Powder & Pavlova by Jay Hogan

5.0

Lovely. Blubbed for every word between 83-88%, every bloody word.
This story deals with overcoming grief in many forms and the lengths people go to to protect themselves from that hurt. Ethan & Kurt are dealing with the loss of their mother, an immediate and intense hurt. Into this comes Tanner, older, more put together, except Tanner is still running from the grief of his career-ending injury 14 years ago.
Despite the subject matter I found this a light read (apart from that 5% of impending separation that I could barely read through my tears), funny in places, definitely hot (Ethan and Tanner caused sparks in the bedroom), with a great sense of place. The conflict was real with understandable reactions on both sides (even though I wanted to slap Ethan on occasions).
Can't wait for the sequel.
