Synopsis

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.

Loving Layne features Roman, a somewhat nerdy college student who loves hats and old music. He’s studying journalism and wants to do investigative pieces. He never expects to hookup with a hockey star and never imagined that a jock could be so smart. They find out they have a lot of common interests and things progress quickly from there.

Layne is in Chicago for the All Star weekend. He will be one of the players up for bid during the Hockey Allies Bachelor Bid Auction. When he hooks up with Roman, he is instantly smitten and doesn’t care that Roman is young enough to be his son.

The focus of this story isn’t the age-gap between Roman and Layne and I liked that about it. The gap is acknowledged but not beat to death. Roman is in Chicago because his best friend, Dillon, has something going on which he won’t talk about, and Dillon’s mother didn’t want him to be alone.

The story is written in perfect V.L. Locey style with witty and snarky dialogue and hot as fire sexy time. I never guessed what Dillon’s secret was until it was revealed. I really can’t say much more about the book without giving away spoilers.

I’ll close by saying that I really enjoyed everything about this story and I thought that Layne and Roman fit perfectly together.
