Angels in the City by Garrett Leigh
4.0
Another wonderful Christmas tale from Garret Leigh, perfectly balancing out angst, chemistry and feelings.
Jonah and Sacha's first meeting in the elevator of their work building is just the beginning as sparks fly and an invitation is accepted to Jonah's parent's charity ball with the tiny addition that Sacha will be Jonah's fake date. What follows is an evening spent enjoying each others company, in all ways. Both decide to go forward attempting friends with benefits but it becomes harder for each man with one more willing to accept this than the other.
Jonah and Sacha are such different people. Whilst both grew up with a wealthy family their childhoods are very different as are relationships with parents. Personality and demeanor are also on different scales, one being approachable and friendly, the other....not so much. But when they are together, everything else falls away and they fit perfectly. It's just allowing themselves to believe that they can cmhave something together.
This was an entertaining and enjoyable read. I love how Garret's writing can always dip into the darker side of life but quickly shines some light back into their lives. This is no different as Jonah acts as a Ray of sunshine to Sacha's world. I liked all of the characters involved, especially both of the teams that they both work with. Jonah's has a tighter bond and Sacha's definitely not afraid to tell people what he thinks but that just makes it more fun!
Highly recommended read that brings a good deal of joy to these characters at Christmas.
