After injury forces Brendan Gateman to stop playing pro football, he falls back on his physical education and teaching degrees and begins coaching high school ball. Settling in a new town and hanging with his defensive coordinator, Dan Roper, Brendan finally feels like his life is back on track. His only regret is that the fear of losing not only his new life but also his family forces him to remain deep in the closet. Still, he has two of the three things people always want out of life, and that’s enough for him. At least, that’s what he thinks until he meets paramedic Randy Coughlan. The out and proud man makes Brendan start rethinking his choices. When problems in Randy’s life force the man to make some tough choices, will Brendan’s insecurities make him walk away? Or will he step up and become the man he never thought possible but always wanted to be?

Review: I have always loved Charlie’s books and this was definitely a pleasure to read. In all my life I have come across those who have told their families that they were gay, some were disowned, and some were lucky. It saddens me to hear about those who say they love their children but when they are told about their sexual orientation that love is thrown out the window. I was so pleased about the exact opposite in this book.
Brendan is a coach at the local high school and even though he was gay, he never came out never had relations with any men. He is very caring and tender but comes off as an alpha if you ever met him. Randy is a paramedic and is very out at work, to his family and friends. He is just as adorable and loving with just a bit of mischief it would seem. Even with Brendan’s insecurities, he wants to make a go of a relationship with Randy. He wants it all. The sex is very sweet, caring and so dang loving you just want to blush with the feelings. I absolutely loved this story. It was told with such a way that you would think you are there with them going through it all. You would cheer them on with each step they take to making a life as a family.
This story comes off so true and real, because not only there are men that go through it all around you but also because of the way, it is told. I cannot wait to read it again and I do hope that there will be more about this couple in other books.
