A hardworking, competitive, and skilled hockey player, Garrett is the cornerstone of the Burlington Dragons hockey team and one of the league’s most popular playmakers. Blessed with a face that delivers millions in endorsements, he has a legion of fans, and a future so bright that he is the envy of many.

When his internet fame puts him in danger, and a stalker threatens his life, the team hires Jason, a quiet but deadly former marine, to protect him. Danger is always close, but forced proximity means sparks fly, attraction burns, and somehow, resentment turns to love.

When Garrett’s stalker ups their game at a charity bachelor auction, there is a real chance it could mean the end for Garrett, but Jason refuses to leave his side whatever the risk.

These two stubborn men will have to fight to walk away from this alive, but their newfound love is worth every sacrifice.

Guarding Garrett by RJ Scott was worth the read as part of the Hockey Allies Bachelor Bid romances. Garrett, part of the hockey world, and the bachelor’s auction was under fire by an unknown stalker. Enter Jason, bodyguard and co-owner of Dearmax Consultancy, hired to keep Garrett safe while attempting to discover who wanted to harm the man.

I liked Garrett from the first book that I read in the romances, Keeping Kyle. I was happy to read Garrett’s story and learn about his life. Garrett was cocky, but in a likable way- he exuded confidence and swagger, while being humble. I appreciated his characterization through the author’s eyes.

I especially liked Jason- ex Marine turned bodyguard. Yes, aptly cliched, but worked so well, as did the coupling of him with Garrett.

Guarding Garrett’s who-dun-it, sexy hockey players, and sexy romances all made for a great read.

S.E.X. Review~ Loving Layne by V.L. Locey

Sometimes the last thing you expect to happen might turn out to be what you needed all along.

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.

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.

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.

An NHL All-Star
A workaholic entrepreneur
One irresistibly tempting opportunity

KYLE
I can’t believe I let my best friend talk me into being auctioned off for charity. But when I get a look at the guy who placed the winning bid, I feel like I’m the one who snagged the top prize.

AUSTIN
I didn’t get to where I am by letting opportunities slip through my fingers. When I learn that Kyle Pressgrove will be part of the bachelor auction taking place during All-Star weekend, that’s the kind of chance that you grab ahold of, and I have no intention of letting go.

With my career on the line and the possibility of Kyle being traded to a team half-way across the country, things between us might be over before they’ve even begun. I’d give anything to keep Kyle in my life, but everything might not be enough.

Keeping Kyle by Jeff Adams was one of the books in the Hockey Allies Bachelor Bid collection. Never having read nor reviewed Jeff Adams, I was pleasantly surprised by the quirky style of writing and banter of the characters.

Mr. Adams delivered a wonderful tale of one of my favorite sports, with equally enigmatic characters.

Kyle and Austin were self-determined personas, workaholics, and ever present with their families. The one thing each man lacked was the ability to maintain a relationship, as their professional lives continued to interfere. What I really liked about Keeping  Kyle was the authors ability to allow the MCs to grow and drive the story. The road to love and life was not easy, nor did the author give the men the easy out. Their lives traversed many roads with a final outcome coming to a rest stop of love. The tale was sexy without being overrun with sex-it would not have fit the bill, and I’m glad the author showed restraint.

Keeping Kyle delivered a terrific sport, great secondary characters, and two loving men.

Jeff Adams did a wonderful job in delivery and sexiness and I now have a new author to read.
