Mistakes from the past, feelings denied, and a career on the rise may doom their relationship before it has a chance. K. Vale pens a wonderful, contemporary romance with humor and heat in Hard Act to Follow, Book 3 of her GLBT series, Shooting Stars. Enjoy the twists and turns as best-friends-turned-lovers fight old fears to find new love and their happily-ever-after. Kyrie is an actor with a physical aversion to telling lies, a one-eyed cat, and horrible taste in men. His ex-brother-in-law and best friend, Greg, harbors a secret crush he can't shake. After denying his feelings for Kyrie for too long, Greg finally gives in to desire one drunken night. Come the morning, the facts get twisted. Kyrie pretends he doesn't remember a thing--a lie that eats him alive--and Greg can't stop thinking about how he screwed up the best thing in his life. Before they can clear the air, Kyrie follows his dreams to New York City, but could he also be running away? A mistake from Kyrie's past detonates their silence, and Greg is forced to confront the man he loves. Is their new truth strong enough to support a relationship, or are they doomed to crumble under old fears? Their friendship could evolve into something a million times stronger, but maybe Kyrie's act is just too hard for Greg to follow. Content Notes: Hot, Anal Play, Anal Intercourse… (más)

Hard Act to Follow is the third book in the ‘Shooting Stars’ series. Kyrie and Greg are the MC’s and first appeared in, ‘Double Takes.’ Even though the MCs from book two make an appearance in this one, I think this can be read as a stand-alone. The story is told in third person from Kyrie and Greg’s pov.



Kyrie dreams of being an actor. He’s outgoing, flamboyant, tends to be self-centered and selfish, and has a secret crush on his ex-brother-in-law. So much so, that he’s trying to get his sister Jaz, back together with Greg so that Greg and he can still hang out together. He’s part African-American and Asian. Greg is a lawyer. He works so hard at his company that it affected his marriage to Jasmine and they divorced. It was an amicable divorce. But both are annoyed with Kyrie who’s still trying to get them back together. From the description of Greg in the book, he’s Irish. Pale skin, red hair and he calls himself ‘Caucasian.’ He’s big, broad, like a linebacker. Greg has a bad crush on Kyrie also, but doesn’t intend on making a move because he still hangs out with Jaz and Kyrie’s family and he believes his work wouldn’t approve. So nothing happens until one drunken night when Kyrie seduces Greg, who is very willing.

From the description of the characters in the book, I have to say that the cover doesn’t match the characters appearances at all. I couldn’t figure out which was which, but figured the guy in the suit was Greg. He in no way looks like the description. And the guy in the foreground, looks like he’s in his thirties, not around twenty-four, and I don’t remember Kyrie having a beard or mustache. The contradiction between the descriptions and the images conflicted in my mind throughout the story, especially every time Greg’s ginger hair was described. I wish the cover image versus the characters description hadn’t taken away my enjoyment of the story, but it did.

The editing was pretty good, I didn’t really notice any glaring errors. The writing was smooth just like in the previous book, although I did like the plot line better in book two than in this one. There were the typical miscommunications and assumptions of what the other MC thought which could have been easily solved if Greg and Kyrie just spoke to each other. Instead, Kyrie goes into drama mode which creates one of the angst points. Another thing I didn’t like was that Kyrie outed Greg to Kyrie’s family at the end. He was so anxious for them to know that they were a couple he kept insinuating through comments until Jaz and their mother figured it out. I’m really against someone outing another person and I think Kyrie was selfish and wrong. He should’ve discussed it with Greg and let Greg explain while supporting him.

I’m sure that some people will dislike the idea that Greg became the boyfriend of Kyrie after being married to Jaz. I agree it’s kind of weird, but it didn’t seem to bother the family and I guess that’s all that matters, although I think to be more realistic someone should have said, ‘this is odd, give me a little time to get used to the idea.’ And then I think the situation would’ve been more realistic to swallow. Me, personally, I think I’d be wondering if Greg went out with Kyrie because he had some sort of kink on getting together with siblings.

I enjoyed Hard Act to Follow. It was a fast, easy read with smooth writing. I wasn’t keen about the typical miscommunications and the quick way that Kyrie’s family accepted him dating Greg after Greg had been married to Jaz, it didn’t seem realistic. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but comparing this story with book two, I prefer book two. I give this story 3 Stars.

This book was provided for free by the author in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great continuation to the series! I have to admit that I loved the other books best, but Kyrie and Greg really grew on me. I got nervous as I started seeing angst at only 25% in, but it was handled beautifully. I really liked the challenges these guys faced (Spencer and his drama) and the way they worked through it once they decided to actually start communicating (men! lol). I would have liked a little more reaction from the family If they aren't surprised, why not?. Otherwise, this was a great addition to the series. I really loved seeing Gio again, too. :-) I highly recommend this continuation to the other two awesome books. K. Vale has quickly become one of my favorite authors and will definitely watch for more stuff from her. ( )
