This book was indescribably fantastic. Harper Fox just wrecked me with this book!!!I ADORED "Life After Joe". In only 100 or so pages it packed an emotional punch that rivals any book that I have ever read.Matt has been in a tailspin since his partner since childhood left him for a woman. Meaningless sex, non-stop drinking; life is a blur for Matt at the moment. Only the green eyes of a reticent stranger at a bar seen to draw Matt out from his haze of misery. Aaron seems perfect to Matt; intelligent, gorgeous and a beacon of hope. But is Aaron as wonderful as he appears or is he keeping something from Matt as well?Instantly, from the beginning of this book, I connected with Matt. I got right into his head space. I felt so entwined with him. Wow, did Harper Fox do an amazing job. For example, that blowjob scene in the bar... just wow. How did Harper Fox write such beautiful prose that was just exploding with emotion, yet get the gritty, base essence of that scene. I was just so there. I had tears pricking at the corners of my eyes for the whole story. The intensity was present throughout and I could focus on nothing else around me as the story played out. The story as a whole really really worked for me (if you can't tell!!).I could have used more at the end, to be honest. I wanted Matt and Aaron's story to continue. However, that is just me being greedy. I think the story is perfect as is and I will add this book to my favorites shelve.
