Blurb

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?

Carra's Review

This is a definite case of opposites attract, and if there’s one thing Marek does need in his life, it’s the balance and calm that Shey provides.  I usually find myself drawn to the hockey player in a couple in these types of stories with their strong alpha characteristics, but this time around I actually gravitated more to Shey.  Marek felt a bit all over the place to me, absolutely in desperate need of Shey’s more serene ways.

Looking at the two of these guys, you wouldn’t ever expect they’d work together, but that balance that Shey gives Marek is important, and Marek definitely amuses Shey.  I did find that the parts of the story dealing with Shey’s ex felt extraneous and personally I could have done without them and enjoyed the story just fine.

This story was entertaining, but for me it was more surface-level and I’m attributing that to the lack of connection I felt to Marek.  Shey is the one who held everything together for me in this one, and overall Touch of a Yellow Sun was a 3.5-star read for me.  Recommended for readers 18+ for adult language and sexual content.
