Angels in the City by Garrett Leigh

5.0

First Garret Leigh book of the year! Actually, it’s the first of many to come over the next month, as I signed up for Kindle Unlimited for the soul purpose of reading every single Garrett Leigh book within my two month free trial time frame lol. Here in Angels In The City, Leigh does some of her best work. There is always a level to angst in a Leigh book, but this one added a bit of a Fifty Shades of Gray vibe that I reallllyyyy enjoyed. Jonah Gray, a rich successful business man is dreading going stag to his parents Christmas party when he runs into Sacha-a Russian man with an accent to die for- in an elevator at work. When the elevator stalls, they begin to chat and an instant attraction is born, to the point that Sacha agrees to attend his parents party as his fake date. I love the whole fake-relationship/friendship-turned-to-real-feelings trope (*cough Red, White, and Royal Blue*) and this was done in such a fun way. Sacha has his reservations about relationships, and as the story progresses that becomes the biggest deterrent, along with the pair sharing the same floor of office space. Garrett Leigh never fails to pull on the heartstrings and make you fully aware of just how utterly single you are, but is a sweet torture I can’t get enough of
