Kent and Marcus have been together for two years, Kent is a good looking cowboy who makes Marcus’s blood boil just by looking at him. Kent is the owner of Kent’s Market and Marcus works for him and he is also Kent’s lover. Marcus is a young man who just wants to be loved by his very own cowboy, Kent. Marcus is a lovey dovey type guy, while Kent is a man who wants to run his business and have a little nip tuck every now and them but lately he’s been nipping a little too much. Marcus doesn’t feel like he’s being loved like he should, he’s tired of fast sex with no meaning, no cuddling, no kisses. One day a stranger is noticed in the barn, the stranger has a name, his name is Luke and Marcus is not letting this man get away!

What a great story, the sexual tension between Marcus and Luke alone had me panting like I was in labor. I was screaming for ice chips! I could see the fire in Marcus’ eyes and as he looked at Luke, these two wanted to touch, kiss, and make love every time they were in reach of each other. Like a moth to a flame they burned so good for each other. Kent has some good days but not enough, with his drinking and not really wanting Marcus. Talking about torn between two lovers, Marcus loved Kent in his own way because he had given him a place to stay, food on the table, basically Kent did what he was supposed to do without the love mixed in. I’m sure Kent loved him in his own way but it wasn’t enough for Marcus. Luke on the other hand had the kisses, the touches, the conversation, the hot tantalizing, liquid fire lovemaking for him and he just couldn’t give that up, could he? NO! Ms. Snyder gets you all hot and bothered and then gives you the goods to back this story up to make you want to read this story over and over again. You get your love, drama, stolen kisses and a whole lot more to keep you reading until it says. The end!

CLICK TO PURCHASE A chance meeting at the local gym has Vic Braunson longing for hottie Matt diLorenzo in a more intimate way. After months pass, Vic gets his chance again at Matt and sparks fly between them. After finally consummating their relationship to the next level, Vic wakes up with some powers he never had before and frankly, scares the pants off of him. Now Vic wants to know what the heck is going on and is Matt keeping something from him? Can this relationship survive the tension that is coming between Vic and Matt?

THE POWERS OF LOVE is a great story about new loves, strange powers and a connection between partners that goes beyond the heart. This is the first book of J. M. Snyder’s series that I read and thoroughly enjoyed the beginning of Vic and Matt’s love story. I was really into the way these two main characters connected from the start and this author definitely delves into their heart and souls as they connected in all ways and then some.

Meet Vic Brauson, a man with a bald head and many tats who drives the city bus routes every day. A chance meeting at a local gym has him almost acting like a teenager with a crush. Then months later he reconnects with Matt and man, the heat gets turned up and frankly, by the time these two characters came together and consummated their relationship, I was ready to combust from all the sexual tension between them. Each character is sweet and multi-layered. They definitely give the reader a chance to grow with them and to explore the beginnings of a new relationship. They click with the reader and you find them haunting you after the last page is read.

With the beginning of J. M. Snyder’s series, THE POWERS OF LOVE is a delight to read and it definitely captures the readers’ imagination with witty comments, tight writing and a fast pace that will keep you guessing at what happens next for these two as well as what the heck is happening to Vic. I highly recommend this book to enjoy on a cold snowy night as the twists and turns plus hot steamy sex scenes keep you warmed up and engrossed for hours. I look forward to reading the continued adventures of Matt and Vic in the following books from JM Snyder. This is definitely on my “to keep” pile now.
