This is a FoxTales edition of the book Cold Fusion previously published by Samhain Publishing. Other than the cover, this edition is the same as the previous version.

Mallory is on the run from his whole life. He's been working for an environmental activism group, but he's out of control, trying to wipe out the memories of a tough childhood in his efforts to save the planet. When an accident at sea costs the lives of his colleagues, he crash-lands back in his hometown in the far north of Scotland, lonely and at rock-bottom.

It's the last place on earth he expects to find comfort or friendship. But a strange young man is hard at work in the abandoned craft village where Mallory used to take refuge. He's compellingly gorgeous. It takes Mallory a while to get him talking, and when he does, he thinks his new friend is delusional. Vivian believes he's mastered the technique of cold fusion in his makeshift lab a semi-mythical source of free energy which could change the world.

To Mallory's astonishment, Vivian convinces him. And others have been convinced too - malevolent powers who wouldn't think twice about killing Viv to get at his discovery. He's brilliant, but completely unworldly. All Mal can do to protect him is take him on the run.

They're a wildly mismatched pair. Thrown together in the teeth of danger, they bond despite their differences. Soon Mal knows there's nothing he wouldn't do to save Viv, and attraction springs up between them like fire. But Mal is up against an enemy within, and Viv's time is running out...

Cold Fusion edition by Harper Fox Literature Fiction eBooks

Though the bare bones of the story could have been ok, and the author normally writes well, everything was "too".
It was too much. Everything happened too fast. There were too many similes. The drama and resolution were too extreme. The descriptions and wording were too florid and poetic. Mallory was too gullible, too stupid, too clueless, too self centered, too reviled, too rejected, too alone. (Which mostly just engendered indifference to him). He was written as too much of an emotional boy at 25, while Cressida was too mature for a sheltered 18 year old schoolgirl. She was described as a lioness too many times. Alan was too obvious, too transparent, and his storyline too predictable, except for the end, which was nonsense. The second act in the cottage was unlikely and the sex so non-stop. So many plot holes: If Vivian inherited the money and assets and Cressida the land, how is she then the investor and benefactor, why would the oil companies take a break from trying to kill him for solving cold fusion? And, Mallory's last scene with Alan and its aftermath is the most preposterous of all (and it was hard to top that third act!). I was just wtf and shaking my head by the end. It seemed like just a bunch of over the top random plot points a student might throw together for an assignment. Which makes me wonder if it was just a formula project designed to appeal to a specific target audience.

Cold Fusion edition by Harper Fox Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews


Harper Fox is an auto-buy author for me, so you can assume that I typically like her work, but I think this book is even better than usual.

I'm really loving the trend toward realistically drawn autistic characters in fiction, and particularly in romance fiction. Harper Fox does a lovely job of showing Vivian's quirks without dehumanizing him or making him a caricature; his characterization rings very true to me. Kier Mallory feels very real, as well, with his survivor's guilt and his self-doubt, and I love that he accepts Vivian for who he is, even if there are some missteps along the way. Neither Vivian nor Mallory is perfect, but they both learn and grow and become greater together than they were apart.

The science is probably impossible — it's even acknowledged as such within the story, while somehow still working — but the science isn't really the point; this is old-school speculative fiction that asks "what if?" and spins off from there, turning into a suspenseful tale of betrayal, conspiracy, and murder...and of love found in the most unlikely of places.
Beautiful and bleak. Harper Fox is a hell of a writer. This rates as high as her novels "Scrap Metal" and "Brothers of the Wild North Sea," which I absolutely adored.

I think what makes Fox such an unusual writer for the genre is that she goes for the dark stuff. She puts her characters in bleak Northern settings, and it's nature as much as anything else that pushes them together. The writing is gorgeous and lyrical, the sex is very hot. An element of danger surrounds the lovers.

This was almost more of a thriller than a romance. It took a while for the lovers to get together. Viv's illness (not the Aspergers) was a surprise to me and it overwhelmed the second half of the book, but in a good way. I wish I could have really "seen" Mal. I certainly felt him. That's the thing about her prose--you stay deeply in the head of the main character. I think I saw Mal as weaker and wimpier than he was, just because he seemed so broken and fragile internally. But then all the other characters seemed to think he was gorgeous, which confused me a little. Put it this way, Fox goes deeply into areas where other writers would pause (the dysfunctional relationship with the father, for example). It deepens the story but runs the risk of losing the reader's sympathy. Mal's reaction to his father's death, for example, was borderline callous, as was his snobbish mother's. I loved the description of North Kerra in all its joylessness and isolation. The Aunt Lil part, too, was strange...yet somehow worked.

The ending, with everything restored, is almost too perfect. I'm actually not sure I liked or believed the ending. And yet...my experience of reading this book was such a deep pleasure. I have to give it five stars for its heat (ironically), intensity and unusual nature.

A story that stretched the boundaries of facts and acceptance, but the descriptive prose was so beautiful and the setting so compelling that I didn't care. I just enjoyed the tale. It kept me entertained. Sometimes I just ignore the flights of fancy in a story line and let the book take me where ever it wants to go.

My heart would have had to be stone not to respond to this terrain, sleet-whipped or not. It was tundra country, cut down by the wind to bare bone, but here granite bedrock began to give way to the clean clay and sand of the machair, and I wasn't too late to catch the year's final show. The turf was still starred with pale harebells and buttercups. There wasn't a building in sight, and outside of Kerra village itself, there probably never would be. Here time stopped, and those who'd created a niche for themselves hung on to the farming and fishing traditions playing out their last songs,m while their children fled in search of prosperity elsewhere.

I am a sucker for British stories especially those set by the sea.
