Hope is a spin~off from Non~Friction, it gives us more insight into the lead character Morgan Barker, who at the time was going through a marriage break~up, published a novel and meets another author called Emma. We get to know more about his feelings towards Emma, how things worked out and where things are heading. Morgan is still an accountant and this is where he meets the very forthright and confident HOPE!Hope comes across as a very determined strong woman, I took to her immediately. I’m really ‘hoping’ we get the chance to dig into the skeletons of her closet very soon. I’m certain it will be intriguing and eventful. Morgan P gives us a glimpse of this woman and I’m sure like myself you will form an opinion of her. At the moment I like her but in Morgan’s world that could change with the turn of a page.In Non~Friction Morgan Barker writes a beautiful but sad love story called Our Story which is never published. We got a small peek at this heartbreaking and soul destroying romance. Hope the novella delivers more of it. Fans and friends of Morgan P have begged for more of Our Story so he finally decided to write more and dedicate it to them. He delivered it to us perfectly. It embeds into your soul and sits there, I could feel my soul pulsating when I got lost in the abyss. I got lost a lot and I sped through this novella like it held me glued to the pages. But the story of Oliver and Olivia is not the average romance. It’s forbidden and tempestuous, these two souls are entangled and they truly believe they are meant to live as one.I lived and breathed every single moment. I felt the emotions of all the characters, even down to his favourite coffee shop barista and the way she poured his coffee and showed him a sign! Morgan P’s unique style of writing is rare. He does both POV’s that well you would never know he was male. He can make you smile and he can make you cry and it’s all executed marvellously.Morgan Parker understands and relates to romantic fiction, and his underlying humour is a breath of fresh air. His novels are not OTT in mindless sex, yet he can definitely and confidently create a great sex scene. (I think he may have had help in this department).The scenes are hot and sexy, but the love and bond they share for each other is quite sweet and adorable, therefore it’s realistic. I must say without a doubt he gave me that tingle in all the right places. He’s got a vivid imagination which shines through in all his stories. He’s passionate about his characters and his heart and soul is poured into his work.To sum up. Morgan doesn’t sugar coat life, he writes about the hard knocks and the way we deal with them, because life isn’t just a playground, it’s also a minefield. Hope will give you more from the world of Non~Friction, it will develop and help you understand the characters of Oliver and Olivia and it will guide you into his next novel ‘Sick Day’ where we will begin on Hope’s journey. For those of you who pick up this novella I highly recommend you pick up Non~Friction too.
