Bewitched by Bella's Brother by Amy Lane
4.0
I loved this story a lot. I thought it was light and humourous with fully fleshed-out characters that worked their way off the pages and into my heart. I was flipping through an e-book catalogue and the cover art is what struck me first. (it's what made me grab a copy in the first place) I thought this would be another guilty-pleasure smutty book to pass the time with. It was much more than just smut, sure there were some steamy scenes here and there, but it wasn't what the entire story was about, the sex was just a part of Sebastien and Asa's relationship-building process.
Back to the cover art, I half-expected it to be only smut and for Asa to be some silver-tongued seducer and for Sebastien to be a shyer, more reserved character. I was wrong, Asa was the silent listener and Sebastien was the bright, talkative ray of sunshine.
I loved the detail Lane goes through to establish the characters, the setting and their personalities, and that they all showed a balanced level of maturity and immaturity based on situation. This was a lovely light read for me and it sure helped me pass the time while I was waiting for the contractors to turn the electricity back on again as they worked. I recommend this read to anyone who likes a nice light-hearted romance between two men and has about an hour and a half of free time available.
