Angels in the City by Garrett Leigh
5.0

Independent reviewer for Gay Romance Reviews, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I loved this book! It hits all the spots I needed hitting right before I started it, and I read it in one sitting, starting at 3 o'freaking'clock in the morning! Or maybe that was when I finished it? things got a little fuzzy!

Jonah needs a date for his mother's Christmas Ball. Sacha joins him, and there follows a beautiful love story, with some heavy emotions thrown in, and some oh-so-hawt bits too. There isn't really any sort of break up, more a bit of a falling out, and everything creeps up on them both in the most delicious way!

I loved Jonah and Sacha, both together and apart. I loved how everything sort of snowballs around them: emotionally and physically. I loved how vague Sacha was about his family, and indeed, I don't think we got the full story, but were givien enough to appease curious minds. My questions were answered, so I was happy.

While both guys clearly came from money, and had money that was their own, there wasn't an "I'm better than you" vibe from either of them, and I loved that.

I wanted to cry for Jonah when he finds Sacha slumped on the floor when his migraine hits. The wave of emotion hits him hard, or rather, it solidifies within, since it was already there.

I . . .just . . .LOVED . . .this book!

Ms Leigh is fast becoming a firm favourite, and I look forward to seeing what comes next!

Oh! One last thing! I would LOVE this book in audio, Sacha voice especially would be brilliant!

5 full and shiny stars
