BOOK BLURB:
The week before Heaven Sent's New Year's performance, Brent fractures his hand, which puts him out of commission for the show. Fortunately, it's not permanent, but it leaves he and Hell dealing with the "what if," not to mention Brent's jealousy of the guitarist taking his place. As the band members and their partners struggle to adjust, the stress brings their personal issues to light:

* Tyler wants to be a parent but he's not sure Johnnie will agree. Johnnie feels the strain in their relationship, but doesn't know how to make it right.

* Luc has gotten a big break in a new movie, but his new co-star wants more than his onscreen love. Reese trusts Luc, but he can't help loathing his leading lady.

* Chris takes a job that will keep him away from Darien over the New Year's. If that weren't bad enough, Chris's new client is his ex, and Darien knows the ex wants Chris back.

Heaven Sent needs more than a miracle to find their happily ever after. It needs...a new beginning..

BOOK REVIEW:
Looking back at the dynamic men who make up the band Heaven Sent and the equally striking men that love them, Genesis is a treat to follow the couples in their happy ever after. When they all gather to play a New Year’s Eve show, their relationships weather common problems plaguing them from jealousy, longing, fear and insecurity but thankfully each connection is strong enough to overcome anything in their path. This welcome look into the future of the men and band is a delightful cap on a wonderful series. For those who have followed the series, they will no doubt adore this wrap up and enjoy the glimpse into a possible future spin off book.

Although in the previous books, the various members of the band were the ones chasing their true love and convincing them that the relationship was real, true, and meant to be; here the author shows each partner coming into their own with confidence. Although Tyler stresses over whether children are in his future with Johnnie, he finally understands how much the lead singer loves him and that together anything is possible. As these two are my personal favorites, I was delighted to see more of their relationship and the continuing devotion that has not waned despite the years together.

Following as close personal favorites are Luc and Reese. Reese is wonderful with his confidence in his relationship with Luc and although he experiences twinges of jealousy regarding Luc’s starlet co-worker, Reese comes to realize what he has with Luc is incredibly special and unique. The scene at the end when Luc answers Reese’s question of “why?” is a poignant moment to the intense and striking couple. Similarly, Hell and Brent are able to step beyond their fears and realize their relationship is more than shared interests and passions. Their commitment to each other is shown as much deeper and stronger than previously explored, setting these two up for a very long future together.

Finally, Chris and Darien are still struggling with Chris’ past but both have their eyes firmly on their future. Darien’s passion for Chris has grown, as has the comfort level of both men with each other and their friends. It was a lovely gift to see these two working past their problems and concerns. Not to mention the hot sex scenes the author wove seamlessly into the plot as well as between the different men and changes in point of view. The final scene was fun and enjoyable, showing the author’s trademark writing and humor with incredibly hot men.

This combination of stories follows similar themes and patterns of the previous books with tight writing and third person point of view as told from the bottom perspective of the relationship. These stubborn and handsome men show the easy going relationships they have within the band and the importance they place on their personal lives as well as their love of music. Even if none of these characters ever make a repeat performance, the author has left them all riding into the fictional sunset with their happy ending sure to satisfy even the most ardent fan.
