Hello! I’m so happy to be here at Love Bytes to chat a bit about my newest release, A Brush of Blue, Colors of Love #5. For those who aren’t familiar with the books, they’re standalone MM hockey romance novels that reflect one color of the rainbow in each title. In every Color of Love book some of the most beloved tropes flare to passionate life as our couples search for that special someone. As with all my books, each Colors of Love novel will address important social issues, personal growth, team dynamics, and the joy of finding that one true love.
In A Brush of Blue we get to meet Landon Reese and Montrell Pittman. When I was dreaming up the character bios for these two men, I was greatly inspired by the great bands who play alongside the late night talk show hosts such as Jon Batiste and Stay Human, Fred Armisen and The 8G Band, Reggie Watts and the Late, Late Show Band as well as others. Since my goalie, Landon, is a famous New York City athlete, him meeting, butting heads with, and eventually wooing a sexy jazz man, Montrell, seemed like a perfect set-up set in the city that never sleeps.
Thanks so much for dropping by! Stay safe out there.
Hugs,
V.L. Locey
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.
