Tape to Tape
The Venom Series 3
By: V.L. Locey
The best part about reading Vicki’s books is the
fact that not only do I get sports, I get romance. That is what I like best
about reading her books. It puts a whole new kick on the taste, and it makes it
so much more interesting.
This time we get to spend time with Coach Dot
West, or better known as “The Shadow.”
Now Dot is a woman who likes to do
everything on her own, and doesn’t want nor need help from anyone, and she
likes it that way. She doesn’t want to have to look back and say, “Yeah I
wouldn’t be here if it was for so and so.” Dot wants to be the one take all the
credit for making it on her own.
But we all know when we least expect it, a man
walks in, am I right, or am I right?
Dot meets this guy, known as Theo, and I must
admit, his description made me lick my lips. And by the sounds of Theo, I think
he even knows he is a looker, too.
Anyway, Theo is a former goalie for the
Wildcats, and is now a co-host of a very controversial radio sports talk show.
The show is based in Philly, which is of course of the Venom.
Well one day, Dot ends up losing her cool and
calls in to the show. Now you know us women, we are usually famous for the last
word. But this ends up back firing, and the smug fool that Theo is, gets Dot
into the chair of the radio station.
Dot has always been one to keep her guard up,
she doesn’t feel that needs or wants a man in her life, but the sparks ignite,
and she can’t help but feel drawn toward Theo. There is just something about
him.
She keeps trying to tell herself no, but her
heart keeps telling her to go for it. Dot has a hard decision to make, with
this truly exciting story of eye opening romance.
This book “Tape to Tape” is truly a five star
read, I could feel the stubbornness in Dot as I read, and I could so relate.
She is an amazing woman, who truly wants to be her own individual, and wants to
give no one else credit. A lot of women are strong like this, today.
This is
truly a very emotional read, and you can feel the vibes as you read it! I loved
every moment of this book, and I think that you the readers will too! Vicki is
truly a great sporty story teller!
Here are my questions for Vicki:
1.
What made you write this book and how long did it take you?
I just love a good saucy couple. You know, the
kind who start out snapping and snarling at each other, but end up realizing
that they belong together, despite some obstacles. That’s Dot and Theo. It
usually takes me about a month to write a 50K novel, sometimes more or less.
2.
What are you working on now?
At the moment I’m working on an M/M hockey
romance called Open Net, which is part of a planned duology.
3.
Do you have any photos or descriptions of the characters?
I can do better! I have a whole Pinterest board
filled with images of Dot, Theo, and other characters and settings!
4.
Obviously, you like hockey, but how hard is it to write about it too?
For me writing the hockey action is pretty easy,
since I watch SO much hockey. Generally, I try to plan out what happens on the
ice beforehand. This way I can lead the reader through the action. In a way
it’s like choreographing a dance only the dancing is on ice.
5.
What led you to writing?
I actually started writing seriously because I
had seen a movie and disliked how it was presented. I sat down and in a fit of
anger, wrote my first fan fiction. After realizing I could put down the stories
bouncing around inside my head, I buckled down and started dedicating myself to
pursuing my dream. So I like to kiddingly say that Brian Singer is the reason I
started writing.
6.
What is your favorite book of all time?
Oh boy, there are too many that I love to pick
just one. I might be able to narrow it down to a few favorites. Outlander for
sure as well as the Black Dagger Brotherhood novels. I reread them all the
time.
7.
Have you ever met any other authors? How about famous hockey players?
I haven’t met any other authors in person yet,
but I am headed to an event outside of Pittsburgh in March so I’m looking
forward meeting some of my online friends there! As for hockey players, no, I
haven’t met any famous ones yet. The next time I’m in New York for a game, I
plan to linger around outside MSG until I get to meet at least one darn Ranger!
8.
What are your hobbies?
I like to read, walk, do yoga, and play video
games.
9.
Is hockey as bloody as they make it out to be on TV? (And I mean for parents too)
It’s not nearly as bloody as it used to be. The
league is trying to cut back on the fisticuffs, but there are still fights on
occasion. It’s a part of the game. Some fans love it and some hate it. The age
of the goon (a player who is on the team solely for his size and fists) is
pretty much over. Hockey is now more about skill and speed now and less about
punching people.
