The Defending Goal

For Puck's Sake, Book 8

By: Crea Reitan

Narrated by: Shawn K. Jain, Simon Dornet

Not only the net should be protected.

Felton

I'm a disappointment, a failure, a shit show. Every decision is wrong. None of my accomplishments are good enough. I don't do anything right.

This is what I've been told my entire life.

For more than thirty years, no one knew. What the world sees is a lie. I do a good job of hiding it.

Until I don't.

Ren

Sometimes, all it takes is a single moment to realize you're needed somewhere, and in that moment, your entire life changes. Felton has so many broken pieces that he can barely breathe.

But that's okay. I'm going to show this man what love is. If he doesn't have the capacity to protect himself, I'll do it for him. The abuse ends now.

This is a LGBTQIA+ story with content for mature listeners.

Great story

Love these two i love how he cares so much for his partner and shows him the tlc that is very much needed. Excited for the next book. Highly recommended

The boyfriend of the century

Just when I thought Reitan’s characters couldn’t get any better, along came Ren Ho… the best book boyfriend ever. What a sweetheart!
A wonderful thing about this story was there wasn’t any huge coming out for one of the MCs, it was just a lovely representation of a natural realization. I thought that was really cool.

The only downside of this particular story was that I felt it lacked several hot love scenes.
There were couple of very nice intimate scenes which were given a good amount of detail as I’ve come to love & expect of a Reitan book in this series, I just wanted more, especially given the very start of the book.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to The Defending Goal & cannot wait for more books in this series to hear about the love stories of other characters mentioned.

Awesome story

love this series. its great stories and absolutely perfect narration. this book is a beautiful story with the perfect ending. Some people really shouldn't be parents.

Ehh

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I saw teasers saying this book was MM, but also a gang bang.. so it starts out hot and slows down a lot and focuses heavily on mental health and having someone be there with you to help make decisions through life. It wasn’t my favorite from the series..
