Pink
Pucks & Power Plays
By V.L.
Locey
We all know how it is, having a younger sister. Viviana Land
is a curvaceous society page reporter that gets talked into helping her nieces Busy Bee
Scout leader. This leads the girls to Green Hills Ice Rink....
Viviana is a very self absorbed character with many flaws.
However like more people, she needs to find a way to make her career and her
love life come together and make her life have meaning.
Alain Lessard one handsome hunk from the Philadelphia
Wildcats is donating his summer to coaching the youth league.
Alain is truly a focused hockey player who loves working
with people, and his community. His priorities have always been hockey, and…
well hockey. Until he met Viviana it was then that his sparks were awakened.
Viviana is handed an opportunity to write the break out
story of her career. And she can’t help but flirt and tease some juicy tidbits
from Alain, a great hockey defense-men. However, without even noticing Viviana
finds herself falling for the younger hunk.
Can and will Viviana put her virtual pen away for a chance
at this new chance at the perfect career
choice or will she finally get away from those annoying bakery opening articles
by using the man she could possibly be in love with? Can she make the right choice here?
Can and will Vivian and Alain make their relationship work?
For that matter should they? And will Viviana learn to becoming less self
absorbed, and a better person, now that she has a man to focus on. It’s time to
read and find out more yourself!
This book is a truly sporty five star read, relating to
young teens, and hockey. I enjoyed the relationships with the family, and the
fact that these characters truly seemed life like.
Viviana truly had an
attitude just like an independent self absorbed woman. Alain’s character is
very strong, and truly emotional and helps to make the book more memorable as
he brings the romance to life. You will truly enjoy this book, it will
enlighten you on hockey, and even careers and relationships. This book “Pink
Pucks and Power Plays” was a very inspirational sporty read!
My
questions for Ms. Locey:
1. What made you write this book and how long did it take?
I wanted to pen a sports romance series where the leading ladies
weren't the typical size 2, blonde, bubbly heroines. I wanted to show the world
that a woman with curves and some sass could win the heart of the handsome
younger man even if she were not Susie Sunshine. All of my heroines, and heroes
when talking about my M/M books, are not Princes or Princesses. They are flawed
and it shows. Some are heavy, some are painfully shy, some are in their 40's or
50's, some are handicapped, and one in particular is just an out-and-out jerk.
Yes, I'm looking at you, Victor Kalinski.
Pink Pucks probably took about a month for a completed first
draft. I spend at least 2-3 hours per day writing, so things go rather quickly
most generally.
2. Are you yourself into Hockey?
Oh yes, I am a super rabid New York Rangers fan. I make a yearly
pilgrimage to New York City with my best buddy Michele (another huge hockey
fan) just to visit Madison Square Garden to see a Rangers game. My family and I
also attend as many minor league games as we can since we have an ECHL team
close by.
3. Do you have photos or descriptions of Viviana, her sister
and/or Alain?
I have a Pinterest board with all sorts of images for Pink Pucks
& Power Plays, as well as all my other books. Here's the link:
4. What are your hobbies?
I love to read, do yoga, collect Marvel comics, watch hockey,
chill with my chickens, play video games, and enjoy going to the movies with my
hubby and daughter.
5. What all education do you have?
I have a high school diploma.
6. What do you suggest to aspiring authors?
There are two things that I like to pass along to folks who are
hoping to write that book they've been dreaming of:
1-Do not let anyone tell you that you are too fat, skinny, young,
old, handicapped, rich, poor, green, purple, yellow, brown, white, or lime
green to follow your dreams.
2-Put your backside in that chair and write. All the talent,
amazing characters, and superb plots mean nothing if you do not learn the
discipline required to be an author. That means your butt in that chair every
day, no matter what. I know, it's harsh advice, but it's one of the most
important things that I can pass along aspiring authors.
7. What are you working on now?
At the moment I'm working on a book for my Venom erotic hockey
series titled Angle Play. The Venom series spun off the To Love a Wildcat
series and is about a women's pro team playing in Philly.
8. Who is/are your favorite Author(s)?
Oh boy, there are so many! Off the top of my head, we'll go with J.R.
Ward, Diana Gabaldon, George RR Martin, Rick Riordan, and Armistead Maupin. My
reading tastes are all over as you can see.

I'd like to thank Deneale and all of the readers out there! We
authors love every reader and blogger who supports the reading community as
well as the world of romance!
Skate hard and love deeply,
