Fantastic Second Chance Story
Spark By Posy Roberts
Genre: Contemporary Romance, GLBTQ, MM
Released: June 23, 2018
Publisher: Labyrinth Bound Press
Series: North Star, Book 1
Cover Design: Olive Us Designs
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.

Fantastic Second Chance Story
I’ve got a thing for second chance romance stories and this one is fantastic. Spark is the first of three books in the North Star trilogy. I wouldn’t exactly say that Spark ends on a cliffhanger – it doesn’t really – it’s more of a HFN (happy for now). However, we know that Kevin and Hugo’s story continues on in books 2 and 3 (coming soon).
Spark is the first book I’ve read by Posy Roberts and what a way to be introduced to her writing. Hugo and Kevin were best friends in high school and then became something more. When they left to go to different colleges they drifted apart but neither ever forgot their first love.Fast forward 17 years and Kevin and Hugo meet again at a party. Read the blurb/synopsis for more details.
It’s hard for me to describe how much I loved this story; it gave me goose bumps while reading it. I can’t even imagine loving someone the way they did and then letting the relationship drift away. The joy they eventually find after meeting up again just radiated off of the page.
Posy Roberts has written the first act in a beautiful love story and I can’t wait to read more about Kevin and Hugo in the next two books. Fusion comes out in late July and Flare in late August.
This book is a re-release; originally published by Dreamspinner Press.

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.
