Cold Fusion

Geez, Harper Fox, did you really have to tear out my heart and stomp on it like that? It's not enough you have a genius MC with Asperger's syndrome, but did you also have to up the ante? with a fast-acting fatal disease? Until the last chapter I wasn't sure you weren't about to pull a John Green Fault Is In Our Stars on me.

Viv might have been an almost too saintly “special person” - he never really showed any anger for what I considered an egregious betrayal by Mal - and his dislike of being touched sure disappeared magically enough whenever Mal was around - but as always Fox delivered breathless romantic tension mixed with danger and a bit of dry humor, which allowed me to suspend my skepticism. I bought Cold Fusion on its release date, January 4, and finished it just a few days later, but it will probably end up as one of my top M/M reads for 2016. Unless Fox releases another book later this year!
