Angels in the City by Garrett Leigh

3.0

3.5 stars. This was nothing like I expected it to be, but in a good way. I very much enjoyed the fact that it was a slow burn without cheesiness—in fact, I’m not sure why this is labeled a Christmas book, because that part was barely there, like it was added on afterwards. Much like the title and book cover didn’t fit the story at all either. I wish the packaging of it all had been different, because the story deserved more.

I really liked Sacha. I have a weakness for Russian love interests in general (I blame the hockey books) and Sacha in particular was just lovely. I crushed on him along with Jonah. I just wish that the story hadn’t been quite as slow burn as it was, because I felt like we barely had time to see them together in the end. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I wanted more schmoop for the finale. They were so good together.
