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.

"I 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!"

Goal Line Harrisburg Railers Volume 6 RJ Scott VL Locey 9781722015862 Books Reviews
- I waited a week after reading this book before writing a review to make sure that my first reaction to it was the most enduring. It was. Sigh. I’ve enjoyed this series a lot, but this book just didn’t work for me, especially as the last full-length book. What it did do was set up the next series. What it didn’t do was tell Bryan and Gatlin’s story.
This book started with a lot of promise. Bryan, newly traded from the Raptors to the Railers, was still under the heavy influence of a former teammate whom he considered his boyfriend but who was, without a doubt, a stain on humanity. The guy was every possible abusive trope rolled into one. But Bryan felt disloyal if he didn’t agree with him, even with plenty of evidence to the contrary. My stomach roiled every time Bryan was verbally abused, talked down to, or ignored. I felt sick when Bryan’s low self esteem prevented him from even attempting to enjoy his new life as a Railer. In short, I was sucked into Bryan’s story completely. And there was Gatlin, who was the perfect rescuer character. I loved him, even when he was letting Bryan’s rudeness slide a bit too easily. He had such a big heart, and accepted Bryan, troubles and all. And great taste in music.
So I thought that we’d get a slow unfurling of their relationship. An organic knitting together of Bryan’s psyche, as he learned about his new team and what he could bring to it, and about what a real romantic relationship, between two loving and caring men, could be like. I figured there would be pitfalls along the way, arguments and misunderstandings, culminating in confessions of love and foreverness. You know. What the blurb implied.
But then something completely outside their relationship happened, and while I agree it had to do with Bryan at some level, it totally derailed the story for me. It was no longer just Bryan and Gatlin navigating a new relationship. It was this big thing that is going to be a part of a spin-off series. Why didn’t the authors give Bryan his own book, instead of making him share it with the big happening? That incident could have easily been made into a separate novella, devoting the final book of the Harrisburg Railers series to Bryan and Gatlin. Instead, these two wonderful characters were forced to take a back seat to the other goings-on in their own book, and Bryan’s journey of discovery and healing was rushed to the point of being unrealistic. Such a disappointment. - Bryan is the young, new backup goalie for the Harrisburg Railers. With his trade he gets away from an abusive relationship. Although he wasn't with him, Aarni still had a huge influence on his life and his mental state. The sad thing is that he didn't realize it was so toxic. Unsure of his new team, mind full of garbage spewed by his boyfriend. He didn't get what he expected from the Railers. What he did get was a welcoming, accepting environment he could excel in.
Gatlin is a tattoo artist. He is responsible for most of the Railers ink. The first time he saw Bryan he was shaken by the feelings he had for the kid. He wasn't alone. Bryan knew he couldn't have anything with Gatlin because of his boyfriend. After a confrontation with Aarni, Bryan finally breaks free. He knows Gatlin is what he wants and he gives in to his feelings.
I have truly enjoyed the Railers series. I think each book has gotten better. Gatlin and Bryan are such a good couple. Their interactions felt genuine and they may be my favorite overall. I loved the connection with the rest of the team (especially Stan), they are all memorable. All that said, I was surprised at the turn this story took. Quite a bold move on the authors parts. I'm sad that this may be the last of the Railers stories. - I 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.

Despite his resistance, Stan, Ten, and the other Railers pretty much drag him into their team/family.

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! - Oh 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!
