Love Hurts (The Cost of Loving Series Book 6) Kindle Edition
Toby feels the threat of this new rival for Sophia’s attentions intensely. But what should he do? What can he do? What would become of him without her? And could he survive the public’s scrutiny if she is no longer by his side?
Much is at stake for everyone - but especially Toby - as he resolves to slay the demons that have plagued him for so long. He is on a crusade that could destroy him, and the glittering life he’s created for himself and Sophia. Then along comes AIDS, and everything changes again.
‘Love Hurts’ is the sixth and final book in ‘The Cost of Loving’ Series. With the same page-turning pace of the previous volumes, Martin Humphries’ bitter-sweet voyage of discovery through some of the most exciting years in living memory reaches its close.
Complete Sophia’s and Toby’s journey that is ‘The Cost of Loving’ today. Travel with them as they complete the roller-coaster ride of pleasure and pain, wins and losses, joys and sorrows.
And find out why love really does hurt – and how much.

About the author

Martin Humphries is a first time author who, once he started writing, couldn’t stop. Now, after five industrious years, Martin has completed ‘The Cost of Loving’ Series of which ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ is the first volume.
Five more volumes, ‘Love For Sale’, ‘Free Love’, “Love Don’t Cost a Thing’, ‘The Price of Love’ and ‘Love Hurts’ complete this dramatic coming of age story that spreads over two decades and two continents. It is a bittersweet, rollercoaster ride of a life lived in the spotlight and with the dark side well hidden from view.
After so many decades of life, Martin is full of stories that need to be told and is busy working on several of them right now. These include a sequel series to ‘The Cost of Loving’ that follows our cast of characters through ‘The Plague Years’ of the 1980’s and beyond, when AIDS changed everything.
Martin lives quietly on Gabriola Island, one of the Gulf Islands off Vancouver, on Canada’s wild and rugged west coast, but enjoys some excitement vicariously through his lively cast of imaginary characters.
It’s a wonderful place to write, surrounded by so many other creative people, his partner of twenty three years, Paul, and the best dog in the world, Alfie.
Martin’s web site is www.martinhumphriesauthor.com and you can contact him there, or on Facebook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Put them Down
Best series of books I have read in a long time. Having lived through the years Martin has written about, I have to say this is the first time I have read the truth about love, dedication and finally destruction of the most exciting 30years of my life. A great Author, who spares nothing when guiding you through the pleasure and the pain. Can't wait to read the next series.
