace and likeable well developed characters. An interesting story dealing with the problem of homophobia in sports and the double life some of the top athletes have to lead.
My heart breaks for Jason (closeted footballer) and Scott (an out and proud gay man). Throughout this entire book, I wanted Jason to step up and be the change the world needs. Scott is such a likeable character and to see their romance evolve over time was great, but for him to spend 4 years hiding he's in a relationship is heartbreaking.
[extract:]
Scott: "Jason, are you out?"
Jason: "I'm not out at work" Jason replied, somewhat relieved to at least get this out in the open.
Scott: "And when you go to that nightclub where I've seen you, your at work?"
Jason: "I'm not at work, but yes, those are work colleagues and none of them know. A lot of people know me and they don't know i'm gay. I don't know how they'd react."
Scott: "Outside of work you're out?"
Jason: "I'm so famous and work is all the hours, there is no outside of work."
As a celebrity, there was no outside of work except in a very limited sense of the word.
I enjoyed Piers Ryman's narration and think he has done a good job narrating Home Goal. His British accent suits the story I had no problem distinguishing characters or feeling the emotions of the story, however I would have liked more distinction between the characters voices.

Needed more...
There were a few plot holes that could use filling, it almost seemed rushed. It was hard to connect with the characters because I never really felt the emotion. The narrator was good, however could’ve used some more distinction between characters. Overall I liked the story and it was an enjoyable listen but just wish I felt more.

mind reader needed
I could have kicked Jason for lollygagging and not telling Scott his plans after 3 years together!!
Poir communication could have cost them their happiness forever. It was soul crushing to heat all the homopobia, and I can't imagine how ut had to feel to actually live it. The ending was great with the help of Liz and Mark. I'd love the next book to see who's brave enough to come out against the tides. Great book. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Sweet and good story with an important topic.
It is an important topic about gay football players still hiding in the closet.
The story is sweet and beautiful but I can’t really feel the trubble they have. There are some sudden jumps in time, where thing seems to get complicated and the story moves on to what happens after. So the angst and struggle that obviously is there don’t reach in to me.
So this is an easy going love story between two men who have some smaller issues on the way.
The narrator is easy to follow and does a good job.

soccer romance
it was a kind of typical soccer romance at the start with a semi-closeted MC and an out and proud MC. I kind of didn't like Scott too much. I felt as if he just kept on taking and what he did get he didn't like and didn't think was enough. I especially started hating him when he started flirting with someone else because Jason wasn't all out and he was pretty close to cheating since he didn't know how far he would have gone with said guy. i felt Jason made a lot of concessions in regards to his lifestyle and coming out and I felt Scott wanted him to give up his career so Scott could be happy but didn't really give Jason anything. it felt like a one sided relationship with Jasin giving and giving until he only had his career. jason had come out to everyone but the media and public. I do understand Scott's side but he moved so much quicker than Jason. I felt he could have been more understanding. I wanted scott to suffer for making Jason suffer. but am glad their ending ended well.
the narration was a bit weird to me. the accent was pretty strong and it takes some listening to get use to. the cadence was good and it was easy to differentiate between charcters.
a free copy of this audio was provided to me by the author.

Great listen.
This is such a great listen. Scott and Jason's story is such a great sport romance. Now I did have to get use to some of the words just because I am American. However I was really pulled into their story. Then Piers Ryman did such a great job in bring this story to life. I like how he did all the characters voices.

Being gay and an athlete is hard
This is a story that I did not know that I needed. I do not know anything about [author:H.J. Perry|14931934] aside from the fact she writes M/M romance. When I first started this book, I thought one of the main characters that is a footballer, Jason, was not going to admit that he is gay; I was wrong. He did admit and know he is gay however he refuses to let the world know that he is gay. His partner, Scott, who is openly gay did not have the same issue.
I loved this story and it makes me understand more about how professional athletes feel about coming out in this day an age. There are people out there that look at people who are different than they are and hate them for it.
In the beginning I was sympathetic to Jason however after the story progressed it just seemed as though Jason really felt that what he felt was all that mattered. I do understand that he did not mean to feel this way however Scott was just casted aside.
Throughout this entire story I wanted Jason to be brave enough to let not only ALL his teammates know he is gay and in a long-term relationship, but I wanted him to tell the world. I felt on edge for Scott throughout the entire story because he loved Jason and spent almost 4 years with him in hiding. Having to hide your partner must not feel good at all.
The way it ended had me a bit confused. I did not know if it was because it was sort of a cliffhanger or if it was because the book was complete. I do not know… It just feels like there could be more, but I am satisfied with the ending.
Piers Ryman is new to me. I had no idea who he was, but he narrated this book well. I can see myself listening to something else that he narrated.

Living your life
Jason and Scott aren't prepared for the life they have to live. Sports and gay don't always go smoothly.
Good book, hope to heat more from this author.

Athletic sexy times!
Overall I really enjoyed this. It took a little getting used to, I’m American so some of the terms used at the start I had to ‘translate’ but I quickly was able to flow into it. Sometimes I felt like slapping one or both of the MCs, but that shows how character building this was. Watch out: close to the end *spoilers* *spoilers!!* one MC gets way too close to cheating. There is a point to it, but I wasn’t expecting it. I managed to push through that part and came out with a HEA
