Trust by Sophia Soames
5.0
5 stars
What a sweet, wonderful, heartwarming story (with just a pinch of hurt/comfort)!
I adore Sophia Soames' books and this one was a delight.
Reuben is a doorman at the Clouds Hotel Westminter, he works there with his father and he's used to celebrities who arrive to stay at the hotel. He lives a simple and quite life and enjoy his comfortable routine.
Graham/Gray is a famous pop star, known as The Dieter; he's very talented but his life is a big giant mess. He's been thrown into the business without understanding how it worked and now he's paying the consequences. He cannot live his life freely and he's always surrounded by a lot of people, he doesn't sleep well, he can't concentrate and he's reaching his breaking point.
In Reubs and Stewart's little flat and, especially, in Reuben's arms, he feels safe, accepted, understood, happy. He develops a big crush on Reubs but, since he's not used to genuine people who don't want anything from him and don't pleased him only for their purposes, he keeps pushing and overwhelming him to be his boyfriend (in a very sweet way, there's nothing toxic or non consensual in this story).
Poor Reuben, he feels like he's continuosly hit by a tornado, he doesn't understand why he feels so attracted to Gray, why having him in his arms feels so so right. His presence prevents him to think clearly and he can't come to terms with this new side of his own sexuality
High praises to Stewart who's the best dad ever! I adored how he built his own fatherly relationship with Gray (independent from Reubs), how he supported him and helped him without judging.
I also very much appreciated how all the mess with the band's agent and the productors ended, even if there was a sad note.
The sex scenes are intimate, sweet, adorable and a little hilarious sometimes, but above all they're full of love.
The epilogue is amazing and I love how Reuben and Gray built their family based on their wishes and their needs.
After Skin and Bones this book was very much needed, I highly recommend it.
I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest review
