Review: Fusion

Fusion by Posy Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow. After the first story, I wasn’t sure about Kevin and Hugo. And the ending with Kevin’s ex-wife left me wondering where the story was going to go. While the first book was good, I wasn’t as invested in it, but this second book pulled me in.

This book is such an emotional rollercoaster. There is every emotion is there. Laughter, joy, fears, sadness, anger and pain. And the story is written so you feel every emotion right along side every one of the characters. And I did need tissues at various places in the book.

This is so beautifully written. The characters have such a real life feel to them. You watch as all of them grow as individuals and as a family. If you read book one, read this one. It is so worth it. And now I need the last chapter of Hugo’s and Kevin’s story, I can’t wait to read it.

Review: Spark

Spark by Posy Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m having a hard time with this review. Although I loved the story told here, getting a second chance at love, I had trouble with how much Kevin hide himself from his dad and the rest of the world. I found him a bit selfish in the beginning, as in wanting to have his cake and eat it too. He wanted Hugo but wasn’t going to give up trying to please his dad. So, he dated girls and did what dad expected him to. Which hurt Hugo. I also had trouble with how fast they both fell back into love with each other, after 17 years and Kevin having been married, with children and never out. Hugo found out about his ex-boyfriend cheating on him, so he’s taken a time out from the dating world. But is ready to jump back in as soon as he meets Kevin again.

And yet as the story develops, you realize what each man has gone through to get them to a point where they know and understand themselves. More so Hugo than Kevin. Kevin is still a work in progress, dealing with the issues left from the ghost of his dad. You feel for Kevin, as he tries to balance children, work and he need for Hugo, along with the real though of having to express his bisexuality to the people in his world.

Hugo has a few secrets of his own, and one is named Miss Cherrie Pop. He understands the caution Kevin is using, so he fears a little how will Kevin react to Hugo doing drag? (On a note, I didn’t care for Ginger and what she did on stage. Not her tale to tell, ever.)

As with all of this author’s stories, it’s well written. The characters are very human, with all of foibles most of us have. It keeps you turning the pages. She has seamlessly combined Hugo’s and Kevin’s history with their present-day story. I do agree with another reviewer, it does end a bit abruptly. I am looking forward to the next part of the story.

Review: Ghost Hunted

Ghost Hunted by B.L. Maxwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you love the ghost hunting shows, you’ll love this story. The author did an amazing job of building the suspense and making you feel things that go bump in the night. The further you read, the more goose bumps you get.

Jason and Wade have always been best friends. And no matter how much Wade wishes for more, he’s content to leave it at that if it means he get to keep Jason in his life. Even putting up with Jason’s obsession with all things ghost and hunting them. Even if it scares the heck out of him. It was fun watching the guys as they both realize that they wanted more from each other.

This is a fairly new author, so I did find a few minor things, that are growing pain type things. Things that will get better, the more stories they write. Not real big things. That said, they have amazing potential. The plot was very will done. You kept turning the pages to see what was going to happen to the guys next. So, I am looking forward to the next book by this author, seeing where they take the guys in the next ghost story.
