Angels in the City by Garrett Leigh
4.0
I received an ARC from GRR in exchange for an honest review.
This is the fluffiest book I have read by Garrett Leigh... and I don't think she could do fluffier than this. she is one #AngstQueen that I will happily read every time, because her MCs are always real and faulty. By the end of the stories, her men are still faulty, but are always trying hard to become better versions of themselves. there is no quick fix, magical dicks or love miracles. the MCs works hard to get their HEA and by the end they deserve it.
Granted, in this book, the MCs didn't fight as much, because Ms. Garrett chose not to torture them a lot. #NewApproachFFW … she just gave Sacha intense migraines but hey.... you gotta keep your TM!
What I loved:
1. The MCs:
Sacha Sacha Sacha.... this character is such a ball of contradictions. a vulnerable, insecure, confused man who is wrapped up in a scowling cold façade. this is the type of character you just want to bundle up and protect, because you can see through all true bullshit. He needs warmth and love and Jonah was the man to do it! #ReadBetweenTheLines
Jonah Gray... he was just what the doctor ordered to break down Sacha's walls. he is lovable and bright and and honest to a fault. from the get-go. He felt the need to protect and to care for Sacha. #Luchik
2. The Plot:
After being stuck in the elevator, they somehow end up being pretend boyfriends and attend a ball together... que lust and they end up FWB. all through that, both men are working hard, and trying desperately to keep their relationship NSA. #YourEffortsAreFutile
3. The Romance:
Transitioned fluidly from fuckbuddies to lovers. Both men knew they were in too deep after that first time. But there was no way to stop those feeling from evolving to something more. #RunawayTrain
4. Th Heat...
Holy shit it was STEAMY! Ms. leigh never disappoints with her love scenes, even though some intimacies took a while to take place. It was the prefect tease. #Edging
5. The Dialogue:
It was HARD! damn these men talked in circles but each phrase had a hidden meaning that you could pick up flawlessly, even though it was HARD! But it fit their relationship because it showed how they were both avoiding talking about what mattered. #ListenToWhaYoureNotSaying
Slight niggles:
I wanted an epilogue dammit! I needed that HEA into the future, something to let me know how they were doing, what they have been up to... some progression of their relationship. I felt robbed of this part. #WhyYouDoMeLikeThat .... hence the 4 star rating.
All in all.... A great Christmas story and love love love these men. #BravaMsLeigh
