My Review
This is my favourite series by Brigham Vaughn and The Home Game giving Matty his HEA was a great read.
All Matty wants is someone to love, someone who loves him, and a family and in The Home Game he gets all he’s ever wanted.
Antoni is struggling to raise his deceased friend’s 4 children by himself, ranging from 6 months to 15 years old he has his hands full and is overwhelmed. He needs to find a new place to live as well as fight religious, homophobic grandparents for custody of the children. Enter his knight in shining armour Matty.
Matty is adorable and I’d love to find someone like him, but since I can’t manage that I’m glad Antoni did. He cares about everyone, often to his detriment, but that doesn’t stop him from stepping in when he can help Antoni with a place to live.
I really loved the friendship that bloomed between Matty and Antoni and the relationships he formed with the four kids. The kids were great characters and I enjoyed getting to know them all, especially Alexa and Eli.
Matty’s teammates and their partners are as supportive as I’d have expected, they are such a great bunch and while they have some concerns they still embrace Antoni and his children into their ‘family’.
It isn’t all smooth sailing, there are gossip sites to contend with, PR and the team coach, rash decisions made for the right reasons and conflict between Matty and his teammate and friend Dom. We get to find out a bit more about Dom, whose story will be the final book in the series.
This was another great read in the Relationship Goals series and I am looking forward to Dom’s book, he deserves his HEA.

Matty Carlson Playing House with Local Schoolteacher?
Toronto Fisher Cats enforcer, Matt Carlson, was recently spotted in the park with a hot mystery man and four children ranging in age from pre-teen to infant.
A close source indicates that the man is prep school English teacher, Antoni Bianchi, who has been spotted with Carlson in public recently.
Following the cozy park outing, Carlson was photographed with his arm around Bianchi as they returned to Carlson’s home, adding fuel to the speculation that the men are dating and, perhaps, living together.
Just friends or is something else heating up their late summer nights?
Since Carlson’s acrimonious divorce five years ago, he has not been romantically linked to anyone but rumors swirled of involvement with a man prior to the split.
Is the enforcer ready to “switch teams” for good?
When asked to comment on her ex’s sexuality, aspiring actress Courtney Quinn stated, “I don’t know why everyone is surprised. It’s not like it’s the first time he’s been with a man.”
Sour grapes from a jilted lover or secrets from his past revealed?
Check the JockGossip blog for all of the latest developments in this intriguing new chapter of Carlson’s life.
