About the author
Lou Sylvre
29 books130 followersLou Sylvre loves stories and likes to conjure them into books. When the stories are about love, the sweethearts on her pages are most often men who end up loving each other and likely saving each other from unspeakable danger. As if you’d want to know more, she’ll happily tell you that she is a proudly bisexual woman—a mother, grandmother, and cat-herder (with a dog). Her love of languages is no doubt a result of her interestingly mixed up heritage. Her over-the-top love of her rainbow-colored demi-tasse set cannot be adequately explained. She also loves music coffee, chocolate, and wild roses. As a writer, she works closely with lead cat assistant Boudreau St. Clair. Lou grew up in the Los Angeles area, where barefoot was always best for a kid. She now lives in the lush, rainy part of the Pacific Northwest, and hearing from a reader unfailingly brightens the dismal weather. Her email is louwrites@rainbowgate.com.

5 heartbreakingly beautiful stars! For such a short story this one put me over waay over. I cried oh did I cry. Their love is amazing and Sonnys strength through this is remarkable. I love these 2 men I can't wait for the next book.

Rounding up to five because really, any nits were so not vital to the story. I adore Luki and Sonny, so when I first saw the subject matter of this book, I yelled at Lou. All right, more squeaked in dismay, but Lou, in her kind, gentle way, said that while she wouldn't give things away, she could promise that it would be okay.
It better be, I muttered to myself, after Delsyn and all that anguish in the last book...grumble, grumble, grumble...
But without giving things away...yes. Everything's going to be okay, gentle readers. Yes, I cried. Yes, my heart broke for them and with them and around them, but this book isn't about dying. True to the title, it's about affirmation - the affirmation of will, of love, of choosing life while you can.
There are no bad guys here, no guns, no car chases or harrowing fight scenes. It's a simple story with a simple plot, but told with such sympathy and understanding that it's no less engaging than Luki and Sonny's other stories. The only antagonist here is the cancer, the struggles all internal. I would have liked to have more Sonny, perhaps, but i understand. While Sonny is his rock and his support, this really is Luki's fight.
Lou's spare, simply poetic prose is perfect for the subject matter, never over-explaining, never over-indulging in long passages of angst and self-recrimination. Things are. This is how and what they are. She sets them before us just so, through Luki's eyes and his odd, often detached way of dealing with the world.
"...he gazed at the axial CT images, which was a view from the top down, and made his lung look like an almost egg-shaped hole, and the tumor look like a yolk splatted in the middle of it. Mr. Vasquez, I'm afraid you have a fried egg in your lung."
Yes, I had to work myself up to read this, but I'm so glad I did. Strength isn't always in the physical and courage is sometimes found in something as simple as saying yes.

When I first read and met Luki and Sonny in Loving Luki Vasquez I didn't get the attraction between these two guys. The plot of the first book was lacking to say the least. This novella about Luki dealing with cancer really showcased the guys' relationship. It was nice to read about a couple caring for each other through sickness and health. I really felt the love these guys shared with each other. Their relationship felt very authentic to me.

I already wrote this: I'm totally in love with Lou Sylvre's writing.And I'm in love with Sony James and Luki Vasquez.
I don't know how she does it but It's like I'm just sitting and walking with them all along the story. Their love is so deep. It's so beautiful and romantic, and different. I could read a thousand pages and never get tired or bored.
"Yes" really felt like some kind of magical incantation, I couldn't do anything but turn the pages, utterly bewitched.
You need to add Lou Sylvre's books to your bookshelf. NOW.

Review Courtesy of C. Zampa's Not-a-Review:
http://authorczampa.blogspot.com/2013...
First thing in order is an apology from the Zampster to the author, Lou Sylvre, because I had not read this short story sooner. I had my reasons for holding off on this giant gem of a book, but---now that I braved the emotional waters to read it---I only regret I didn't do it long ago.
I'd been blunt when Ms. Sylvre announced the release of this book. The subject matter---cancer---sent ice through me, scared me. Just prior to the release, I'd lost my son-in-law to cancer and I quickly informed Lou I was pretty sure I wouldn't be touching this book, that I could NOT deal with this issue in fiction. To compound my stance, it just so happened I'm an ardent fan of the characters of this series by Ms. Sylvre----the Vasquez and James series---and here the author was, telling me my favorite character was going to have cancer. No can do. Nuh-uh. Next book, please.
Well, since the author has another new Vasquez and James release coming up, I wanted to prime myself for the upcoming story (titled Finding Jackie), and bite the bullet by reading this short story titled simply Yes.
And my initial reaction after finishing this story? A resounding DAMN!
I seriously doubted----remembering the long emotional journey in watching my son-in-law battle cancer---that a story could efficiently address the complex nature of the illness. The moments from diagnosis to treatment to healing or the unthinkable---death. I was so sure I'd come away from the book with all sorts of points that had been missed. The emotions. The details.
I was wrong.
Somehow, Ms. Sylvre did manage to address this issue so fully, beautifully as I should have expected of her. She's a magnificent author, a gifted wordsmith, a talent I am in awe of. And why I ever doubted her handling of this subject, I don't know.
Luki Vazquez, as his fans have grown to know, is a bad ass. How was he going to handle the big C? How was Sonny, his lover of six years, going to handle it?
For one thing, with an odd sort of Luki-style humor which has become a beloved trademark of Lou Sylvre's writing style.
Remembering the day I sat with my father in the doctor's office when he got his lung cancer diagnosis, I laughed out loud at the truth to this moment with Luki when he is delivered the same news….and made his lung look like an almost egg-shaped hole, and the tumor look like a yoke splatted in the middle of it. Mr. Vasquez, I’m afraid you have a fried egg in your lung. Luki didn’t realize he’d chuckled aloud until Sonny clamped a hand on his shoulder, and he saw a shocked look on the doctor’s face. “Sorry,” he mumbled. “I was thinking about… something….”
True Luki Vasquez. True human. So real. That haze between reality and disbelief.
Chills gripped me. My Luki. But with Sylvre's lovely sense of humor, the scene was put on a realistic, personal level. This fictional character is a real guy, just like you and me.
The most beautiful, poignant, powerful part of this story, though, is Sonny's battling with the illness of the man he loves more than his life.
The confusion, the pain, the hope, the loss of hope, the denial, the helplessness, the protectiveness, the over protectiveness, the craving for sex and intimacy but making do because love is more important than sex, the thought---that awful thought---of maybe losing them forever. The anger because they got sick in the first place.
And---oh, damn---Sylvre even added humor into one of the most base aspects of it. A moment when Sonny worries that Luki has expired in the bathroom...What if Luki died in some laughably compromising position? What if he, the most dignified and contained man Sonny had ever met, was held up for ridicule just for dying wrong?
Luki's illness carries into the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, so very perfectly. I won't say much more, in fear of gushing too much. Although I sure could gush without end.
Luki's Christmas gift to Sonny. A tribute to how very little Sonny really wants from Luki---or should I say how much? Sonny's gift to Luki. Just the ending is reason alone to warrant reading this luscious masterpiece of prose.
And speaking of the ending. Lou Sylvre at it again, weaving this tapestry of words into the perfect ending with the end that ties the whole thing together. And the meaning behind the title, Yes. Ah!
So I apologize, Lou Sylvre. There's a reason you're one of my most beloved authors, why I love your work. You managed to incorporate a full-blown journey, jam-packed with every emotion possible, into this short story.
I should never have doubted you.

I believe I've said it previously, but it bears repeating, I really enjoy a novella in the midst of a series. 'Yes' is exactly that, set between books two and three, and Lou Sylvre did a great job. Of course, she also did something totally mind-boggling by setting this five years in the future and having Luki sick with lung cancer. Really, Lou? You just had to give me heart palpitations and have me practically hyperventilating, huh? No matter. I love these guys and the author.
What I found when I read this novella was it wasn't about the cancer so much as it was about the love, the devotion that Luki and Sonny share. A diagnosis that changes lives is incredibly hard on a marriage, no matter how strong and secure the relationship. Trust me, I know. So, these were new, confusing times and often, couples can fracture from the stress, the anxiety, and they end up losing the most valuable support they have. Certainly Luki and Sonny struggled, as there was anger, guilt, fear, and more anger. Their love never changed, though. Luki might've gotten frustrated at being babied and Sonny got so angry that Luki smoked at all, terrified that he would lose him, but when the chips were down, they were each others’ rock.
A beautiful story about the miracle of love. Thank you, Lou, you made me cry.

Lou Sylvre is an author I'd been meaning to read for some time, and this story confirms why. I must admit when reading it I hadn't read any of the others in the series, but that didn't take away from this one. I followed along no problem, and it's left me with the desire to read more about Sonny and Luki.
I started reading, with the intention of making helpful notes, as one does, but the story sucked me in so completely that the pen and notepad got abandoned very early on so I had to go back and do so later. It's a beautiful story, very emotional, and very much reflects the tapestry of deep love between these guys. This is what love really is, actions and not just words. There's also a sense of poetry about the author's writing style; it flows well and as a reader I sat back and went along for the ride, not wanting to stop until I'd finished.
This is an angsty story, but with the subject material that's a given, but there's a sprinkling of humour to lighten it, plus their personalities lift it from being a story of doom and gloom. This tempers the angst and prevents it from becoming too much for the reader, but also keeps it real as does the terminology used, and the process of what happens. This is a very well researched story and it shows.
Five out of five stars for a story I'd highly recommend.

It was seriously hard to read this one, especially with my personal need for an HEA. I was soo afraid I wasn't going to get it, until I saw there was a book after it LOL. (yep. chickenshite...that's me!)
Anyway, I think that the approach to this serious illness, and the real doubts and depression as well as what Sonny had to go through as the partner of someone almost at the verge of giving up was a realistic and much to be admired story that seemed to reflect how this would be in real life.
Even though it is very sad at times, and hard to read, this little novella just added more depth to the loving relationship I've come to admire so much between Sonny and Luki. There is always a 'give' and 'take' in a relationship, and this one reflects it extremely well. Sometimes its definitely less 50-50, and more 80-20, or vice-versa. That is a reality check for us romance readers.
Sonny and Luki’s relationship goes through some serious fire in this one just to come out the other side the stronger for each other.
If you like to laugh AND cry at the same time, here you go again! Highly recommended series!!!

This is a sweet and earnest story -- and sometimes its earnest, sincere, oh-we-are-dealing-with-Big-Issues-Here tone overwhelms the story. But, overall, it's not a bad addition to the Luki-and-Sonny saga.
I do like Lou's writing, even if it does come across as overly dramatic sometimes. For instance, I loved this passage:
"Sonny blushed the color of fresh-dug beets and stormed back toward the restrooms. Really stormed… righteously stormed. Like he’s pulling thunder and lightning along behind him."
That's a great description. And Lou uses a similarly descriptive, somewhat dreamy tone throughout. There's not really a whole lot of story here -- and many things are skipped over, sometimes (IMHO) to the detriment of the story overall -- but if you liked the other Vasquez and James books, then you should read this one as well. And the author's proceeds are going to cancer research -- so buy it!

Anyone who has read the previous books in this series will know how strong Sonny and Luki's relationship is but in this story it takes all of their strength to keeping going and to keep living and to keep loving. I fully expected to cry at this book, I just didn't expect the tears to start at only 9% in! I don't really have the words to describe how beautiful this story was and I hope it's not the last we see of these two men.
April 20, 2016
Wow! What an amazing journey, Ms Sylvre has taken us on. Yes is one of the best and scariest stories I've ever read and at the same time so filled with love. My heart ached and I cried for what Luki and Sonny went through and in the end I cried some more. Such a truly heartfelt experience. I could try and analyze this book and tell you all the reasons that I enjoyed it so much but I'll leave that to the experts and simply say "WOW...yeah just wow."
June 17, 2013
Wow! Even knowing it would have a positive ending, this was quite an emotionally draining read. Having gone through a lengthy, near fatal illness and recovery with my own husband, I could really relate. The helplessness, anger, frustration, and ultimately relentless determination for both partners to survive felt real, as did the occasional lack of hope and desire to give up demonstrated by the ill partner. AN inspiring story!
August 16, 2013
This story hits close too home for me, also a cancer survivor. I thought the range of emotions displayed by both Luki and Sonny were well written. A serious illness is very hard on not only the sick one, but also the non-sick partner. I've just started reading Finding Jackie, though, and it seems this novella, although written before Finding Jackie, takes place chronologically after that book?
December 30, 2013
Going into this short story...I knew that it would be packed with tons of emotions...but I must say that Ms. Sylvre presented the range of emotions and the varying stages of those emotions that are almost always part of the battle against Cancer in a most realistic way. As always...Luki and Sonny meet the challenge of the day head on...and of course it is not without discord...but then it wouldn't be Luki and Sonny's story if it was all smooth sailing!
July 3, 2013
I just adored this...I wanted to give them both a big hug...what rough subject matter to read, mostly because its so real, it's not anything paranormal or something like crazy drug lords, it's cancer. I loved the writing in this and how Luki and Sonny's relationship has progressed since the last book, and just everything about it.
October 22, 2014
Have enjoyed all the Luki and Sonny books, this was particularly poignant and I am so glad everything finally turned out O.K. for our boys and let's hope they are back to being kick a$$ in the next book!
August 24, 2012
Every time I read about Luki and Sonny I find something I like about them more and more. This 62 page story really packed an emotional and romantic punch. It had me in tears on three separate occasions and I felt a good amount of heartache. It was definitely worth the buy!
September 13, 2012
Absolutely beautiful.
So beautiful and heartfelt and full of so much emotion I cried.

Wow... cried my way through this one last night! Very good, but hard to read.

I cried and cried and cried. I love this series.

*sigh*
Sonny and Luki have gone through so much. And to have this thrown at them brought tears to my eyes. Sonny and Luki's journey in this story was as heartbreaking as it was beautiful.
There's not much I can say about this story. It's just one of those stories that you just have to experience for yourself, especially if you have followed these two from the very beginning. Just trust me when I say that with only 60+ pages of content, this novella packed a hell of a punch.

Read with heart in throat
Even though I knew Luki survived because, after all, there's a sequel, I was so drawn into this. I have been very, extremely, fortunate that I've never had anyone I've known affected by cancer. So, this depiction seemed very realistic to me. The emotions, reactions and thoughts were heart rending. As always, the love scenes were beautiful and tender. I did wait until after "Saving Sonny James", before reading this. I know it was released before but chronologically, it fits better here. A great addition to this series.

This short story about the fight for survival when Luki gets cancer. It is a testament of the way Lou Sylvre knows how to tell a beautiful tale of love, forgiveness and the family that will always be there to encourage and save you.

This is an absolutely beautiful written book! So much emotion that I must go and get the previous books. This story shows not only the person dealing with cancer but the family members also. Great book!
