Synopsis

What happens when you try to fix the past and end up threatening your future?

Scott is struggling. Grieving the loss of his brother, carrying the weight of his father’s expectations, and getting his ass kicked in the rink, he’s in a downward spiral. He needs a solution and fast, but when his steroid use is exposed, he’s close to losing his place at Owatonna and more importantly, on the Eagles Hockey team. Thrown out of his house, with nowhere to go and no future in sight, he only has one choice; agree to mandatory counseling, random drug tests, and get his act together. Only then will he have a chance at normal. Meeting Hayne, a senior connected to the world through his art, is a shock to the system. Moving in with him is his only option, but falling for the shy artist leaves Scott in an impossible situation, and one he can’t escape.

Hayne has always been that quiet, creative kid who sat in the back of class drawing instead of listening to the teacher. A talented artist, the shy and sensitive young man is struggling with the loss of his childhood friend. Seeing his sadness reflected in his usually colorful paintings, he decides to attend grief counseling and meets Scott, a lost soul in desperate need of light and color in his life. Taking in a homeless hockey player certainly was never part of his carefully orchestrated ten-year plan. But now that Scott is in his life, he’s discovering the joy of this man’s loving smile and tender touch is one of the most beautiful palettes on earth.

Length: 50,000 words approx.

I love Hayne!

Scott is book two in the Owatonna U Hockey series but you don’t need to read book one to enjoy Scott. You really should read it though, because it is a great story, too.

Scott is in a bad place. He loves playing hockey for Owatonna U but he has demons haunting him and ends up on the street. He meets Hayne when he attends a mandatory grief counseling meeting.

I’m not going to rehash the whole story; the blurb is great so check it out. This story really touched me. There’s something so special about Hayne and I just loved him. Scott turns out to be a really good guy, too, he just needs to finish getting his act together; meeting Hayne and going to grief counseling is helping with that.

I loved how descriptive this story was when it came to Hayne’s art. I’ve always greatly admired anyone who has any kind of artistic ability and reading about how he creates his art was just fantastic and fun.

Since this is a romance, it’s not spoiling anything to let you know it all works out in the end and I loved reading their journey very much. Fans of the Harrisburg Railers series will enjoy the surprise from RJ and V.L. near the end of the story.

I’d really love to read more about Scott and Hayne. The book has a HFN (happy for now) and no cliffhanger but I would like to know a little more about Scott’s situation with hockey. Maybe the authors will have more about this coming up in another story.
