BLURB:

I knew I had problems when I woke up in the middle of the night to find Mike Stubbins sitting at the foot of my bed, stark naked, still as gorgeous as every one of my memories of him.

So what’s the problem, I hear you cry? Gorgeous, naked man in my bedroom?

Well, there’s the not-so-small, highly significant detail that he died six years ago.

Yup. You read that right. And now he’s everywhere. I can’t even brush my teeth in peace. And did I mention that he never stops talking?

I’ve missed him like crazy, every day of the six years he’s been gone. And with Christmas coming, the memories are even more acute. But this is getting beyond a joke. Ignoring a naked guy is a pretty tough task, especially when I’m the only one who sees him.

So when he bops a complete stranger on the head with his dick in the middle of the coffee shop, I have to laugh. Anyone would, right?

Except… there’s a look on the guy’s face that tells me he felt that. But… how could he?

And now he’s looking at me like he’s expecting me to explain what just happened.

Either he’ll call for the guys with the straitjacket… or this will be one of the most interesting conversations I’ve ever had….

REVIEW:

I laughed until I cried and then I cried. True K.C. fashion, in making you emotional in these books. But it was so good. It was so funny at times and then it would turn around and smack you with tears. But it’s so worth it. The characters were perfect. Even in their grief, they were human. They were unbelievably broken, but perfect. They made no bones about their grief and trying to cope, and the ghost….*snorts*. You just have to read to find out about him.

For 6 years, Andy has been trying to get on with his life. But it’s hard. He’s basically going through the motions. He knows that. And with Christmas around the corner, he’s just not up to decorating. He’d rather just skip the whole holiday, seeing as that’s when he lost Mike. But just as he’s trying to sleep to get through another day, he wakes to find Mike at the end of his bed. And butt naked. Torpedo staring him dead in the face. And he’s not dreaming. Mike has come back to fulfill a job he has to do. And Andy has no clue what. He just wishes Mike would stop messing with his ‘sausage’ and making him do out of character things trying to ignore him. Like bopping a complete stranger on the head with his dick. But Andy has to deal with the fact that Mike isn’t going away until he’s done what he has to do. Meanwhile, he’s hoping the guy he’s sitting with doesn’t think he’s nuts. Especially when they start hanging out and he tells Ollie the truth.

Grief hits us all different ways. Some days we can be perfectly fine, or so we think, and the next be a bawling mess trying to cope with who we’ve lost. There’s no time frame for it to end. There’s no magic cure to make it go away. It comes and goes. In fact, it never really leaves. It just get easier as the years go by. For Andy and Ollie both, no matter how many years, one 3 and one 6, the grief is still there. They can’t even pack up their partners belongings. Put up decorations. Whatever. They are just moving on in life the best they can. But in each other, they found a friend who gets it. Who understands and doesn’t judge. Who gets that sometimes the silence says a thousand words. But they also had to learn, that it’s ok to move on. It’s ok to feel for someone else. It’s ok to not feel guilt over that either. It’s not an easy thing, it takes time. But one step at a time, things can move forward.

I loved this book. I highly recommend it. You will need tissues, but you will laugh your butt off as well, because Mike is a hoot. Oh my word. So funny. It’s a good story, of love, hope, grief and second chances. It’s a story that will melt your heart.
