by Harper Fox
Moments of gut-punch and WTH interspersed with some mental wanderings of the babbling variety. Thank goodness Matt meets Aaron, because the other people in his life just suck. I would have liked a touch more overall development. Good story though.
Back when I was still feeling optimistic about Scarp Metal I bought this novella on a Valentine’s Day sale. Then I lost my optimism and I had this ebook lingering on my Kindle. Again, at first, I thought maybe I hadn’t made such a huge mistake after all. Fox will never be one of my favourite authors...
"I didn’t know what I was to Aaron, but to me, he was—oh God, so much—warmth and life, proof I could, despite all post-Joe expectations, find it in my heart to fall in love again."“Come in. For God’s sake, come in and…f*ck my brains out.”He put his hands on my shoulders again.“I’ve done a lot of stu...
Oh yes!Why haven't I read Harper Fox already? (Thanks Plainbrownwrapper for giving me that boot in the ass.) She's been sitting in my TBR shelf for too long. And it wasn't even this book.

3.5 starsMatthew has his life shattered when his lover, Joe, decided to pursue a life of heterosexuality, complete with a wife. He tries to comfort himself by drinking and having sex with people he doesn't even remember in the morning. His life is going down the drain -- until he catches the eye of ...
It would have been a 4-star rating for this one as it starts off very well. However, the too over-egged ending very much lets it down, and I also think the two men have conversations with each other that no UK man, gay or not, would ever have! However, at her best, this author does write well, and w...
