Gatekeeper (Low Blow Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 113 ratings

He’s a player. Everyone knows it. Except Sean isn’t a game to him.

Mateo has been the biggest contender for the Super Lightweight title for over two years. No matter how hard he works, he can’t seem to beat the current champ. Since boxing is all he has in the world, it’s an issue. His confidence is in the can, and his social life is non-existent. Mateo has had no real friends or relationships that have lasted longer than one night in years. That is, until he meets a man whose beautiful heart leaves him mystified.

Rescuing a drunk from the parking lot of his workplace, Slip, isn’t a new thing for Sean. People leave the bar and grill plastered and intent on driving all the time. Usually, Sean calls them a cab and sends them on their way. Mateo is the first one he’s ever taken home. There’s something sad about Mateo. Sean lost all his friends years ago, and he sees a kindred spirit in the sexy boxer. It’s easier than he ever dreams to consider the man his best friend in no time at all. Except he’s not. Mateo is so much more.

It’ll take the purest heart to save a broken man from a hellish life. Unfortunately, when it comes to Mateo and Sean, it’s hard to know who needs rescuing the most.

    I will follow this series to infinity and beyond. These are INCREDIBLE stories about TOUGH, SEXY men that life has kicked around. Mateo finally finds himself and his amazing forever in Sean. They are both afraid but their story is emotional, touching, amazing and unconditional. This is about good and bad family, it's also about forever friendships. Who can resist Remy?! I love the happily ever after with no cliff hanger but I also can't wait until the next book. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THIS AMAZING SERIES!!!!!

    Of course, Mateo and Sean had their struggles, but they were so perfect for each other. I enjoyed the slow burn of their relationship. It was very sweet and intimate. This was a good series with imperfect characters, hurt feelings, a bit of drama and angst, and lots of love. It's nice to have short reads when you don't have a lot of time. Good series.

    Charity Parkerson brings us another great love story. I love how she weaves each story together to create each series which also connect to create this giant mm romance universe. I highly recommend reading each series in order. You never know what character will show up from other series.

    I dont know how Charity does it but every book is better than the last. Her stories are sensual, sexy and erotic but that's not what makes them stand out. Each man is an incredibly complex character and she lets us catch a glimpse of them in other stories and then breaks through our misconceptions in the next book. She builds these great backstory for all her characters itzs impossible not to love her writing .

    This was definitely one of my favorites of the series. This is the story of Sean and Mateo. I just thought that Ms. Parkerson did a great job of redeeming Mateo. He isn't always portrayed in the best light in some of the previous stories. Although this story did not have some of the angst that the other stories had, it was definitely a winner to me. I loved the way that Sean and Mateo's relationship built up and that there was no pretense. What you see is what you get!

    Mateo you are too good to be true. And there might be a tie between you and Sean. I love how you did not push him for anything more than to sleep, really sleep in your bed because you knew he was leary of anything more. Your love story is one of the best I have ever read. CP really knows how to pull those emotional strings. Anxiously awaiting the next love match

    Read this one as soon as I got it on my Kindle.
    I just love Mateo and him and Sean are just perfect together. Both a bit broken inside and doing everything to make the other one happy. They give me warm and fuzzy feelings and I read the whole book straight through.
