A review by kaje_harper
Bewitched by Bella's Brother by Amy Lane

4.0

3.5 stars. This is a nice, satisfying love story about a young man afraid of commitment and the amazing older man he falls for. It's a comfort-read book, the kind of thing you go to after wallowing in some other big emotional story, to get your head out of the emo zone. It's nice and sweet, and there is no big angst and very little actually happens in the plot. The characters are all a little too good. (If Asa had a fault, I couldn't find it, and the kid, Jordan, was really too sweet to be true.) Even the villain of the piece turns herself around some. I would have been a little deeper into the story if there had been more conflict than just Sebastian's inability to figure out what he really wanted (or if his alternatives had been more powerful and difficult to choose between. In this case it felt like a no-brainer.) But the book is full of people it would be lovely to know, and Amy Lane's style carries the story along. I'll save this one, and read it again the next time I need a lift.
