A review by itssarahc
Strut by Jay Hogan
5.0
Wow. This book. This book was amazing. I didn't read the first in the Strut series, but I knew I liked Jay Hogan's writing and the book sounded good so I decided to read it and I don't think I will ever be the same. Jay handles sensitive topics so beautifully - all the while balancing out something that could make for a dark book with the right amount of humor and fluff. The reactions in this book all felt so real that by the time I finished it, I was mad that Alec wasn't a real person.
Because as much as I loved Hunter (he checks so many of my boxes), it was Alec that stole the show. Alec, the farm boy who decided to become a model but never once lost his giant heart. He's a caretaker by nature and you can see it in the story - especially through his comraderie with Tim.
And the relationship between Hunter and Alec? Chef's kiss. The fact that they had a not so great hookup a year ago set for an interesting history in the narrative, and it kept the zero to sixty nature of their relationship from feeling too much like instalove. Instead, they were two men who had a draw to one another a year ago and finally learned how to get it right.
This book is emotional. Just a warning. And it handles the emotions that come from an assault so beautifully. The support between the characters and just - THIS BOOK. It has been almost a week and I'm still incoherent. I literally would not change a single thing about this book.
