The Endgame

By: Riley Hart

Narrated by: Iggy Toma

Weston

When I left home, I swore I'd never hide anything about myself again. From college, to law school, to the United States Senate representing California, I've done it all as an out gay man. So, when I'm in DC and see a beautiful guy at the hotel bar, I don't hesitate to proposition him...right before he runs out on me, leaving his sunglasses behind like my very own Cinderfella.

Anson

I've always known I'm gay, but never acted on it. Pretending isn't easy, but it means I can keep playing football. No one has ever guessed my secret until the gorgeous man at a bar in DC. At least he doesn't know who I am - the best tight end in the NFL, playing for the Atlanta Lightning. Though my identity doesn't stay a secret from him for long.

Between texts and late-night phone calls, we get to know each other. West's the only person who knows all the parts of me, just like I know his. When he asks for one night together so he can show me what it's like to be with a man, I can't say no. But once isn't enough, and we keep sneaking around together - brief encounters, in California, Georgia, or DC, filled with passionate touches and whispered truths.

I never thought I'd have love. West never thought he'd want it. Now we're all in with each other, but he still has time left in his Senate term. I have contract obligations to fulfill, and I'm closeted. We don't even live in the same state. The odds are stacked against us, but if there's one thing I know, it's how to win. He's the endgame in the biggest challenge of my life, the one I'm banking my future happiness on.

This book ripped me

This was probably the best of the year for me. When the audio came out I couldn't wait. Iggy Toma did an amazing job with this emotionally-wrenching story. Riley Hart always writes amazing characters but this one has to be in her top 5 of all time. I just don't see how she tops this.

that voice

the story was great but the narrators voice was too annoying that I couldn't stay to the story

Life can be beautiful, luck helps too.

T he Endgame captures the spirit of 1950's melodramas with their overwrought emotions, and casts of beautiful people overcoming adversity as they search for love and validation.
Be that as it may I loved this story and was totality caught up in the emotions and characters depicted and was often moved by the tenderness of particular scans.
If this is your cup of tea I highly recommend THE ENDGAME.

End Game is worth all the touch downs

Riley Hart has done it again in my opinion, another love story full of good well developed characters with their own issues to face, and a good dose of love and want mixed in to make the story move along where you want the characters to get their happy ending and find resolution to their own personal experience and issues.

Nailed it!

What a great story of love conquers all. Riley hart did it again. Swooon . I laughed cried and cheered . 5 stars
