Someone needs to pinch web designer/humor blogger/Pittsburgh Ravens mega fan Mike Kneller. Hard. For years, Mike has been living his life for his younger sister Kelly and his four-year-old nephew Liam. He’d opened up his home to Kelly when she found herself pregnant at sixteen and facing having a baby alone. Sure, his days are filled with skinned knees, snotty noses, and the occasional mishap with stuffed superheroes, but he’s perfectly happy because he loves Liam as much as he loves his baby sister. Giving up a social life and going to bed alone is a small price to pay. Little does he know that someone on the Ravens is about to show Ravens goalie Bryn Mettler one of his vlog posts. Of course he’s not going to believe it when his phone rings and the world-famous netminder—and his goalie crush—is on the other end. I mean, life doesn’t work that way for ordinary, hardworking uncles like Mike. Does it?
Bryn Mettler is a superstar athlete and a major part of the Pittsburgh sports society. He seems to have it all. He’s well-dressed, handsome, wealthy, an elite goaltender, a famed philanthropist, and the holder of numerous medals and trophies. To date, there are two things that have avoided him: lifting that big shiny silver cup over his head and finding a man to settle down with. Now that he’s over thirty, Bryn is finding the gay club scene is wearing thin. His teammates’ wives have decided it’s their duty to the team—and to Bryn—to find him Mr. Right. He’s relatively sure the man who’ll capture his heart surely won’t be found on a humor blog. Funny how life likes to take the things that you’re most certain about and flip them—and you—on its ear. When Bryn meets Mike, he is instantly drawn to the warm, funny, sexy man who shares his hectic days with thousands of Pittsburgh natives. Now he just has to convince Mike he is who he says he is so he can get to know him better. Thankfully, Bryn isn’t a quitter. But does he have what it takes to leap into life with Mike, Kelly, and Liam?
Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
I love every single second of VL Locey's Life According to Liam.
Mike runs a blog called "Life According to Liam," highlighting fun things his four year old nephew says. Mike's a hockey fan who gets lucky when he meets hockey star Bryn Miller. After Mike writes a post about Bryn, the hockey star contacts him. It's a sweet story idea, and it's carried out perfectly.
Omg, this VL Locey tale is just wonderful; as charming as can be. I love it. Every single moment.
It's a great relationship between a famous athlete and an average man, who just so happens to live with his sister and her son. Can you say opposites attract?
Mike and Bryn connect strongly from the start. They're super hot together, with some amazing chemistry. And yes, there's some amazingly hot rimming involved. I definitely enjoy that Bryn is out and proud, instead of being the typical closeted athlete.
There's some great humor, as the young Liam naturally inspires posts for Mike's blog. Liam is adorable. "When is a good time to talk about duck poop?" "I can only hold in the poop talk for so long!"
Personally, I found myself swooning over the fact that Bryn called Mike "Michael." I found it so darn tender and absolutely charming.
Life According to Liam is super sweet, insta-love romance, and a definite re-read for me. This no angst read is perfect when you're looking for a happy and easy read.
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.
