Publisher's summary

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

Unique sports story!

A football player and a senator, that is a new storyline for me! I enjoyed listening to this audio and the characters were awesome.

Audible hopes you enjoyed this program, YES I DID!

"Audible hopes you enjoyed this program..." WHY YES, YES I DID! VERY MUCH SO!

Yes, I loved this audiobook and didn't want it to end! I was so I love with the two MCs, the story, and most of all, the LOVE! Iggy Toma did a fantastic job narrating this audiobook and I will rate it among my all time top ten!!

Beautiful

I loved everything about this story. I couldn't put it down. The story was wholesome and the narrator did an amazing job.

Solid, heartfelt, well paced romance.

Adults, damaged in their own realistic way, slowly opening up to each other and to their forever relationship. A closeted jock, with realistic fears of losing the life and family he fought so hard for and the out-and-proud gay senator, who uses humor as a shield against being vulnerable.

Well paced, realistic dialog. A bit Pollyanna at the end, but a decent happily ever after.

By far one of the best MM romances I've read in ages

This was the perfect audiobook. Fantastic MCs, great humor, moving love story and lots and lots of hot sex - all with an absolute stellar narration. One of my new favorites!
