Touch of a Yellow Sun (Colors of Love Book 2) Kindle Edition

by V. L. Locey (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 266 ratings
It’s been a rough couple of years for Marek Hafer, roaming hockey protagonist and pugilistic expert. Ending up in Berger Lake, Pennsylvania, on a financially unstable minor league team might just be the ending his wretched career deserves. On the other side of thirty, Marek knows his time on skates is dwindling. His goal now is to spend a few quiet years playing for the Berger Lake Badgers, knock a few helmets together as needed, and then call it quits before his salty personality gets him booted out of hockey permanently.After a bloody encounter his first night on the ice, the Badgers coach suggests that Marek find a way to lower his violent tendencies before he’s sent packing yet again. That decree leads Marek to knock on the door of his next-door neighbor, Shey Pierson, the owner of Sun Touch Yoga Studio. Shey ticks every box Marek has with his soft blue eyes, flowing golden hair, and long limber legs. The only problem is that Shey is yin to Marek’s yang.Can a man famed for throwing punches find serenity in the arms of a man known for his tranquil ways?

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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I loved Marek and Shey
    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Marek is at the end of his hockey career. He figures he has two years left to play. His playing is rough and he’s not afraid to take somebody down. Part of the reason he is back at the bottom of the hockey ladder. He is given a crappy apartment in a backwater town and expects this will be his dreary life for a while. When he meets his neighbor he is very surprised to find that he is breathtakingly beautiful. Life might of just improved for him.

    Shey, is a yoga instructor, who looks like and angel and accepts Marek into his life without a second thought. He helps Marek find some inner peace while forcing truly disgusting tea on him any chance that he can. When he doubts himself, Shey’s advice of not to hide inside the little fort your inner child has built gives him belief in his future. Shey, along with a very demanding and spiritual Siamese cat, give Marek a home he never expected to have.

    I can’t express how much I adored these guys. I think Marek is right up there with my other favorite hockey player Stan (from the authors Harrisburg Railers series). This book was funny and sweet with some drama (it added to the story and took nothing away from it). This book makes me want to sit and have a cup of tea in a sunshine yellow cup.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2019

    V.L Locey writes a lovely character driven sports romance with opposites attract at its heart.

    Our yoga instructor hero, Pierson, is a mystery that slowly reveals itself and he has a great cat. I would love Pierson to get some the same deep character work that Marek got. Everything that Marek does makes sense and his personal path to happiness is really a wonder.

    Complex, grumpy, and shut down, Marek blooms as he falls in love with Pierson.

    The plot goes drifts off course in places with a bit too much in the mix but the romance is always on point.

    A pleasure.

    I almost didn't read this book because in the sample, the point of view hero was so crude and unlikable. But I did like his love interest and was curious about how these two COMPLETELY opposite men would forge a relationship. I'm so glad I stayed with the story. Turned out to be a beautiful unfolding of healing and love with a bit of mystery. I loved it! I returned to Amazon and bought the first book in the series.

    This book is an awesome lesson in how unchecked pain can lead you down a road that dead ends in humility. And how love can change your heart from pain and humility; and teach it unconditional love, joy and happiness after dumping out all the negative and toxic minutiae we hold on to so tightly.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not a very interesting or passionate read.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I found the story slow-moving and not very interesting. The most tension in the story occurs when a pet is kidnapped. I also found the compatibility of the two main characters questionable. A macho, hot-headed, hockey player and a slightly feminine, chill, yoga instructor being attracted to each other made for a huge suspension of belief. I did like the way the author "spoke" through Marek. He was funny and self-deprecating. But the other mc, Shey, was too proper and lacked a spine. I just found the whole book...meh.

    “Remember that life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
    And just like that, Locey captures the theme of this wonderful story as she brings together a flawed but (questionably) likable hockey player named Marek and a compassionate yoga instructor named Shey. These two characters are seemingly opposite in every way, yet each one has emotional demons to slay, and as they support one another and find love, we cheer them on to a most satisfying ending.
    If you prefer stories in the MM genre with characters of substance who are decidedly not two dimensional, read the Colors of Love series. Well worth your time.
    Ms. Locey, thank you so much for making this series available on KU.

    An unlikely pair, Marek is an angry , rough and tumble hockey player and Shey a peace loving, meditating yoga instructor. But somehow they managed to make it work. Shey was good for Marek. The path to a HEA was not easy , obstacles thrown in their path frequently.
