With two exceptionally well developed and engaging main characters and four dogs who have personalities to rival the protagonists, we’re off and running on an adventure of romance, mystery, and murder.

Life After Joe
Harper Fox
Publisher: Carina Press

Dear Reader:
I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this one up. However, it wasn’t long before I found myself thoroughly immersed in the world of Matt, Joe and Aaron.

Life After Joe is told from the first person POV giving us a very intimate look at a man who has lost the one person he has spent his life loving.  When Joe leaves Matt after almost a lifetime together, Matt is left to pick up the pieces of his life and start anew.  What follows is a downward spiral of emotional pain and self-degradation that almost brings Matt to his knees. It’s when Matt meets Aaron that he begins to see a glimmer of hope and a life after Joe.

From J.R. Ward to Nora Roberts and from Colleen Gleason to Jayne Ann Krentz  there are so many of our favorite authors who have alter-egos. I’m wondering how many there are and maybe you can help me out.
