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.

Another great addition to this series.
The Colors of Love is one of my favorite series by V.L. Locey. The books are all stand-alone stories, connected by themes of color, so don’t be afraid to jump into the series at any point.
I’m a sucker for reformed bad guys getting an HEA. While Landon isn’t really a bad guy int this book he is kind of a dick. He’s self-centered and pretty much keeps to himself with very few friends. He has good reasons but he didn’t need to be so self-centered. After getting shot down and put in his place a few too many times he finally begins to reflect on who he is and how he acts to others.
This was a book that captured me right from the start and didn’t let go. This story brought tears to my eyes in several places. What Landon and Montrell go through is awful and I really can’t say anything more without giving away too much. I will tell you that when things happened it really got me stirred up.
I am really looking forward to reading more books in this series.

ExcerptsI’m not sure how much longer I can do this. Dread, sick and sharp, pierced him right in the gut. He simply wasn’t prepared for dealing with this avalanche of emotions, this overwhelming need to ensure Wes’s safety. He’d done his duty for well over a decade now, and never, not once, had he been as freaked out as he was right then. Something’s got to give.
