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.
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.

Layne
and Roman in Loving Layne were wonderfully written characters in V.L.
Locey’s contribution to the Hockey Allies Bachelor Bid romances. My
second book in the shorts, and I could not get enough.
Layne
was a hockey player just shy of retirement and Roman was a journalistic student
starting his career on the path to righteous writing. And together they were
hockey’s answer to the hat trick- that’s how much I loved this couple.
Roman
was an old soul in a young man’s body, always fast with the quip, while Layne was
a soothing presence before, during and after tumultuous times.
I
loved that the characters found each and went for it. The angst came after the
men got together which was refreshing and aptly done. There was never any doubt
that Layne and Roman belonged together and Ms. Locey gave readers the
hope this would occur even though rough times appeared. Both characters were
approachable and real.
Loving
Layne
was Ms. Locey at her finest, except I wanted more. More snark, more old
world banter, and definitely more Layne and Roman.
