The Sunny Side by Lily Morton
5.0
[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
The Sunny Side by Lily Morton is the first book in The Model Agency. Jonas Durand runs a very successful modeling agency while his personal life takes a back seat. He has always been drawn to Dean Jacobs but never allowed himself to get too close. Dean is a top supermodel with the world at his feet. As he starts questioning his career path, he finds comfort and safety with Jonas. As the two men get closer Jonas and Dean are forced to decide if they're compatible in the long run or if they’re just having a good time.
Jonas Durand has always had serious partners who are very similar to him. Dean is a breath of fresh air who allows him to have fun and let go. Jonas finds himself making time for not just Dean but reconnecting with his daughter and his brother. The physical intimacy comes second to the emotional connection the two men feel.
I don’t understand why we fit, but somehow, we do.
Dean Jacobs is known as a ditzy airhead and he just lets people think what they want to. Behind his striking looks is a compassionate, sweet and honorable man who just wants to help everyone. He has always been drawn to Jonas and is thrilled when Jonas lets him in. Dean puts so much pressure on himself based on his unfortunate upbringing and allows Jonas in on his deepest secrets.
“You do all that by just being you.” I whisper.
“You’re enough whether you believe it or not, Dean Jacobs.”
The Model Agency brings Jonas and Dean’s story to the forefront after meeting them in Malachi’s and Jude’s stories. This book was just the right amount of sweet, sexy and emotional. I loved seeing how their relationship brought out the best in Jonas and Dean and their growth into a family. I also adored Pip and Mal’s roles in supporting the two men both as individuals and in their budding relationship.
4.5 stars for Jonas and Dean bringing out the best in each other and embracing a future together.
