Sander March is one season away from the pros, or so everyone tells him.
If only Sander had as much faith in his ability as the Cougar coaching staff does. Outwardly, he’s cocksure, borderline bitter, and slightly sarcastic. All that strut and sass hides a wounded soul though. Working to hide a brutal past filled with humiliation, abuse, and a family member who still haunts him, Sander has never found the kind of comfort and understanding he so desperately needs. Until he meets Mateo Castillo, a minor league baseball player for the nearby Elmira Egrets. Mateo and Sander click instantly, and a budding friendship develops between the two athletes.
Mateo then introduces Sander to his boyfriend, Noah Coombs, an aspiring manga comic creator. The three men find themselves bonding strongly, and that slowly gives way to sexual attraction. Eventually, Mateo and Noah invite Sander into their relationship. The path to happiness isn’t going to be easy for Sander as he faces criticism from his friends, teammates, and the press for his choices. The brash young star can handle all that, it’s when his abuser shows up in Cayuga that Sander fears not only for his own safety, but for the lives of the two men he has grown to love. Will Sander’s past tear him away from Mateo and Noah, or will he be able to leave the darkness behind?

V.L. Locey loves worn jeans, yoga, belly laughs, Dr. Who, Torchwood, walking, reading and writing lusty tales, Greek mythology, 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, two Jersey steers and a flock of assorted domestic fowl.
When not writing lusty tales, she can be found enjoying her day with her menagerie in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania with a cup of fresh java in hand.

Overtime contains scenes of domestic abuse. If this is a trigger for you, as awesome as this book is, please don't read it.
I am not into books with a polyamorous theme, but considering how much I like the Cayuga Cougars series (as well as the Harrisburg Railers series that V. L. Locy co-authors with RJ Scott), I have it a read. I was not disappointed. In fact, it was these two series that got me interested in Ice Hockey.
When Sander March was first introduced in Coach's Challenge (Cayuga Cougars book 3). I didn't like him. I thought he was kind of a self-important person. The more I read about Sander, the more I find out it's all a cover.
It's a really well-written story with well-developed characters. The only thing I can suggest to the characters is that will someone PLEASE tell Victor Kalinski to pull the stick out of his ass?
It's definitely a page-turner and can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the four books in sequence to get a fuller reading experience.
5 out of 5 stars!
What's gonna happen in Cayuga Cougars #5?
