Perceived Love by Viki Lyn

When psychic Nate Coleman dreams of a murder, he knows it's a premonition. He can't forget the image of his ex-lover with a bullet hole through his chest. Nate has no choice but to confront William and face the skeptical scientist's ridicule.

Dr. William Ryner doesn’t believe in what he can’t prove. When Nate comes back into his life, it’s not to rekindle their love, but to bring up more of that mumbo jumbo that split them apart.

Despite William’s refusal to listen, Nate can’t ignore the premonition. And, William can’t ignore Nate. Before the gunman strikes, William must choose either to trust in Nate's ability or to rely only on the facts, but if he does the latter, pride could be the death of him.

Erica – ☆☆☆
3.5 Stars
Perceived Love was a quick read – two hours of escapism. The novella focused solely on the couple, with few side characters. Which was a nice change of pace when you just want to read to relax and not get too wrapped up in dozens of characters, angst, and an involved plot. The characters were enjoyable, realistic in action, reaction, dialogue, and emotion. The storyline was solid, and the writing was well-executed.

Second Chance romance between a man with ESP and a doctor. Their original breakup was due to the fact that the doctor couldn't accept that his partner had the ‘gift,’ and I felt this argument very realistic. Science vs Mysticism, coming head-to-head. The synopsis is accurate, so I won't do a play-by-play of the plot.

Was Perceived Love too short, too long, or just right? I thought it just fine the length it is now. I highly doubt it was written to be a saga. However, my rating was based simply on the fact that I wasn't totally engaged while reading, able to put it down and not pick it back up again if it weren't for it being a review book. This may have been my mood, my reading tastes, but not a direct reflection on the author.

Would I read more by this author? Yes. I'm curious to see what else she's written.

Revised/expanded second edition. Since I didn't read the first edition, I cannot compare the differences.

Genre: Second Chance Romance | M/M Romance | Paranormal spin with ESP but not paranormal in nature | Steamy, but not erotic level – there is a prevalent storyline |

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This short, but intense read transports the reader to the glamorous old world charm of Vienna and then right back to the rarefied world of a Californian musician. It is fast paced, but as a second time romance that works well too. I loved the descriptions of the body art and the pleasure that it brought to both men. It is hot, romantic and passionate... and it left me wanting more – which is always a good sign!

Rainbow award winner Viki Lyn is a successful writer of sexy gay romance. Sparked by a keen interest in yaoi, also known as Japanese Boys Love manga, she began her own love affair with m/m romance. After reading and collecting whatever she could get her hands on, she wrote her first man-love romance in 2009. Her stories are an eclectic mix, but it is always the romance that drives the story to its final happily-ever-after.

A native of California, Viki travels the world in search of inspiration, but calls Arizona home. She shares her beautiful adobe home with her wonderful husband and favorite man (fictional or real).
