Professional football player Hunter Davis is learning that saying he’s gay is very different from actively being in a relationship with another man—especially in the eyes of his teammates and fans. So when Hunter needs a personal assistant to keep him organized, he asks for a woman in order to prevent tongues from wagging.

Montgomery Willis badly needs to find work before he loses everything. There’s just one position at the agency where he applies, but the problem is, he’s not a woman. And he knows nothing about football. Still, Hunter gives him a chance, but only because Monty’s desperate.

Monty soon proves his worth by saving Hunter’s bacon on an important promotional shoot, and Hunter realizes he might have someone special working for him—in more ways than one. Monty’s feelings come to the surface during an outing in the park when Hunter decides to teach Monty a bit about the game, and pictures surface of them in some questionable positions. Hunter is reminded that knowing he’s gay and seeing evidence in the papers are two very different things for the other players, and he might have to choose between two loves: football and Monty.

Excellent finish.

Andrew's stories usually grab me the instant I get in to them, but this one didn't. Not sure if I was just comparing it to similar stories (Santino Hassell's "Illegal Contact" did come to mind a few times) or if I just wasn't feeling the theme. It was still 3-4🌟 material, in my opinion, but the last quarter of the book really brings it in for a win. What happens is relatable on many levels; causing me to understand & empathize with both sides while totally rooting for Hunter & Monty. Hunter's dilemma is all too realistic. Companies want to sexualize him for profit yet expect him to live a sexless life so that the sports world can overlook the fact that he's gay so long as he doesn't act on it. That's not fair to anyone & there are several good points about the hypocrisy that keeps many athletes in the closet. There are athletes out there guilty of drugging, abuse, rape, assault, theft, domestic abuse & animal cruelty that play on with the support of fans & their team like the crimes are no big deal. But a male player having a relationship with another man? That's too much? B* please. By the end I was ready to fight for Hunter & Monty for real.

I enjoy this author and The Playmaker didn't disappoint. Reminded of a Hallmark tv movie I had seen . Characters endearing, story well told and easy to follow.

Really loved this story about a sweet (awesome) gay pro football player who needs, and hires, an assistant who is an adorable, non-athletically-inclined dynamo 😎😎😎
Really love Hunter and Monty - would love to spend time with them!
....and....plenty of heat 😎

The story is ok although it did feel a bit rushed (no spoilers). The big drama also felt a bit forced. If you’re looking for a quick read to cleanse the palate, this book is perfect for the occasion. 3.0 for cool sisters.

Victory by a Field Goal

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2016

This one's a bit unusual for Andrew Grey, but he gets all the details right--except I think maybe the cover artist missed something because if I recall correctly somewhere along the line wide receiver Hunter Davis admired the golden locks of Monty--and that's not what the cover says.

Actually, if you look at the cover, which is a bit stylized, you will see that these two are seriously not meant for each other. And that becomes apparent rather early on when their personalities and their individual approaches to everyday life are put before us--oil and water. Still, this is Andrew Grey and you have to suspect he's got something up his sleeve, and he does--but it's sweet and logical and somewhat angst-free all the way.

Check that: except for what seems to be the obligatory father of the football star (or alpha male) stereotype that is slipping into a lot of MM books these days. This one is a congenital idiot and he turns out to be the catalyst for the angst that does develop---but like all catalysts eventually sinks to the bottom of the test tube.

In the end, this is a sweet ride into fantasy based on potential reality, and with Andrew Grey parting the waters it all works out nicely.

Another riveting story.

This is another riveting story in Andrew Grey's remarkable lexicon of works. The characters are thoughtfully fleshed out and believable. There is humor, angst and interesting dialogue between the main characters and secondary players.
Through trial and error, good choices and bad, Hunter and Monty discover the play that wins them the game...their very own HEA.

The Playmaker grabbed me from the first page and by the time Monty walked into Hunter's house I was fully invested in the story. I loved these guys and their chemistry was sizzling, but it was their journey that kept me riveted. I read this book in one sitting and loved it.

Really funny and entertaining, I enjoyed the story, the way the characters start befriending each other, and how they start capturing each other's attention is really sweet. The sex is not bad either.
