Review

I think we’ve collectively been excited to get Asa’s story. Head coach and defender of LGBT people in football - you had to know it was going to be good.

Seven years ago, best friends Asa and Scott stopped talking. They’ve both been miserable since. And I’m miserable right alongside them. Honestly, my heart broke and continued to break when Scott returned. For both of them. Scott may have left, but he broke his own heart in the process.

I’m still a little annoyed with Asa’s son Beau. He knew something had happened, and still he forced Asa and Scott together. It was clear Asa was tortured by the idea of Scott coming to work there, and yet he bullied him into it anyway.

The tension! So much tension! Hurt, love, sexual tension - it was all there in spades.

I’ve never cheered so much for two guys to find a way.

And of course, narrator Darcy Stark does a wonderful job of capturing these two and bringing them to life.

Synopsis

Coach Asa Dawson has fallen wildly in love only twice in his life.

First with football.

Then with Scott Callaway.

But Scott isn’t just the one who got away.

He’s the one person—the one man—Asa hoped might finally show him how all-consuming passion could be.

Instead, fate (and football) intervened and they never got the chance to explore their attraction. Their friendship ended in ruins, Scott left, and Asa’s been torn between hating him and loving him for the last seven years.

Asa doesn’t think he’ll ever see him again, but when his bad habits catch up to him and he doesn’t have a choice but to accept help, he’s horrified—and exhilarated—to learn Scott’s been hired to assist him.

With the final stretch of the Piranhas season on them, maybe what Asa and Scott have needed this whole time was a little holiday magic to remind them the most important job isn’t to win the season—but to finally win each other’s hearts.
