He never thought he’d find love again, but one summer changes his entire life.

Greg Mattar always had a clear path in life. The son of wealthy professionals, he and his sister wanted for nothing growing up in Montreal. His skills playing hockey led him to be picked first in the draft and a successful career as one of the premier defensemen in the league. He married his college sweetheart and within a year, they’d been blessed with twin girls. Then the unthinkable happened, and Greg’s life was turned inside out.

After losing his wife to cancer, he’s left alone to raise his daughters and at the same time balance his career. After a rough year of mourning coupled with a dismal season, Greg and his girls travel to a small vacation community deep in the Catskills. There he meets Aiden Burke, a local artisan with a past who enchants not only Greg’s daughters but Greg as well. During a vacation filled with laughter, acceptance, and morning goose parades, the two men fall for each other, which begins a journey down a winding road of revelations and romance.

Pines and Violets by V. L. Locey was an endearing read. Part of her Colors of Love series, the storyline and characters sucked me right in. What I most appreciated about the book was the seriousness of the topics was not overdone with drama- Ms. Locey allowed the storyline to organically unfold without cinching my heart in a depressing grip.

While I loved Greg and Aiden, I adored Greg’s precocious twins, Raina and Shannal. They stole the show and kept me coming back for me.  Additionally, the attraction, friendship, and eventual love emanated from the two men with dignity and grace. Both had pasts of grief and despair, yet they were able to help each other grow and forged a bond.

Ms. Locey outdid herself in Pines & Violets. The challenges, the tenderness, the outside influences; all added realism to the tale and swept me off my feet- lots of feels and emotion- but with a smile on my face.

Loved this book!

S.E.X. Review~ Songs of Red Currant Wine by V.L. Locey

No matter how far you go love will always lead you home again.

The world has changed quite a bit since Carl Cimino was a young man in Port Plechard. The small Connecticut coastal town once had everything that he held dear: his family, his friends, his hockey team, his school, and his first love, Mike Rinnert. Back then gay boys didn’t parade along the rocky shores in bright rainbow swim trunks. They hid their shame then moved away or married a nice girl and pretended to be happy. After a dismal marriage attempt and a lackluster playing career that ended with an equally unsatisfying coaching job, Carl is called back to Port Plechard to attend Mike’s funeral and swears that he’s just seen a ghost.

Either that or he’s had one too many sips of his father’s homemade wine. He soon discovers that the spirit hovering around Mike’s grave isn’t a phantom at all, it’s Tigh, Mike’s much younger brother. Tigh is nearly an exact replica of young Mike right down to his dark sensual eyes, wavy hair, and lips that beg to be kissed. The two men are drawn to each other immediately, but there’s more than one hurdle to overcome: a sizeable age difference, small-town gossip, personal demons, family problems, and a hurricane just to name a few.

Songs of Red Currant Wine by V.L. Locey was a beautiful addition to the Colors of Love series. Carl was at the end of his rope with life- in debt, no job, and a raging drinker. Tigh was in the prime of his life, and the spitting image of Carl’s first love, Mike (Tigh’s half-brother). The attraction was instant, and nothing to do with the resemblance.

Carl needed to exorcise many demons, and Tigh was the perfect fit for him. The age gap was large, but I thought Ms. Locey made it work. I found Tigh to be an old soul in a twenty something body. And Carl, although in his mid-fifties was an ex hockey player who when not drinking kept himself in check.

The ease with which Tigh related to Carl and helped him come to terms with his sexuality as a closeted hockey player created a symbiotic relationship of need and desire. For a younger man, he was passionate and tender; just what Carl needed in his delicate state.

Ms. Locey did not make light of Carl’s drinking problem, but gave it teeth and showed the struggle was real.

Carl’s father and the secondary characters were well done and as much as I wanted to dislike Carl’s ex wife, I just couldn’t.

A story worth reading and a wonderful addition to the series.

The most difficult of life’s choices might be the one we make when we open our hearts to another.

Landon Reece is the ultimate Manhattan athlete. The elite goalie for the New York Metros is rich, handsome, generous, and purposely single. His life has been a whirlwind of fancy cars, beautiful people, museum galas, and championship rings. Landon now has one year left on his multi-million dollar contract, and the talk around town isn’t good. Despite carrying his team to the pinnacle of success, the aging goalie is hearing rumors that his contract might not be renewed next season. Hoping to curtail the rumors and show the Metros he still has what it takes, Landon and his agent set up a press tour to hopefully remind the fans—and Metros’ management—just how important Landon is to New York City.

During one of a hundred appearances on the tour, Landon finds himself a guest on the newest and hottest late night talk show in the Big Apple. There he meets Montrell Pittman, leader of the show’s band, A Brush of Blue, and his senses come alive. He resolves to do his best to woo the upbeat, sexy musician who ignites his blood like no other person ever has. As the two men grow closer, Landon’s ice time shows how happy his new romance is making him. Then a tragedy rocks his world, and Landon finds himself wallowing in despair and in danger of losing the man who might be the only one who can clear his blues away.

Landon and Montrell were probably two of the most fascinating characters I have read. Ms. Locey hit it out of the park with her newest addition to the Colors of Love series. A Brush of Color was excitingly fresh with characters that deeply touched my soul.

Landon, a hockey goalie extraordinaire made no bones about playing the field until he met Montrell Pittman- jazz player with a secret.

The two men were beautifully written, and Ms. Locey created a dynamic that rivalled any love affair. Albeit a secret which had the ability to destroy them both, the delicate nature which the author delivered the storyline only enhanced the topic and gave justice to what Montrell went through and the ignorance of society.

Vicki Locey has the uncanny knack of drawing the reader into the story, feeling every emotion while crying, laughing, and cheering for the characters, all at the same time. A Brush of Color was no different. Two of my favorite characters, I could not put the book down and will add this to my reread over and over again.
