Dear Reader:
Some things go together naturally, like a lock and key, a needle and thread, or a cup and saucer. Then there are those things that are unique and stand alone; they shouldn’t be paired with anything else. But every once in a while opposites can be paired—for example, peanut butter and chocolate.

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.
