They say first loves never last. Jackie Blue Kalinski was about to show them—whoever they are—that the word never is not in his vocabulary.
From the time Jack Kalinski was a preschooler he had a good sense of who he was and where he wanted to go in life. His childhood was spent drawing beautiful dresses for pretty people, male and female alike. Growing up with two dads who played hockey wasn’t exactly conducive to late night talks about tulle or tailor’s chalk, but he never let that stop his dreams of becoming a fashion designer or expressing the genderqueer heart that beat in his chest. His family’s love and support helped him through some painful losses that shaped him into the strong, vivacious, and charismatic college student he is today. Life hasn’t been a smooth ride, but Jack has persevered and is about to take the fashion world by storm.
Little does he suspect that his tidy life is about to be scorched by a chance meeting with one of the men playing hockey on the gay team his father coaches. Martin McKittrick not only catches Jack’s eye, but the much older man wins his heart. The passionate affair with the captain of the Marine Unit of the BFD burns red hot until the new couple run into a few snags that might dampen the inferno: Jack’s ascent into the fashion world, Martin’s job and the inherent dangers that come with it, and the fact that the well-kept secret romance has just been exposed to the world in a rather big way.

A great book to end a great series!
I’ve wanted to read Jackie Blue’s story ever since we first met him as a little boy. You will enjoy this book best, I think, if you’ve read at least the first two books in this series but I also think it stands alone pretty well. You may not appreciate the full extent of Vic’s reaction to his son, Jackie, dating a much older man, but I don’t think you will be lost either. People who have read about Victor and Dan going all the way back to the Point Shot Trilogy will really love Draw. OK, the book isn’t about them, it’s about their son, but they are featured pretty prominently. 
Read the blurb; it’s great and gives you all of the details about the story. What the blurb can’t really convey is how emotional this story gets in places. Jack has to fight hard for his love of Martin and he has some pretty awful fights with his dad. But V.L. Locey knows how to write a great angsty, snarky and emotional story and still give her guys the HEA they deserve. The book kept my attention throughout and caused me to shed more than one or two tears.
There is a rich cast of supporting characters that includes family members of both Jack and Martin, Jack’s friends from school and one professor who turns out to not be as much of a witch as we (or Jackie) first think. V.L.’s creative mind shines brightly in this story as her writing gives rich descriptions of the clothes that Jackie creates and wears.
While I am sad to see the Vic and Dan (and Jackie) era come to an end, I’m comforted by the knowledge that Jackie got his HEA and that V.L. will be writing more fantastic books for her other series that I love. (Colors of Love, Bryant Park and of course, hockey stories co-written with RJ Scott.)

O Factor: Spicy
USA Today Bestselling Author V.L. Locey – Penning LGBT hockey romance that skates into sinful pleasures.
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.
