Posy Roberts October 5, 2014 Book Beat

Rainbow Award Joy

I woke up this morning to the wonderful news that Fusion is a Rainbow Award Finalist in the Bisexual Romance category. I was already buzzing about when my friend, Tina Blenke, PMd me asking if I knew that Flare was also in Round 3 for Best Cover. Seriously?

So, it’s been a pretty good morning, at least until I had to help the kid with her homework. 😉

To vote for best cover, click here. There are a lot of beautiful covers, but I’m still in love with what Anne Cain did for Flare.

And please don’t mind me while I squeeeee.

The Love is Obvious

Feathers From The Sky is a great holiday short story. The love in that small house with so many people crammed inside was obvious.

Great Backbone

This is a hot, hot short with a great backbone…

Bike Book Review

A charming story with a relevant message for today

I loved this story, how transparent the characters were, and how real the tent city became for me. I recommend this to anyone who could use a smile and perhaps some inspiration of their own.

Sharonica Logic

Outstanding series!

I wanted to live in their world because through all the bad, they persevered and found the good, and it really is a series about the power of love. Outstanding series! One of the best by far.

Flashbacks made this book special

They give a full picture of the history, with a ton of sweet moments and even a bit of heartache and angst, but explain the connection between the men. This allowed me to really feel as if I knew them, and made me cheer for them to find their way to a life together, despite the many obstacles they have to face.

I FLOVED IT!

This book was a really good read full of free love and hot sex. I honestly can’t say that I have ever read a book like it before and now I cannot wait to read the next in the series!

A Lot Beneath the Surface

Farm Fresh is gorgeous, and the emotional impact will leave you gasping and aching for more.

Realism

Beck’s grieving process was pretty much spot on […] and the realism in Robert’s writing really impressed me.

Surprises & Twists

It is a really cute little story that will rock your world. I always did love surprises and little twists to my stories. Posy worked it perfectly and I can say that this was one of my favorite Christmas stories to date.

Hot barely covers it

Posy Roberts always effortlessly draws me into her stories. Her characters tend to be charming and fascinating, her descriptions are vivid and the dialogue sparkles. And when it comes to the sexy times…hot barely covers it.

Baked to Perfection

This was cuteness and drama poured into a sweet comedy of errors crust, baked to perfection by crispy-fresh writing. A real holiday treat!

Hope

This book was not what I expected at all, in the best possible way. I feared a book filled with angst and despair but got a story about determination and hope.

The Way She Reads

Hope and second chances

This book is about one of the greatest losses that we may encounter. The loss of ourselves, of our identity, but it is also a book about hope and second chances. It is a book full of hope and optimism. Read it because it’s worth it.

The perfect conclusion

This is how every romance should be, real, true, filled with feelings and emotions so powerful I was often left breathless.

I absolutely loved Sebastian and Louis together

I really loved this book and it gave me all the warm feels that I wanted. Louis and Sebastian are sweet and sexy together and the story has a really nice message without being saccharin. I am so glad I picked up this story and can definitely recommend it.

Please do yourself a favor and dive into this series immediately, as the journey is emotional, riveting and awe-inspiring.

Author to Watch

Fall Into You has put Posy Roberts on my list of authors to watch for. Not only did she tell a story that was sexy and dramatic and romantic, but it was also touching and immensely readable.

I Love This

The author captures the feel of a noisy, active family, close-knit and loving, all up against each other for the holiday get-together.

I am sad to see this series end. But, Posy Roberts ended it absolutely exquisitely. Radiantly Recommended.

Uplifting

It’s a lovely uplifting short story, with realistic main characters who gained my sympathy and affection. Ethan’s family members are super too.

Gay Book Reviews

Lily

Extensive character growth

Picked Fresh is a tremendously gratifying story that shows extensive character growth and development, giving us a much deeper look into not just Hudson and Jude

Making it Happen

Sizzles

Their sexual chemistry pops and sizzles…

Gay Book Reviews

A beautiful tale

A beautiful, deeply moving tale of people joining together to help ease the pain of ravaging life events. In doing so, they break the traditional views of what constitutes a “family” and become shining examples of love and acceptance. I highly recommend both books in the North Star series, and I look forward to reading the next installment with great anticipation!

fresh, organic, unique

This book fit its title so perfectly—it was fresh, organic, unique, just a delight to read. I’d be hard pressed to say what I loved most about it–the setting, the characters, the writing…

Dog-Eared Daydreams

Feel-good

A very charming feel-good love story about finding your true self and getting a second chance at love.

Goodreads

Tanja

Beautiful, angsty book!

This was a book about living. Posy has a knack of writing rip your heart out stories. She mends them and put them back, don’t worry. But getting through this book with dry eyes is not possible! Beautiful, angsty book!

Diverse Reader

I loved their story

…feelings of hope and of loss and so much uncertainty, but they do eventually find their way.

I thoroughly recommend!

This was a fantastic hurt/comfort story, emotional, sweet, angsty, hot, with awesome main and secondary characters and a very strong plot that I’m sure will remain with me for a long time.

A great book to take to the beach or curl up in your favorite chair this fall.

Sandra

Felt So Real

This is not your usual romantic story. It goes way beyond that. I had the impression I was there, in the book, living in alongside Gil and Keith. They felt so real, their story felt real and I’m sure that, for someone out there, this is not a story at all.

Mikky's World of Books

Electric chemistry

Cas and Marc’s chemistry is electric. If you are a reader who is a fan of hot man-on-man action, Stroke of Luck is worth reading just for the window scene!

Feel-Good Christmas Read

Feathers From the Sky is a fabulous story of love and acceptance. It’s a short and sweet, heartwarming and feel-good Christmas read.

Amy's MM Romance Reviews

Another Ace

Beautifully written, poignant, emotional, and sexy. It was not as ‘light’ as Spark – which it obviously couldn’t be, due to the subject matter – but, was every bit as enjoyable.

A feel good read with a lot of substance

I just adored this book. I really liked the characters, I found them so believable and loved watching their relationship develop. It’s not a long book, but it packs a heck of a punch. I highly recommend!

Close to Perfection

I loved this!!! For a second installment, despite the heavy topic and the pain and the drama that ensued, this book was as close to perfection for me as possible.

Fabulous

This book is fabulous. The characters are fantastic. The storytelling is sublime. There isn’t anything about it that’s too much, or too little. It’s just…wonderful.

I LOVED these books, guys.

This series is fantastic, and I fell head over heels for these characters – Hugo especially. Flare is the final installment in the trilogy, and Posy Roberts couldn’t have done a better job with this ending.

Smoking Hot

A sweet story with some very romantic moments that are also smoking hot.

Amazingly sweet and full of details

I highly recommend this story to fans of quiet, stoic men with poetic hearts and lovers of stories with happy endings.

Open Skye Book Reviews

Morgan

WOW!!

I’ve been waiting for this book since I read Fusion. It was worth the wait!!

Pants Off Reviews

Darien Moya

A realistic look at homelessness

One of the things that really got to me about this book is that it doesn’t glamourize homelessness. Nor does it gloss it over. We get what I think is a realistic look at homelessness, especially when it comes to being a single, gay man.

Hard to Put Down

…this story is so beautifully written, with such amazing characters, that it is hard to put down!

This was such an insightful read!

I have to say that Momo: My Everything is my favorite (so far) and the one I do consider the author at her best. I’m giving this novella five stars.

Dog-Eared Daydreams

The first page was like a sucker punch

[Beck’s] pain palpated from the pages. My tummy was tight and my eyes were wet as I read. It was so….real.

Joy & Heartache

Fusion brings us into the building stage of the relationship and as in real life, this is not always smooth and definitely not always easy. […] I enjoy the way the author gives voice to her characters, allows us to travel along with them as their lives change and experience their great joys as well as heartaches.

Deb

I love…MANTIES!!!

It’s hot, cute and actually quite romantic, as what starts out as just a sex lead thong-a-thon between these two hot guys, turns out, over time, to be quite a sweet romance that ends with a pantytastic HEA.

Sinfully Gay Romance Book Reviews

Macky

Posy Roberts has created a world of brilliance.

This is truly an outstanding story. I carried my Kindle everywhere with me…. All day. I refused to do anything until I finished.

Touching, romantic story

I immediately fell in love with the two characters in this touching, romantic story and can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the North Star series.

Beautifully Told Romance

Fall into you is a beautifully told romance filled with the many ups and downs of keeping a relationship together once the newness has worn off. I really enjoyed every minute of this book, and recommend it to those who love a realistically written read.

2015 Rainbow Award Finalist & Honorable Mention

A great example to show that just because a character isn’t perfect, doesn’t mean they can’t find love and acceptance.

Packs a big emotional punch

Posy creates two simple, real, down-to-earth men who need each other more than they realize, and the relationship between them is really fantastic.

Just Love - Queer Lit Reviews

Totally refreshing!

This story is like taking a refreshing breath. It was beautifully written with very well liked characters. Bringing back the commune era, it brings us to what is happening with our planet right at this day and age, […] It brings back the long lost idea of Peace, Love, and Freedom. Totally refreshing!

Rainbow Awards

Judge

Wonderful!

William and Nate – opposites attract is the perfect saying in this case. William relaxes his strict lines between his work and personal persona’s as he spends more time with Nate (Momo) allowing the relationship to blossom and deepen.

Sad to read the end

I was both excited and a little sad to read this conclusion to Posy Robert’s North Star Trilogy. I have lived through so much with the characters that have become like a fictional family.

Deb

Hugo became my favorite character

[Hugo] could have walked away. He could have simplified his life, focused on himself and his career, and saved a ton of awkwardness, heartache, and strain. But he quickly becomes my favorite character because he does not… I’ve got tears on the edge of my eyelashes as I type that comment, but it is so true.

MM Good Book Reviews

Gigi

Perfect ending

Flare is the perfect ending to Posy Roberts’ North Star Trilogy, as it will leave you enchanted with the way things wrap up in the end. I am thrilled that Posy re-released this series!

Amy

Tender and softly emotional

…this is a story about two people two needed each other building a life together through their ups and downs. It was tender and softly emotional rather than being a wild ride.
