Can the love they once shared be saved or has the pain of the past eclipsed it?

It’s been twenty years since Kye McLeod left the quaint little mountain town of Spruce Lake, Maine to play professional hockey. He’s had his share of ups and downs, but his choice to hit the big city and not look back has paid off handsomely. The future hall-of-famer is now ready to retire and come out of that dark closet he’s been sequestered in since his first secretive kiss with Davy Aguirre in high school. Now that he’s heading home to keep an eye on his feisty grandfather, there might be the chance to rekindle the flame between him and Davy.

Kye quickly learns that the boy he left behind isn’t the man he’s now knocking heads with. He always imagined grown-up Davy—who now insists on being called David—would be beyond the pain that Kye’s youthful blunder caused him, but now he’s not so sure. When the wildlife conservation officer squares off with the ex-hockey captain their connection is incendiary, and there are more than just fireworks. However, winning back the man he walked away from may not be as easy as he thought…

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.

This book didn't grab me like the others in the Colors of Love series. Don't get me wrong. It is a good book with a good story line. I just couldn't identify with either of the main characters. They didn't seem real to me, which is unusual for a V.L. Locey book.

Kye's expectation of having Davy jump into his arms after 20 years of no contact whatsoever is unrealistic. Over-inflated ego and not taking anything serious can do that to a person. He does grow on you eventually.

I really love Grandpa Dunny and and Samson the goose. They're great characters.

Overall I give Slow Dances Under An Orange Moon 4½ stars. It's a good read and I do recommend it.

Series review: Blue Boys Boxed Set by Garrett Leigh

Buy Links: Amazon US | Amazon UK | Universal Link

Cover Design: Black Jazz Design

Roses are red, Valentines are…BLUE!

Three steamy bestselling novellas set within the Blue Boy world. All three novellas are set in and around the Los Angeles based Blue Boy Studio, an adult film company with a difference.

BOOK 1 – Bullet: Levi is a power top with an alcoholic mother, and a chip on his shoulder. Sonny’s a dancer with attitude and the biggest heart. Their scene together is just another day at work until Levi realises he’s falling hard for the twink he used to hate. Enemies to lovers is inevitable.

BOOK 2 – Bones: Skater boy Cam is a veteran actor at Blue Boy adult studio. Nursing an unrequited crush on his boss, he’s never needed anything else until kind-hearted Sasha rides into his life on his BMX. They share more than mutual attraction, and when Cam find himself in need of some healing comfort, friendship turns to love.

BOOK 3 – Bold: Go-go dancer Kai has never been the object of anyone’s desire, at least not for real, away from the adult studio where he films scene after scene from the bottom. Then quiet Matthew enters his life. A scene with a difference comes to call, if Kai can figure out how to truly own Matthew, inside and out.

All three novellas guarantee a happily-ever-after.

This is truly a great series, and I recommend it highly. 5 out of 5 for sure.

I will review each book individually. 


BOOK 1 – Bullet: Levi is a power top with an alcoholic mother, and a chip on his shoulder. Sonny’s a dancer with attitude and the biggest heart. Their scene together is just another day at work until Levi realises he’s falling hard for the twink he used to hate. Enemies to lovers is inevitable.

Levi is basically an ass, not caring about about the models he films with. I couldn't help but wonder what made Levi the way he is. It also makes me wonder if porn stars are that way in real life. At least some of them anyway.

Sonny. What an annoying person.

Cam. Good person.

Jon. Well...

Rex. Someone needs to knock him down a few pegs, perhaps give him a dose of his own medicine.

All the characters are well-crafted and multi-dimensional.

The story overall was interesting. Although there were a couple of scenes I could have done without, they were necessary to get the complete picture of what was going on.

4.5 out of 5 stars

Book review: The Australian (Men of the World series) by J.O Mantel

Title: The Australian

Series: Men of the World

Author: J.O Mantel

Genre: M/M Romance Standalone

Release Date: January 31, 2020

Twelve countries. Twelve men. Twelve million dollars!

When Deacon Brady scored his dream job as the lead actor in an award-winning daytime soap opera, he had the entire world at his feet. Racking up an impressive list of awards and voted People Magazine’s sexiest man alive, the world was his oyster, and he was living it to the fullest at the top of the A-list.

But then everything changed ...

The latest Global Financial Crisis, and the crash of Wall Street, not only leaves Deacon bankrupt, but single, depressed and millions in debt.

But when a TV producer approaches him on the street, he arranges a private meeting and makes Deacon a proposition too good to refuse.

With Deacon struggling to make ends meet, the producer offers him an opportunity that will not only pay off his debts, but provide a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that his daredevil heart can't ignore.

The deal - Appear in the new reality TV show, Tainted Love. Travel to twelve countries, meet twelve sexy, single guys, and be paid twelve million dollars. 

But the deal of a lifetime doesn’t come without a price.

He can't allow himself to fall in love, or he risks losing not only the twelve million dollars, but his heart, in the process. 

First stop - Sydney, Australia.
