There’s always that chance that your heart’s desire is one click away.
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?

I loved this sweet and sexy love story.
V.L. Locey has really out done herself with the last few solo books she’s released and Life According to Liam is one of those. I really enjoy the hockey romance books that she does with RJ Scott but I also enjoy reading the ones that are not focused on hockey quite as much.
Life According to Liam does have a hockey player as one of the MCs but the story much more revolves around the relationship and love story between web designer Mike Kneller and goal tender Bryn Mettler.
Mike works from home so that he can take care of his sister Kelly’s little boy, Liam. He doesn’t feel like he’s given up anything to help her and Liam out and he’s devoted to both of them. Liam provides him with so many funny things to write about that he started a blog. That blog leads to him meeting his secret crush, and Liam’s hockey idol, Bryn Mettler.
Bryn enjoys being a goalie and is proud of his accomplishments but the older he gets, the more he realizes that he needs someone special in his life. When a friend shows him a video on Mike’s blog he is enchanted and knows that he has to meet the man that has written so much about his nephew, Liam.
Life According to Liam has a bit of a Cinderella feel to it for me and I really loved it. It was a pretty quick book to read and kept me engrossed during a recent plane trip. Angsty stories are great but sometimes you just want something a little lighter. d fit that bill nicely.
