Goal Line (Harrisburg Railers Series Book 6) Kindle Edition
Fear and sadness mark Bryan’s life, can Gatlin show him that you have to trust before you can love?
Gatlin Pearce is creeping up on thirty-eight and is still single. It’s not that he wants to be alone, it’s just that he’s too damn old to be in clubs filled with glittery gay boys who can’t even tell him who the Rolling Stones are. Better to just spend his evenings at Hard Score Ink - his tattoo and artwork shop - creating masterpieces on human flesh, listening to the Railers games, and nursing a cold beer.
His solitary life is about to end when Bryan Delaney, the new Railers backup goalie, shows up at his shop looking for new artwork for his helmet. There’s some sort of sad story in those beautiful eyes of Bryan’s, and Gatlin finds himself more than a little infatuated with the tender new goalie.
Bryan Delaney leaves home at fifteen to live with a billet family. He just wishes that he could have escaped his alcoholic father and strictly devout mother earlier. Drafted to the Arizona Raptors he finds a new family, and his first love affair even if that relationship is marked with violence.
Being traded to the Railers is a shock to the system but the team isn’t like any other he’s ever played on and they truly seem to care about him. It’s only when he meets artist Gatlin, with their shared love of music and hockey, that he realizes how much help he needs to escape the past.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018I can't get enough of this series and all its fantastic characters. This time around, we get to focus on Bryan, the new backup netminder to Stan. Bryan comes into Harrisburg as a very talented but insecure man. From a horrid childhood to a soul-crushing secret relationship with another hockey player, Bryan doesn't believe he's truly talented or worthy of good in his life. He's also been coached on not trusting others, so he has a hard time meshing with his new teammates. Despite his resistance, Stan, Ten, and the other Railers pretty much drag him into their team/family.
Gatlin is the tattoo artist who paints Stan's goalie masks, and Stan brings Bryan to him so that he can do the same for the young goalie. Gatlin and Bryan are immediately attracted to each other, but with Bryan's very obvious issues, along with pain Gatlin has kept buried for years, it's going to take a lot to make this pairing work out.
The building love story between Gatlin and Bryan is very sweet and moving, and it's easy to want these two to make it work together. Meanwhile, we get time with the other characters we've already come to love in the series. And the hockey, as usual, is well-written and exciting. Though there are some series threads left dangling until the next book, the romance between Gatlin and Bryan, and the resolution of their issues, is very satisfying and heartwarming. This is a favorite series of mine, by two authors I always enjoy. I love this story!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023Oh I enjoyed this one. To see Bryan slowly realize how special he is, worthy, was beautiful. So much pain he held from his parents non acceptance to Aarni’s control, he healed himself by accepting the kind words and gestures from his new teammates, new boyfriend, help from his therapist and his loving ‘found’ parents. Gaitlin didn’t think he’d have another chance at love until he met this scared and scarred young man but he opened himself up to what could be.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018Oh boy, what a story. Like all the books in this series, this one takes characters introduced in previous books. And like the others, it pulls you in and keeps you turning the pages. It’s also more intense, with a tragedy that will make you catch your breath.
Goalie Stan takes his new backup to his favorite tattoo artist, Gatlin, to get artwork for his mask. Sparks fly. But Bryan is a damaged and abused soul. But the trade to the Railers allows him to leave the abusive relationship. But can he move on from his past and learn to trust Gatlin? Gatlin has his own past to deal with. And can he be what he knows Bryan needs?
This book is an emotional rollercoaster. You laugh and cry. You feel so sad for what Bryan has gone through. Then rejoice when he sheds Aarni and takes the chance on Gatlin.
You get to catch up a bit with the team. Stan is still awesome and my favorite Railers. But I love them all. I need more of these guys, this series can’t end. The Railers are family!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2018This series just keeps getting better and still the stories include past characters and feel fresh. This probably should not be read as a stand-alone, there would be too much missing back story.
Goal Line is the story of newly traded goalie Bryan and the team's go-to tattoo artist Gatlin. This is a HUGE roller-coaster of emotion read and if you follow my reviews, you know this is exactly what I love. You will smile, laugh, get angry and also cry (have tissues at the ready!). Both Bryan and Gatlin have past issues to overcome, some past issues don't stay in the past.
There is a MAJOR twist in this story that doesn't directly involve the MCs, but will shock you speechless! I'm still processing all that happened and definitely eagerly awaiting the next book.
If you are already a fan of this series, you won't want to miss this. If you haven't yet experienced the Harrisburg Railers, grab book 1 and get started, you won't be disappointed!
***RECOMMENDED***
- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018Lots going on in this one and not enough details about it all, really. This relies a lot on mentioning thing that have happened both in the past and in present without any details which was really frustrating. Then, in normal fashion for this series, it also has unbelievable insta-love instead of investing in telling a whole story and giving the characters a chance to actually know each other before becoming laser focused on their devotion to each other.
Then we get a game changer for one of the past couples that was jarring. I know Hockey is a dangerous game but this seemed like a sensational tragedy and sends the trajectory of the couple away from the game and team and I'm struggling with the idea of that for the series.
I guess we'll see what happens next. If nothing else, it has kept me reading even if I don't have as high expectations as I think these authors can provide
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2021Bryan and Gatlin had a very rocky start and really a whole rocky relationship until Bryan learned to trust not only himself but Gatlin as well. This book was a bit darker than the other books both in character and incidents within the Railers team. The men did get a happily for now which is all we can ask of a good romance book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another solid entry in this series
Watching Bryan become more confident and seeing the relationship between him and Gatlin grow was very enjoyable. Can't wait to read the next book in the series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh. My. Gold.. ..
Such a beautiful and heartwrenching story... I cried. Bryan broke my heart. And the love Gaitlin shows him is so pure and heals himself from his past. He deserves peace and absolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Railers series

5.0 out of 5 stars Muscles, tattoos, and hot men!
I wasn't sure about this book when I bought it because I'm not always keen on stories where sport plays a major part. Boy was I wrong! This was one hot couple but a great story too. I loved every word. Now I've got to go back and read all the earlier books in the series.
