Gold by E.J. Noyes
4.0
After reading Ask, Tell I went back and bought Noyes’ back catalogue. First on my list was Gold, which I really enjoyed. Aspen and Cate are both great characters (although the use of first person to tell the story means that we don’t get as good a handle on Cate as we do with Aspen). The two have immediate chemistry and their relationship unfolds over a period of time, which gives them time to develop, both as characters and a couple.
I loved the secondary characters as well, especially Gemma and Cate’s friends, and Hayley. All add to the story and further the relationship between the leads.
The story doesn’t lack angst, but the two leads do talk to each other (for the most part) and they also listen, which helps them address issues. I also liked that the story continued past the usual get together stage so that we see how they function in the relationship, though the end still seemed a bit rushed to me. Still, this is another great read by Noyes and I look forward to reading her other books. 4 stars.
