Sometimes the last thing you expect to happen might turn out to be what you needed all along.
Roman Kennedy’s first trip to the Windy City isn’t going quite as planned. Mysteries intrigue him, and his best friend Dillon seems to be sitting on a whopper. So, with his grandfather’s favorite hat on his head and his notebook in hand, the journalism major starts digging. Sadly, getting his bestie to spill the beans on what the secret is isn’t as easy as Roman had hoped.
Now, through no fault of his own, he’s stuck in an expensive hotel attending a bachelor auction of all things. He’s surrounded by lumbering jocks who, he’s sure, are just waiting for the chance to poke fun at the skinny, gay Jewish guy. Imagine his surprise when one of the big lugs sits down with him and talks Bernstein and Woodward.
Layne Coleman is sexy as sin, smart as a whip, considerably older, and has the same passion for investigative journalism as Roman does. His deep blue eyes and dark hair make concentrating on anything but the soft kisses they’re now sharing difficult. Roman’s keen instincts are understandably clouded by romance, so when Dillon reveals his secret in a highly public way, it’s hard to say who is more stunned—Roman or Layne, the man at the center of it all.
REVIEW
Review by: Jennifer
(3.5 Stars)
When college student Roman goes on bit of a road trip with his best friend Dillion, all he knows is that Dillion has a secret and he is along for the ride and hopefully will figure out what's going on. When they get to their destination there just happens to be a bachelor auction with loads of huge hockey players. When Roman meets Layne, one of the older hockey players, sparks ignite and the two end up spending a bit of time together. But when everything is over and Roman ends up with an achy heart, an angry best friend, and no clue as to what to do with the situation that he found himself in. Can Roman figure out a way to make everyone happy, himself included?
So, this was ok for me, super fast paced, and I was really digging it until about 50% when the big reveal happened. After that, I was just annoyed. There was loads of drama, age gap romance, hockey, best friend being a d-bag... and loads more that I wont spoil. I give this 3.5 stars.
USA Today Bestselling Author V.L. Locey – Penning LGBT hockey romance that skates into sinful pleasures.
V.L. Locey loves worn jeans, yoga, belly laughs, walking, reading and writing lusty tales, Greek mythology, Torchwood and Dr. Who, the New York Rangers, comic books, and coffee. (Not necessarily in that order.) She shares her life with her husband, her daughter, one dog, two cats, a pair of geese, far too many chickens, and two steers.
When not writing spicy romances, she enjoys spending her day with her menagerie in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania with a cup of fresh java in one hand and a steamy romance novel in the other.
