Une lecture plaisante et plutôt douce, sans trop de drama (même si l'histoire d'Alice est 'too much' à mon goût). La romance entre Saint & Lucky s'installe doucement, et ce petit côté 'slow burn' n'est pas pour me déplaire, bien au contraire, surtout qu'il y a entre eux une dose d'animosité qui vient souffler sur les braises ! J'ai beaucoup aimé la relation entre ces deux hommes et leurs grands-mères respectives, cela apporte une bonne dose de tendresse et de nostalgie au roman.
J'ai passé un bon moment de lecture avec ce livre, je me suis même presque sentie 'à la maison' à Cottage Grove. Étant donné que le roman se clôt sur un HFN, je me demande si on aura une suite ...

Something About You was such a sweet read. Lucky and Saint were wonderful together and I loved watching this story play out.
Lucky is the town golden boy. The guy who everyone loves and is nice to everyone. The one who will help anyone who needs it without a second thought. He is always trying to fix things for others and is fairly happy living his life. Yes, he has some secrets and some things he has never explored, but would like to. Maybe. One day. But he is happy. He has his bff and his family and life is good.
Saint likes to live his life to the fullest. He has fun, sleeps with lots of people, works hard, everything is great. He loves his life in LA. Sure he doesn't have any one person to spend his life with, but he doesn't want that. He is perfectly happy hooking up with people when he feels like it. Why not? As long as it is between consenting adults who cares?
These two were amazing together. Saint thought he was alone in the world family wise until Lucky writes him out of the blue and lets him know he still has a grandmother. A grandmother who is Lucky's grandmothers bff. A grandmother who Lucky was trying to help reunite with her grandson. Saint couldn't believe it, his father never told him he had family, but he can't just not do anything.
It was great as when Saint showed up in town and he and Lucky did not hit it off right away. They both seem to say things in the worst of ways and Lucky for sure didn't like him. Or maybe was trying not to like him as he had never been with a man before and was a bit afraid of his attraction to Saint.
These two worked so well together. Once they got all of their misunderstandings and unfair first impressions out of the way they were wonderful. I loved how confident Saint was and how much he helped Lucky open up and be who he is. Lucky has some pretty closed off ways of thinking about how men and women should be and is hesitant to even mention some of the things he fantasizes about because that is not what men want. Right? Only Saint gives him that safe, secure place to experiment and see what happens. Saint never wanted a relationship and Lucky only ever had relationships, but was willing to give a no strings things a try with Saint. Of course these two can't keep it easy breezy and start falling for each other. It was so cute and such a good read. I am happy that there is a second book as I wasn't quite ready to say goodbye to these characters.

I have read everyone of Rileys books and this one was just okay for me. I really didn't like Saint that much. I liked the way he treated Lucky but him as a character just felt kinda duche to me. The writing was great as always, i just wish Saint had another background.
I love stories full of interesting coincidences. These two have a lot of familial connections. Lucky is the baby if his close knit family who is stunned to learn that his grandmas best friend has a grandson she has never met. Saint thinks his whole family is dead and is stunned to learn that his grandmother is alive in his fathers home town.
Lucky is bisexual but only his best friend knows. Saint is bisexual and everyone knows. Lucky grew up in a small town and still lives there. Saint grew up in L.A. and still lives there.
Lucky is attracted and has no idea what to do about it. Saint is attracted but thinks lucky is too judge. Sparks fly and after getting to know one another, they start to see one another in a different light.
The attraction is hot and The way Saint helps Lucky see that his desires are sexy and fine is beautiful. I also really loved the open communication about consent and protection and AIDS prevention.
Enjoyed this story. Not sure if I’ll read the other book but I liked this one.

It was fine? Nothing bad but not much going on, pretty boring, the biggest stakes in the relationship was potential long distance? Could have used more plot
