A story of first love. A gay friends-to-lovers romance between two closeted soccer players.

He’s cocky, he’s arrogant, he’s entitled to his big ego. He an International footballer and a multimillionaire. Carlos Garcia’s a huge success on and off the pitch, and he’s got it all. Joining a new football club, he wants his teammates to like him, especially the one man who sets his pulse racing.

As the quietest guy on the football team, Harry Carter avoids attention. He’s so scared of people finding out he’s gay that he’s made sure there are just clothes in his closet. He has nothing to hide, there’s no history, no past, no secret boyfriend, not even a one-night stand. Ever.

Things are changing. Outside of work, Harry’s best friends are a discreet gay couple, but how is Harry going to keep all the secrets when the new guy on the football team keeps hanging around?
Why exactly does Carlos sit next to Harry at every opportunity?
A standalone story with a happy ever after ending and no cliffhanger.

A secret wedding
Workplace romance
Millionaire sportsmen
A bisexual man who meets his dream man
Two hot guys in love

Not great

ByNon-stop Readeron April 6, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book tried to do too much. Huge chunks of time and important events were skipped over, seemingly because it was to difficult for the author. The homophobia of football/ soccer was a point beat to death. I get it, for goodness' sake. I'm not oblivious.

Great story!!

ByValerie Ullmeron October 5, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

While their romance started slow, I have to stay that I enjoyed the development of Carlos and Harry's relationship, starting out as friends and moving on to both of them falling in love. The story was sweet and sexy and I loved both of the characters. Harry was raised to believe that being gay is wrong, while Carlos, who had encounters with mostly women, realizes that he's bisexual, but only because he's fallen for Harry.

Lack of editing hurts a good story and message

ByJJon October 13, 2016

Format: Kindle Edition

I'm giving this a 3 because I did enjoy the love story and how it evolved, because of the realistic view of anti-gay sentiment, and because of Ms. Perry's letter to readers at the end. Her letter to us was insightful about the LGBT plight, especially in football, and it was written well - much better than the book.

My issue is with the writing and editing. During the first part of the book, I was confused most of the time about what was happening. It seemed chunky and jumped around. For example, one scene had their teammates talking about how Gareth's girlfriend had left him for a woman. Then there were two paragraphs about how Harry and Carlos traveled to and from the club together every day, and that they would usually eat together. Then it immediately jumped back to Gareth and his girlfriend.

The grammar and typos and ongoing misplaced commas were very annoying and slowed me down in reading and enjoying. Some examples:

"You can you can tell your mom."
"It was just gone midnight, but I didn't stay out late."
"..single-storey home"
"...he wondered how quickly they plan a wedding in Spain."
"...opportunity to breath, ..."
"He'd got closer and closer to Harry"
"...they'll be lots of times in the future sleeping" (instead of "there'll be")
"... get's cold..." The word "get's" was used twice in the book, so I assume it's not a typo. With the apostrophe, she's saying "it's get is cold."

One line, however, gave me a moment of pause as I enjoyed her creativity in saying, "A thin veneer of heterosexuality had to be reapplied at regular intervals." I LOVE it! This is the kind of creativity that makes me sit back for a moment and just enjoy the words.

Pleasurable sweet love story

ByMaryon September 29, 2016

Format: Kindle Edition

* copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review *

This is a really good story.
It is a standalone but it is connected to "Home goal" and it is easier to have a full view on the whole situation when You read both books.

This is a love story between two football players, one bisexual and the other deeply closeted. They are total opposites - Carlos is loud, confident and always tries to attract attention, while Harry is a quiet, insecure, shy, virgin who seems more than just slightly paranoid about others finding out he's gay. In the same time they are both fit, sexy and a little bit lonely. It is predictable that they fall for each other but the long way to getting there is interesting and the whole story is really nice.

It is a pleasurable read with interesting and likable characters. There is everything You might want to find in a romance book - sweet love, hot sex, sexy MCs. I appreciate the fact that it was a slow burn and they became friends first.

I really, really like HJ Perry's books with football players and it is a shame she doesn't plan on writing more of them.

I loved Carlos and Harry.

ByButtonsMom2003on September 27, 2016

Format: Kindle Edition

H J Perry’s writing keeps getting better and better. My Goal was a book that really touched me. I especially loved the Dear Reader note at the end of the book where Ms. Perry explains in more detail some of the things behind the story. My Goal is connected to her earlier book, Home Goal, but stands alone with no problem at all.

I really don’t know much about sports, especially Football (known as Soccer in the U.S.), but that doesn’t matter because this story is really about a relationship and not so much about the sport other than how Gay players are treated. My Goal takes place in 2012-13 with an epilogue set in 2022. This was a compelling story about two men who fall in love with each other but can’t be open about it because of their jobs.

When Carlos is transferred to the team that Harry is on, Harry is terrified that Carlos will remember an encounter they had in their late teens. He avoids Carlos so that he doesn’t have to look him in the eye or talk with him.

Carlos finds Harry enchanting and he manages to worm his way into Harry’s life. Since they live in the same building it wasn’t too difficult to do. Carlos has dated women before but he’s also been attracted to men and he wants Harry.

Carlos and Harry could hardly be more different. Harry prefers to stay in the background while Carlos doesn’t mind being in the spotlight. Carlos chases Harry until he finally catches him. Then the two have to decide how they are going to handle their public and private lives.

I loved everything about this book. Carlos is very considerate of Harry’s feelings but Harry still has trouble understanding what Carlos sees in him. Ms. Perry’s treatment of the subject matter was perfect. Her descriptions of what Harry and Carlos go through were compelling; once I started reading this story I couldn’t put it down.

My Goal is a very romantic and touching story and I’m so glad that I read it. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.

Not A Bad Read

ByAnother Amazon Readeron October 17, 2016

Format: Kindle Edition

It is a straightforward story the focus on the relationship between the main characters. It represents their different perspectives well. But there is almost no discussion of soccer as game or industry. There were some weak transitions and simplistic resolutions to problems. But the story moves forward at quick pace and has the ever popular Happy Ever After ending.
