A love story with a seventeen-year intermission.

Hugo Thorson fell in love when he was sixteen. He’s maybe been in love since, but probably not. He’s been too busy directing plays to devote much time to men who can’t accept all of him. No one ever made him feel like his first love did.

Kevin Magnus married a woman and has two children, but the marriage wasn’t happy. In the shadow of divorce, he’s striving to be a better father, but he’s still a work in progress.

When Hugo and Kevin bump into each other at the lake, memories of their last kiss incite a new first kiss. Visions of the life they always wanted are vivid, but so much stands in the way of their dreams. Hugo is out and proud but no one knows Kevin’s bisexual. If Kevin comes out, he risks losing custody of his kids. If he doesn’t walk hand in hand with Hugo, he risks losing the love of his life.

The curtain may never rise on their second act.

What I will say first of all, is that this is a HFN, and you will need to read Fusion and Flare (books 2 and 3) in this trilogy, to complete the story - I can't wait to see what happens next. 

When we first meet Kevin and Hugo, they are both young, and it seems like it takes a while before they realise that they may be best friends, but there are other feelings there too.  Feelings that Kevin keeps well hidden, so afraid of what will happen if his father finds out about them.  Kevin's father comes across as very controlling and worse.  He makes the decisions of where Kevin will study and what he will study too. 

Hugo's life is so different, his father is ill and it really does take a toll on Hugo.  He is devastated when his father dies, and turns to the only person who he thinks will understand, and that is Kevin.  By chance, Kevin is able to comfort Hugo, and things do get hot and heavy between them. 

The two lose contact when they go to different colleges, and although it seems like Kevin has moved on as he is married and has children, Hugo just couldn't forget Kevin.   

When Kevin and Hugo meet again, the old feelings soon come rushing back for both of them, but Hugo may be out and proud, but Kevin has never told anyone that he is bisexual, plus add into this a secret that Hugo has and things are destined never to run smooth.  

We are then taken on a journey with Kevin and Hugo, and how they both realise that there are feelings that will not go away, but Kevin is technically still married, and there are his children to think about.  It is not going to be an easy journey, and you really do go through the mill with them both, knowing exactly how each other is feeling.  Is what they are feeling strong enough to survive what fate has in store for them? 

If you like reading series, then this is a brilliant first book to read, but if you wish to devour in one sitting, then wait until all three are out and then spend your day living through the trials and tribulations of Hugo and Kevin in one sitting - I can guarantee that I will reading this series again.

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.
