I swore I wouldn’t do this again. Mix sports, school, and sex. But right now the only thing standing between me and the NHL is six feet of frenemy packed into a pair of formfitting jeans that have me thinking all kinds of things I shouldn’t. Mostly how to get him out of them.

I don’t just want Kolby. I need him. Because I’ve got to pass this theater class--yeah, I said theater--if I’m going to keep my spot on the team. When tutoring sessions turn into dates-not-dates over Shipley Cider at Vino and Veritas, I realize it’s going to be harder than I thought to keep my hands on my stick and off of Kolby. Worse, I think I might be falling for him. But I’m not ready for that. I want to keep this thing between us on the down low for now.

But Kolby hates secrets. Especially his own . . .

Absolutely Wonderful

Reviewed in Australia on 16 August 2021

Verified Purchase

I truly loved this book. It really had me hooked from the beginning and I was so disappointed when I came to the end. Kolby and Adam are totally swoonworthy with their strong believable characters and the interesting storyline had me reading late into the night. I just couldn’t put it down until I knew that everything worked out in the end. I sincerely hope that Regina Kyle writes more books like this. I loved it!

Pleasant.

An easy read but I can't say I loved it. I struggled to engage with both Adam and Kolby. They had interesting histories that delivered them both to Moo U. Really good stories. I think the issue was they were both one dimensional. In the end I just couldn't care enough. Plus some of the plot twists were clumsy plot points.

A wonderful last book in an amazing series!

Reviewed in Australia on 14 September 2021

Showstopper is the final book in the Vino & Veritas series and talk about going out with a bang! Regina Kyle is a new to me author, but she's also relatively new to writing MM. Not that you could tell, the relationship between Kolby and Adam flowed smoothly without the minor hiccups you sometimes get when an author switches from MF to MM.

Regina Kyle had some mighty big shoes to fill as the last cab off the rank, and fill them she did. I absolutely loved Showstopper. I'm a sucker for a college sports romance, but it has to be done well, and after having a bit of reading drought in this genre, Showstopper fit the bill nicely.

Regina Kyle engaged me from the first page. Her characters were beautifully developed; it was impossible not to be wholly invested in both Adam and Kolby. The dialogue was intelligent, sharp and witty. The romance was swoon-worthy with enough heat to melt my Kindle without taking over the story.

I was highly impressed with my first experience of Regina Kyle's writing; I will certainly be adding this one to my library. This book was a fitting end to the Vino & Veritas series; it was, in every sense, a Showstopper.

Hockey meets the theatre

Reviewed in Australia on 13 August 2021

Adam and Kolby have one of the most fun dynamics of any couple! I especially loved their moments in improv class when they would get all romantic and the tension beyond palpable. The banter is spectacular and had me laughing out loud!

Adam and Kolby have such an instant and undeniable connection, one which really feeds into how deeply natural their relationship feels. Adam, especially, stole my heart with how much of a giant cinnamon roll he is! Kolby is a bit more guarded and prickly, understandable given how much he’s been hurt in the past. The only thing I didn’t really like is that it felt like Adam always had to apologise and make the grand romantic gestures. I wouldn’t have minded if Kolby showed some guilt for his part in the end, but instead, they skipped over acknowledging this and only focused on what Adam had to make up for. It frustrates me a little when I don’t feel the communication covers everything it should, but nothing I couldn’t get past to enjoy their heartwarming reconciliation.

“Everyone has baggage. The key is finding someone who can help you carry it.”

Reviewed in Australia on 12 August 2021

Adam is trying to fit into a new school and a new team. He’s just joined Moo U (Burlington University) hockey team as a transfer kid. He’s needs to focus on school and skating, with no room for anything or anyone else if he wants his dreams of reaching the NHL to come to fruition. And for some reason he gets stuck doing a theatre class, something he’s not happy about. But there is something good about the class, and that’s Kolby (who works at Vino and Veritas). Kolby becomes his tutor and tutoring sessions quickly develop into something more. Adam wants to keep their relationship quiet but Kolby doesn’t want to be anyone’s secret. And turns out Kolby has plenty of secrets of his own…

Adam and Kolby

Reviewed in Australia on 14 August 2021

I haven't read Moo U but it was cool to get a glimpse of this.

Kolby and Adam, geek and jock but both with hidden depths. They work when you'd expect they wouldn't. Enjoyed this read.

This is another instalment in the V n V world, can be read as a stand alone but honestly you want to read them all.

Perfect romance via a zigzag route

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2022

One is confident, has supportive family and is also nervous. The other is the same but with no family support for a long time. They both have difficult histories, but they eventually, after several twists and turns, make it to a HEA that at times looks impossible. Sweet, sexy and hot. romance via a zigzag route

Moo U meets V&V

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 August 2021

Verified Purchase

Having never read anything by this author I was extremely impressed as to how well she combined both Moo U and Vino & Veritas. Kolby is an ex mormon, drama student who was abandoned by his family when he came out as gay. Adam is a hockey player who has just transferred to Moo U and when these two meet the chemistry is instant even if it does take them a while to act on it. Such a magnificent , beautiful book that I look forward to reading many times.

Adam & Kolby

Really cute and fun and loving story! I enjoyed reading this book.
Adam is new at Moo U, and needs to focus on school and hockey! So there’s no room for fun , right? But there comes Kolby, ray of sunshine! Can Adam resist?

Went off the rails @ 87%

Reviewed in the United States on 31 August 2021

Verified Purchase

I was really loving this story until about 87%

******SPOILERS******
From the last misunderstanding to the end did not sit right with me. Hannah and Kolby made a HUGE mistake and neither apologized to Adam (Kolby finally did but @ 91%) Hannah never did and instead twisted it all around so that Adam felt guilty for feeling angry and betrayed. Then the story continues with Adam being in the wrong and trying to make a grand gesture for forgiveness…. WTF!?! Actions have consequences, when someone cannot keep a confidence, especially one that could impacts someone’s future, they should be held accountable, not just be able to twist things around and go skipping off into the sunset. The ending totally ruined the book for me.
