Hockey, the Olympics and one closeted gay man is what See the Light is all about. Jason Monroe is training for the Olympics. He’s sexy, athletic and deeply in lust with his team’s advisor, Patrick Parker. Despite being attracted to each other, the men agree it would be problematic to enter into a relationship. Trouble is they can’t keep their hands off of one another. When disaster occurs, will they crawl back into their closets or expose their real selves to the world?What I liked about See the Light was the May-December romance between Jason and Patrick. Their chemistry was off the charts, and was the best part of the novel for me. Every aspect of their relationship was fascinating. But, my real issue with See the Light and why I did not rate it higher, was despite the plot being about a potential Olympic hockey player, we really did not get a lot of sports action. And in a book about a professional athlete, I want to read about the game. I wanted the nitty gritty of the hockey world and didn’t get it.So while I enjoyed See the Light on a few levels, mainly, the chemistry between the two main characters and their coming out plot; an opportunity to showcase hockey for the reader was lost in my mind. But still, recommended for people who like May-December romances and an Out For You storyline.Dark Divas Reviews
