They say first loves never last. Jackie Blue Kalinski was about to show them—whoever they are—that the word never is not in his vocabulary.
From the time Jack Kalinski was a preschooler he had a good sense of who he was and where he wanted to go in life. His childhood was spent drawing beautiful dresses for pretty people, male and female alike. Growing up with two dads who played hockey wasn’t exactly conducive to late night talks about tulle or tailor’s chalk, but he never let that stop his dreams of becoming a fashion designer or expressing the genderqueer heart that beat in his chest. His family’s love and support helped him through some painful losses that shaped him into the strong, vivacious, and charismatic college student he is today. Life hasn’t been a smooth ride, but Jack has persevered and is about to take the fashion world by storm.
Little does he suspect that his tidy life is about to be scorched by a chance meeting with one of the men playing hockey on the gay team his father coaches. Martin McKittrick not only catches Jack’s eye, but the much older man wins his heart. The passionate affair with the captain of the Marine Unit of the BFD burns red hot until the new couple run into a few snags that might dampen the inferno: Jack’s ascent into the fashion world, Martin’s job and the inherent dangers that come with it, and the fact that the well-kept secret romance has just been exposed to the world in a rather big way.
REVIEW
Review by: Jennifer
(4 Stars)
Wow, Jackie Blue gets a book and it is just as special as he is. We have watched Jackie since he was in the womb. Watched as he became the GQ man that he is, with loving parents (all four of them) that didn't push, nag, or belittle; they supported him with every skirt, hairbow, or hockey equipment (although that stage didn't last long). Now in college, Jackie is determined to make his mark in the fashion world. When he goes to a hockey game to show support for the family, the last thing he ever thought he would find was someone that made his heart beat harder and time stand still. Jackie may feel like an old soul but he still makes mistakes that only comes with age, one of those mistakes costs Jackie his chance with Martin. When Martin shows up and is willing to forgive Jackie, the two attempt to get back together but will their families be willing to accept their relationship?
This was such a good story, I loved that we got Jackie's story especially since he was such a big part of Vic and Dan's story. We get drama, danger, overbearing parents, age gap, and some really nice naughty bits. I give this 4 stars.
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.
