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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Victory by a Field Goal *by B***O 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved Monty and Loved Hunter! *by D***3 on January 5, 2017* bookshelves: fav-authors, m-m, made-me-think, made-me-angry, made-me-smile, mc-to-love, sports, want-moreRead from December 01 to 02, 2016I have a weakness for sports stories with LGBTQ MCs. There is so much added pressure because of our stupid prejudices. That always adds to the emotions of the story. Andrew Gray is one of my favorite authors. He is excellent at his craft and always touches my heart.Monty is a fantastic character. He is confident in who he is. I loved him. Hunter is out but not by choice. He has other secrets that contribute to his lack of time management and his dull wardrobe. Monty to the rescue. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/45144391-the-playmaker](https://www.desertcart.at/products/45144391-the-playmaker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
