S.E.X. Review~ Blitz by Scott & Locey

Cole “Trick” Harrington III has made a career out of pretending he doesn’t care. Not about his past, his name, or the father who built a megachurch empire off judgment and control. Trick torched every bridge back to Atlanta, deliberately wrecked his career, and buried his truth so deep even he started to forget it. Now traded to the Harrisburg Railers, he's skating on thin ice, with a reputation for arrogance and a career teetering on the edge. The last thing he needs is a PR stunt tying him to a squeaky-clean football star, particularly one who is sexy, strong, and always freaking happy. As Trick is forced to confront his growing attraction and deal with the past he’s spent years ignoring—including the younger sister he never knew existed—he realizes that the most brutal battles aren’t fought on the ice. They’re fought in the heart. And this time, he has to stop running.

Tom Fulkowski has led a charmed life. Starting with a typical middle-class childhood in Philly, his skill at catching quarterbacks has propelled him to the heights of pro football. He’s got the rings, he’s got the cash, and he’s got the cars. He’s also got a bad back, achy knees, and a yearning to move on. With one final season to play with the Philadelphia Pumas before retirement, Tom looks forward to that next phase of his life. He’s just not sure what the next phase is exactly. Then, out of the blue, he meets a wild-eyed hockey player with a chip the size of the Liberty Bell on his shoulder. As he and Cole grow closer, he finds a depth to the younger man that resonates deeply. If only Cole would slow down and let Tom catch up to him, they might win it all.

Blitz is an MM romance featuring a bad-boy hockey player with a past he can’t outrun, a football legend on the verge of retirement, a forced PR stunt that might turn into something real, and a game-changing journey to their happy-ever-after.

Blitz, Railers Legacy by Scott and Locey was a wonderful addition to their fantastic spin off series. Troubled and closeted hockey player met closeted golden boy football player, and the sparks flew. Trick had baggage a mile long; urges he attempted to suppress, a preacher father who controlled his every move, and a guilt-ridden psyche. Tom was a closeted gay football player, on the brink of retirement and desired love and a relationship. Luckily, the men were thrown together for a photo campaign and soon realized all their desires could come true.

What I loved about the writing style of RJ Scott & VL Locey was they never forget their true nature of the story, warts and all. There was never any sugar coating; hard ache occurred and sensitive topics discussed, but the light was found at the end of the tunnel.

Both Trick and Tom were super likeable characters, with their own flaws yet tons of charisma. From troubled, self-sabotaging hockey player to sunshine football player, both Trick and Tom were able to make the relationship work. Good friends along the way helped pave their true course and Blitz was a nice continuation of characters from Speed.
