Colors Of Love Series
Blurb
Can the love they once shared be saved or has the pain of the past eclipsed it?
It’s been twenty years since Kye McLeod left the quaint little mountain town of Spruce Lake, Maine to play professional hockey. He’s had his share of ups and downs, but his choice to hit the big city and not look back has paid off handsomely. The future hall-of-famer is now ready to retire and come out of that dark closet he’s been sequestered in since his first secretive kiss with Davy Aguirre in high school. Now that he’s heading home to keep an eye on his feisty grandfather, there might be the chance to rekindle the flame between him and Davy.
Kye quickly learns that the boy he left behind isn’t the man he’s now knocking heads with. He always imagined grown-up Davy—who now insists on being called David—would be beyond the pain that Kye’s youthful blunder caused him, but now he’s not so sure. When the wildlife conservation officer squares off with the ex-hockey captain their connection is incendiary, and there are more than just fireworks. However, winning back the man he walked away from may not be as easy as he thought…
Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Slow Dances Under an Orange Moon, the fourth book in VL Locey's Colors of Love series, is a beautiful story.
All told from Kye's point of view, the reader quickly learns about Kye's past, including his twenty years as an NHL player. Now back in his small hometown, he's reunited with his ex; an ex who's still mad at him for the way he left.
If you enjoy closeted athletes, you'll enjoy this story. That said, this story isn't about hockey at all, but rather sets the stage for why Kye has been closeted. And as a sports fan myself, this is what I find so compelling about closeted athlete romances.

This is a story full of nostalgia, a grumpy old man, and small town life at it's finest. And there's enjoyable sweet humor sprinkled throughout. It's a sweet and tender second chance romance, full of apologies and forgiveness. It's low angst, with some fantastic light hearted moments. It's a story of repairing broken hearts and a man finding himself with the love of family and community.
The author does a great job with a secondary character who has dementia. This part is written with compassion and care. She also tackles homophobia and gaming laws, with the gaming aspect adding suspense and action to the story.
Slow Dances Under an Orange Moon is a comfy and feel good read, while also exploring some serious topics. VL Locey has once again left me satisfied, as I love, love, love the ending!
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.
