The blurb does a good job of explaining the premise of this story so I won’t go into a long rehas. This plot is set far in the future. Fane works at a gay bar that’s rundown. He also lives in a poorer part of London and lives paycheck to paycheck. When he finds Jo-E in a dumpster he thinks his luck has changed and takes the bot home where he fixes a blown wire in the disabled Bot. From there, Jo-E awakens and starts to discover all sorts of things about himself. Little does Fane and Jo-E know that Samuel had been experimenting on Jo-E before he was thrown away.
There’s a lot of monologue in this story. I understand why the author did it, because Jo-E’s discoveries about his developing feelings are internal and the only way we can understand is through his thoughts. Fane also changes as he interacts with Jo-E, growing conflicted with his feelings for the Bot. The author gave distinctive voices to all the characters. Jo-E was naïve, innocent, and yet at the same time a robot who could figure out problems in record time. The author did a great job with some of Jo-E’s comments. Samuel’s voice was arrogant and mean and came across quite clearly.
There isn’t much action because this book is mostly about Jo-E’s awakening and Fane’s confusion of his own emotions. The author created a world or rather time that pulled me in immediately. It was vivid without going overboard on description. The only part of the story that bothered me was the extensive monologue that sometimes came across as telling because there was so much of it. I enjoyed Fire Up My Heart, and recommend it to others as something different from your regular romance. I give this book a solid 4 Stars.
