North Star Trilogy
Blurb
Love and family to fight for.
Hugo and Kevin strive to put their lives back together after tragedy, doing everything in their power to create a stable life. Hugo’s acting career is back on track, and Kevin hires a nanny to help with the kids as they discover their new normal. But when Erin’s parents seek full custody of Brooke and Finn, that stability is shattered.
With Hugo working in LA or New York, the distance from his new family gets to him. At home, the nanny’s hands-on approach leaves Hugo feeling pushed out, so he leaves his beloved apartment and eclectic neighborhood behind to move in with Kevin.
Hugo has a hard time fitting in with the suburbanites with Kevin’s passive-aggressive “friends” making Hugo feel anything but welcome. As the custody case heads to mediation, Brooke is bullied about having two dads, and Hugo realizes his mere presence might be doing more harm than good.
Hugo must decide to stay and fight for his family or leave and let them live in peace.
Wow, what an end to the series. If you think that this book is going to be the total HEA from the first page, I can tell you that nothing could be further from this. I too thought that this would be the case, but I was so wrong.
I really did feel for Hugo. He was with Kevin, and they seemed settled in their relationship. However, when Hugo actually gets his break with his acting career, things seem to go awry. He is away from Kevin and the children, and due to this Kevin decides to employ a nanny, and rather than helping it seems to be driving Hugo and Kevin apart.
This is where I really do feel for Hugo, and it does seem like he is being pushed away from the family, almost like they have no need for him now. The emotions are really flowing here, and Posy Roberts did a wonderful job of getting this across in the book. You just really wanted to reach into the book and just hug Hugo especially.
To try and actually feel part of the family, Hugo decides to move in with Kevin and the children, leaving somewhere he feels totally at home. To begin with everything seems fine, but very soon small cracks begin to show, but in some ways it is like Kevin is oblivious to what is happening with his relationship with Hugo.
Hugo is trying hard to fit in with everything, especially with the "friends" of Kevin, but it is not going well. Then thrown in the mix is fact that one of the children is being bullied for having two dads. This makes Hugo really think about the whole situation, and he begins to wonder if he is actually causing more problems for the family, and if they would be better off without him......
This was a fantastic read to bring this series to a close, and as I have said earlier, it does not go the way you think it will. I love how all the emotions are written in this book, and from Hugo, Kevin and even the children. I do wish that this wasn't the end of the series, and I would love to read more about Kevin and Hugo.

Excerpt
Rude Awakening
A sharp knock followed by the doorbell clanging woke Kevin and Hugo. They yanked on last night’s discarded clothes and headed downstairs, Lulu trailing behind, her tail wagging a mile a minute.
When Kevin opened the door, a man he didn’t recognize gave him a nod. “Are you Kevin Magnus?”
“Yes.”
Hugo struggled to scoop Lulu into his arms; she was desperate to meet this stranger.
The man handed Kevin a manila envelope. “You’ve been served.”
“What the hell?” Hugo asked as he shut the door.
“I don’t know. Let’s see.” Kevin opened the envelope and pulled out papers. “Notice of Motion and Motion for Change of Custody,” he read, not believing his eyes. He flipped through the pages, scanning to see what this was really about.
“Erin’s parents are trying to get custody of my kids. No way in hell is that happening. No way in hell.”

Author Bio
Posy Roberts started reading romance when she was young, sneaking peeks at adult books long before she should’ve. Textbooks eventually replaced the novels, and for years she existed without reading for fun. When she finally picked up a romance two decades later, it was like slipping on a soft hoodie . . . that didn’t quite fit like it used to. She wanted something more.
She wanted to read about men falling in love with each other. She wanted to explore beyond the happily ever after and see characters navigate the unpredictability of life. So Posy sat down at her keyboard to write the books she wanted to read.
Her stories have been USA Today’s Happily Ever After Must-Reads and Rainbow Award finalists. When she’s not writing, she’s spending time with her family and friends and doing anything possible to get out of grocery shopping and cooking.
