Harper Fox's writings are works of art. Lyrical, soulful, emotional, haunting, vivid. Half Moon Chambers is just that. Such a mystical title but so fitting when you find out what it represents. This cold northern city of Newcastle with its melancholic, at times bleak, atmosphere is so right as a setting for this story of two so very damaged souls. Vince and Rowan have really hit rock bottoms in their lives. How they pull themselves out of their near abyss of despair and loneliess is one riveting and emotional account. I just could not put this book down until I read the pages telling us these guys are alright. The attraction is almost instant, the romance developing at a breathless pace but so very fitting. These two guys, a broken cop and an equally broken ex-junkie, are two lost souls who somehow connect and now need each other to be whole. As for the sex, it is just right. The underlying plot of police thriller of cops and drug lords add to the tense atmosphere throughout. Harper Fox is exceptional in this MM romance genre and all I can say is that I am so glad she has chosen this genre to tell her stories.
