My Personal Review for Blue Skye by Viki Lyn

Be introduced to Woodland Village by author Viki Lyn. You will find wonderful characters there who will steal your heart...get ready for Blue Skye.

My rating for Blue Skye: 4 stars 

Skye Taylor and Drew Adams were friends and they both enjoyed being there for one another...until one event shatters that friendship and both go their seperate ways, hiding their desires and fears till years later, Skye comes back to Woodland Village and Drew finds himself having to deal with his secret fear and desires again. Can these two find their way back to one another or will they find themselves alone, adrift and longing for someone that has stolen their heart that night long ago?

Viki Lyn delivers one wild ride from start to finish. If you haven't picked up one of this author's work you need too hurry up and grab one of her books. The story line moves quickly, the writing is tight and the characters...well let me say the cast of characters in the Woodland Village Series is where the heart of each story lays. This is an author who knows her characters intimately, lets them shine-warts and all and delivers an emotional story that will leave you breathless. 

Blue Skye introduces the reader to the Woodland Village and the people who live, work there. I got to admit, I loved this series when it came out years ago at another publisher but in this updated edition, the reader is given much more to enjoy. The sparks fly right after the reader opens the story up between Drew and Skye. Skye is an out and proud gay man, living and working as an artist in NYC while Drew bowed to family pressure, married the right woman and closed off his secret desires..or so he thought until the one man who he adored comes back and life for Drew is anything but the same again. These two characters are the heart of Blue Skye. Drew alone made me want to give him a hug and tell him it would be alright while with Skye I wanted to smack him for being a jerk at times and the other times try to let him know he will be ok, regardless of what happens. This author does a wonderful job in creating flawed individuals. Drew, Skye and the entire cast of characters have faults, issues and more that real life people deal with everyday. I adored these characters in every possible way. 

Blue Skye is one wild ride from start to finish though I got to warn you there are a few twists that happen that left me going 'ohmygod' over and over again as I flipped the pages just to see what happens next for Drew and Skye. Viki Lyn delivers a fine introduction into a place that makes me wonder if it's real. If you haven't picked up Blue Skye, why the heck not? It is one series you will enjoy and want to read m ore of in the future. I look forward to seeing where this author goes for the series and can't wait to read Ryan's Harbor next.

Fantasy writer Scott Marwick just might be John’s financial savior if John can convince Scott to sign over the character rights for a new computer game. John befriends Scott for one purpose -- to get him to sign -- never planning on falling in love. When John shatters Scott’s trust, can Scott forgive and move on from his past mistakes?

John Kramer discovers two guys humping on the hood of his Ferrari in the parking lot of the local gay bar. When he finds one of the pair alone and in a drunken stupor, John drives him home. To his surprise, the young man’s father is his new next door neighbor, Scott Marwick.  Tempers flare when Scott accuses John of getting his son inebriated and taking advantage of him. John plans to never see the man again.

Then John’s boss flips out when he finds out the jerk next door is Scott Marwick, a temperamental, but famous fantasy writer. The elusive author could save their company from financial ruin if they can get him to sign over his characters for a computer game. Ryan insists John befriend Scott, show him around the Village and get him to agree to a meeting.

The last thing Scott needs is friends. He moved to Woodland Village to forget about the past and to write. Since his partner’s death three years ago, he hasn’t written one word, and his agent, publisher, and fans are clamoring for the final book of his award-winning series. His life is spiraling out of control and he doesn’t know if he can finish his series. He doesn’t need the complication of love and he certainly wouldn’t associate his name with a computer game.

But when John’s life begins to fall apart, Scott must decide where his loyalties lie—with John or his principles.
