About the author
Kaje Harper
96 books2,738 followersI get asked about my name a lot. It's not something exotic, though. “Kaje” is pronounced just like “cage” – it’s an old nickname, and my pronouns are she/her/hers.
I was born in Montreal but have lived for 30 years in Minnesota, where the two seasons are Snow-removal and Road-repair, where the mosquito is the state bird, and where winter can be breathtakingly beautiful. Minnesota’s a kind, quiet (if sometimes chilly) place and it’s home.
I’ve been writing far longer than I care to admit (*whispers – fifty years*), mostly for my own entertainment, usually M/M romance (with added mystery, fantasy, historical, SciFi…) I also have a few Young Adult stories (some released under the pen name Kira Harp.)
My husband finally convinced me that after all the years of writing for fun, I really should submit something, somewhere. My first professionally published book, Life Lessons, came out from MLR Press in May 2011. I have a weakness for closeted cops with honest hearts, and teachers who speak their minds, and I had fun writing four novels and three freebie short stories in that series. I was delighted and encouraged by the reception Mac and Tony received.
I now have a good-sized backlist in ebooks and print, both free and professionally published. A complete list with links can be found on my website "Books" page at https://kajeharper.com/.
You can find me and my book reviews on my author page here on Goodreads - I hang out on Goodreads a lot because I moderate the Goodreads YA LGBT Books group. I also post free short YA stories on that group, more than 50 of them so far.

A nice addition to the “series” (it’s a standalone, but set in the Changes series, with cameos from characters of the other books), centered on a second-chance relationship. The MCs are two older guys: Logan “Vally” Valliere, 33, is an average hockey player in the ECHL, a good guy who loves the game but not talented enough to move up for more than a couple of games (especially after a knee injury that didn’t heal well), still in the closet; Miles Buckner, 37, a former football player in the NFL, who came out a year before the beginning of the book (six years after he retired).
Logan and Miles had been secretly together for two years and
It’s a good book, about nice people trying their best to do the right thing despite their flaws and mistakes. It’s classic Kaje Harper, the kind of story you want to read to restore your faith in humanity without choking on too much sugar and unrealism.
(In case you’re wondering how I’ve read this more than a month before the publication date, that’s because the author made it available for free as part of a multi-author promo. That’s also why my review sounds like notes taken for myself, it’s because they are, I wrote them when I was waiting for GR to get on with the program and add the book)
