The Powers of Love by J.M. Snyder is a homoerotic fantasy/superhero story.

Vic Braunson first met Matt at the gym, but he quickly found out that Matt was dating his co-worker and off limits. This didn’t stop Vic from trying to talk with him, inviting him out for drinks, and just watching him. Matt is everything Vic ever wanted- beautiful, smart and kind. Vic lives for just his smile until the oppurtunity opens when they breakup. Unfortunately, Vic can’t find Matt, but his feelings for Matt continue until fate finally turns and once again Matt and Vic meet. Vic can’t believe someone like Matt could want someone like him, tattoos, biker image and tough looking as he is. When they finally come together it is like the fourth of July and every holiday rolled into one big bang. This is when reality for Vic takes a turn and the impossible all of a sudden becomes an everyday occurrence. What is happening to Vic and will this affect his relationship with Matt?

Ms. Snyder has created a unique twist on the idea about someone gaining powers way beyond the norm. Vic is your average guy who may look rough and tough, but underneath he just wants what everyone else wants- to be loved. Once Vic begins to manifest these powers, he feels what most people would, scared that he could loose the most important thing in his life Matt. Matt is a man of mystery who on the surface is a handsome and kind man, but underneath he has much, much more to him. To find out more, please read this book. I will be waiting to read more about the lives and adventures of Vic and Matt. Thanks goes to Ms. Snyder for the start of what looks to be a wonderful series.
