Shutdown Pair
Slinging burgers in Minnesota in the dead of winter isn’t exactly the Hemingway lifestyle aspiring writer Heath has dreamed of. About the only thing the quick-witted wordsmith has going for him is his pick-up hockey league games every Saturday. Now it looks like even that’s gone south, along with the team’s AWOL goalie.
That is until mysterious Wyatt Dickenson skates into town and announces that he can tend net. Heath isn’t the type to turn down such a generous offer from a Greek god with impressive equipment and all the right moves.
Heath offers to share his rented room with the enigmatic drifter, and soon begins to suspect that Wyatt is harboring a secret. Can Heath get Wyatt to open up about his dark past? Is there a dark past? Or is Heath’s writer’s mind just spinning sexy, shadowy scenarios about the mystery man who has him so infatuated?
Reader Advisory: This story has graphic sexual language and scenes—no closed bedroom doors (or other rooms) here!

The first page of this book had me laughing out loud; I thought it was going to be love-at-first-sight for sure. But, unfortunately, that loving feeling, though not entirely lost, turned into much more of a like. The blurb had me all, ‘Quick-witted, aspiring writer?? Mysterious stranger?? Beer league hockey team?? YES!’ And, as I said, it did start off with a bang. Laughing in the first paragraph is great. Comedies are great. I think the issue here, though, was a lack of balance. The author immediately turned the dial up to eleven, but then didn’t back down. It felt like she was trying too hard to be cute and funny, nonstop, making some of it feel forced.
Heath is a seemingly intelligent, wise-cracking, quick-thinking man-child. He did crack me up a couple of times, and had me chuckling a handful more, but he was just a bit much a majority of the time as well, a little too over-the-top for me. I also had to shake my head a few times while reading, particularly over a double reference to Harry Hamlin. The author uses Harry Hamlin as the reference to describe Wyatt’s sexy mouth, and I just had to question whether any twenty-something (or, in Wyatt’s case, nineteen) year old man would even know who Harry Hamlin was, or would reference him as a heartthrob if he did. I was so perplexed that I asked two gay friends their thoughts! (They agreed with me.)
All of that aside, there were also things I liked. First, the characters themselves—I did like Heath, and I really liked Wyatt. Their chemistry wasn’t off-the-charts, necessarily, but they were good together. The guys on the team were fun. I loved Don as Heath’s bullshit meter. Ha! And, the hockey stuff was great. I would have liked even more of it, though not more references to how smelly the gear is. That was definitely covered!
And, finally, I really did like the story itself. There were a few times where the author did slow things down, giving a few more substantive moments to the story; those were the parts I thought were the best. Wyatt’s backstory was really good, and Heath’s care of him once he found out Wyatt’s secret was really nice. The subject matter surrounding his mysterious appearance in Frost Lake was actually pretty heavy, though, and required a delicate touch. Again, I love comedy, but you need those moments in between chuckles to take things down a notch. I would have loved to see more of these moments mixed in with the nonstop hilarity.
Shutdown Pair was my first book by V.L. Locey, and though this one didn’t turn out to be my favorite, I can definitely see her appeal. I would probably try something else by her at some point…maybe it was just a timing thing for me with Heath and Wyatt.

3 I... think I liked this? Maybe? stars
I'm kind of divided actually.
When you first start reading this you'll notice Heath, our narrator, runs his mouth. A lot. He has attitude for days and is self-absorbed in the way only a young, twenty-something-year-old man with the personality of an adolescent boy can be. He's overly critical (often describing people as boney-assed, chubby, pimply faced, etc.) hates his job and thinks it beneath him (whereas, I think he should be grateful he has one) and has snark coming out of his ass.
And then you have Wyatt, who's clearly running from something and scared for his life. He's going to make it across that Canadian border and into safety come hell or high river water. Staying with Heath in his cramped studio apartment for a few days is a very temporary solution until he can get enough pocket change to move on. He's quiet and reserved and has that brooding thing down to an art.
All of this sounds too good to be true! Snark + hurt + sexy man loving + hockey? How could it not add up to anything but freakin' amazing?!
I'm almost positive I was expecting something like my equation, and not the comedy I ended up reading.
I thought this story would be on the more serious side of things with a balanced dose of Heath to lighten things up. Wyatt comes with some emotional baggage and pain, and I would have rather explored that then read the ramblings that were Heath and his witty comebacks. There is no off switch with Heath, and as a result, this book often feels like it's trying too hard to be funny.
It's a weird caricature of a small town, that, at first I thought was inhabited by an entire population of douchenozzles with Heath as it's King.

4.5 rounded up
The story of Heath and Wyatt is told first person by Heath, who is a want to be writer, six months out of college, and wearing a despised burger hat, working for a sweaty armpit little tyrant, while he waits to become the next must-read. The only thing that is keeping him sane is his love of hockey. He’s the team captain for the Fishers and they play every Saturday. Thank heaven or heath would lose his mind. When their goalie has to flee the state, a stranger steps in to play.
Heath is the captain with a degree in writing and amazing grasp of the English language. Until he meets the beautiful goalie, when he turns into an inarticulate idiot. “Uhm” Yeah, that was back like an annoying testicle rash. Did they make unguents for the mind?” Good thing his friend, Don, is there to get things on track with maybe a Yes, Please be the goalie. Just an aside – I loved Don. He’s a strong, funny character, comfortable with everyone’s sexuality and just an all around good guy.
I am so glad this is written from Heath’s perspective because his thoughts are the best. “I’m fixated on polyester, I know. I’d sooner have my dick swinging free while on fryer duty than be in polyester.” That’s a guy who’s serious about his fashion (even as he wears the dreaded burger hat). His aversion to testicles and food in the same area and his trip to the glory hole in St Paul, which admittedly made me laugh out loud, just make him more, well, Heath.
Wyatt is just stopping by to make some money and then he’s off to Canada. Meanwhile, he has nowhere to stay. Heath, being a kind person (who also wants to “…tap him like a phone in the cold war), offers Wyatt a bit of his one-room place. Wyatt’s reactions to things are out of bounds, terrified is putting it mildly. There is a story there but Heath isn’t getting it out of him yet.
It takes patience, humor and an unexpected visit from Heath’s past to unravel the whole thing. It is a delicate balance between the terrible and the terribly funny and you want to hug Wyatt. The scene by the Frost River, when Heath comes clean about going through Wyatt’s wallet, that seemed real. These guys have baggage to deal with but Heath is the right guy to do so. I loved that he never pushed Wyatt, even when his heart was breaking. Wyatt hates Frost Lake, so what to do?
While this story is out right funny, it does deal with some super serious topics. VL Locey’s humor is right up my alley and I look forward to laughing with her characters. In this story, we get that humor with an underlying tension of Wyatt’s past. It worked for me because that’s Heath’s personality; open them up with humor. I liked these guys immensely and I loved this story. Highly recommended.

I received one copy of this book at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
In Shutdown Pair by V.L. Locey you have Heath, burger flipper by day and aspiring writer by night, who loves his amateur hockey league and time playing video games. A mysterious man shows up on the ice just in time to fill in for the team's missing goalie. The mysterious man is quiet, sexy and clearly on the run from a past he is terrified of.
Wyatt just wants to make it over the boarder to Canada and escape a troubled past. He needs to wait for the weather to improve and earn some money so middle of nowhere Minnesota is where he ends up. Unfortunately, his past catches up to him and he isn't sure he wants to run again.
I honestly didn't like Heath all that much at first. He is a bit of a jerk....slightly judgmental and borderline rude. His attitude definitely improves as you move through the story and he turns out to be a really sweet guy. He really digs deep to get to know Wyatt and show him the support and caring that will help him open up. Of course, the fact that he wants to climb Wyatt like a tree is a good reason to cozy up to him but he is genuinely a nice guy and wants to help.
Wyatt's character just tugged at my heart. He is so big and tough but also afraid and vulnerable. He is desperate, slow to trust anyone, and keeps his problems to himself until they show up on his doorstep. I love that combination of tough on the outside but tender on the inside!
You meet a few secondary characters in the story but they don't play major roles. They are a very well written and creative supporting cast but Heath and Wyatt definitely take center stage. They dance around each other physically and emotionally for most of the story and it isn't until about three quarters of the way through the story that they really let their guard down and get involved.
I LOVE a good hockey story and while the others I have read by this author have mostly been professional or minor league hockey, this one revolves around amateur 'beer league' hockey. Mainly just for fun but slightly more organized. I might have liked to see a bit more hockey in it but the parts that were included were definitely well written.
Shutdown Pair by V.L. Locey is written in Health's point of view and I did want to get more into Wyatt's head as the story progressed. I enjoyed the writing style which was very engaging and kept the story moving forward quickly.
Overall I may have liked the story to be a little bit longer...a bit more dealing with Wyatt's past and a bit more falling in love. However, this was a very well written story and one that I definitely enjoyed!

I absolutely adore VL Locey's Point Shot trilogy. So good!
I have some issues with this one, though. I really like that Heath was a writer. Writer–hockey player! Sign me up!! And I liked the general plot/story and the message, too.
But the writing didn't really cut it for me. Maybe it was my headspace? I know that it took me a little while to get into the writing style/narrative voice of Two Man Advantage, but once I was hooked, I was absolutely hooked. This one, though—I could never get into the groove of it. She does the whole "the other man" thing all the time (except without saying "the other man," thankfully—instead it was "the goaltender," "the tendie," "the man straddling the boards"). It's honestly sometimes confusing—like, who's that? Where did that guy come from? Just use the characters' names, good grief. There were also confusing punctuation issues. And I really didn't need to be reminded 35 times that hockey players are smelly. It's hard to think something is sexy when you're constantly being reminded that the characters stink. No bueno.
I love a good hockey story, so there are things about this that I automatically loved. And there's some good humor, for sure. But it wasn't a great reading experience overall. Maybe I'll reread the Point Shot books today. Good activity for the first Sunday of the off-season! ♥
(Also, who are the guys on the cover? Or the one on the right, at least? I hate when covers don't match the characters' descriptions. Ugh, I'm so picky. But that drives me nuts.)

Shutdown Pair by V.L. Locey V.L. Locey scores with Shutdown Pair. Writer Heath Parker meets drifter Wyatt Dickenson at his beer-league hockey game when they were in need of a goalie. Heath offers Wyatt a place to stay while he is in town. His curiosity causes him to try to uncover Wyatt’s mysterious past. This M/M Sports Romance is appropriate for adult audiences. It takes place in Frost Lake, Minnesota.
I love Heath’s humor. His curious nature and creative mind make for some interesting scenarios. Wyatt is a great character. He starts off as mysterious. As you discover his past, your heart goes out to him. He is smart, a talented goalie, and nice guy. Heath’s boss Roger is an annoying human being on a power trip with an inferiority complex. I’m sure most of us can relate with having known someone like that. Deke Reynolds makes a great antagonist. He is a jerk whom I did not like, to say the least.
This 93-page book is a fast read that I completed in one sitting. I love that Heath came into Wyatt’s life. They are good for each other. I like how the story ended. Shutdown Pair was well resolved and felt complete. It made me smile.

OMG. This book was freaking hilarious! I loved Heath
and his snarky, comeback attitude. He had me laughing so hard with
all his one liners and wit. He reminded me of some of the things I
have said. It was awesome! I want Heath as a friend for sure.
Loved and felt sorry for poor Wyatt. Wyatt was on the run and headed
for the northern border. He finds himself in Minnesota with hardly any money
in his pocket, no place to stay, and only his car and hockey gear to his name.
As luck would have it, he meets up with Heath.
This story takes us on their journey of self discovery, redemption, and passion.
A #LGBTQ Romance starring hunky males!
Written as a single pov. Would loved to have seen Wyatt's pov.
Would I recommend this book? Yes!
Would I read more from this author? Yes!

well-written quick read. I liked Heath and Wyatt and I wanted more of them - yes, more story, but even within the novella, I wanted to hear more from Wyatt (I know, I know, he doesn't talk much, that's part of his thing, but I wanted to find out more about him - who he is, not just what happened to him) and I wanted more interaction between Heath and Wyatt. There were some quite funny lines interspersed with the fairly serious subject matter, which was good.

May 7, 2016Everything happens when you least expect it. Except another wonderful book by V.L. Locey. This easy read keeps you on edge until the very end. WONDERING. Will Heath break out of his slump? Who is Wyatt? What's his secret? HOPING. Will they make it? These guys will work their way into your heart and you will come to love them as much as I did

A good story, well paced, with great characters. The domestic abuse backstory was handled well, and the humor that was laced throughout the book helped it not feel too heavy.

I really enjoyed this book because of it's light writing style and humour.
The story is fairly straightforward and the subject matter could have made it very deep and angsty but in this case, it was all quite light. It read really fast and time sped by.
Heath was a fun character, extra bouncey and full of quips and wise cracks - and also wisdom to deal with Wyatt.
Wyatt is full of secrets, even after Heath goes snooping so when his past catches up, it is not pleasant for them to deal with. Heath became the dispenser of good thoughts and deeds and got Heath to talk to the authorities.
So if you are looking for deep, hard hitting stroy line - take a pass. But if you just need a quick light enjoyable read, step right up.

Great story. If the author had gone a little deeper and this been a full length novel it would have been a 5 star read.
