   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  Okies | Mar 20, 2024 |    ) terriaminute | Dec 4, 2022 | Story - No rating DNF @ 50% Maybe it is time to accept GL's books are not for me. We don't mesh well. I tried but i can't connect with the characters, the chemistry is just not there. It is me not the book, this series has fave reviews. Shile.J | Apr 19, 2021 | ENJOY! :) With (  ) Gabi90 | Apr 18, 2021 | There was something off about this book that stopped me from loving it. I enjoy GL's writing, I have enjoyed it ever since [b:Rented Heart|29553199|Rented Heart (Rented Heart, #1)|Garrett Leigh|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1458396552s/29553199.jpg|49859665]. I like the flawed characters she builds. I liked Angelo and Dylan's struggles and how they defined their journey. However I couldn't connect so well to the MCs as to give this book 4 or 5 stars. It felt to me that the book might have been written too fast and maybe it needed one more rewriting to strengthen some of the scenes before being published. I'm adding the scenes I'm referring to under spoiler. 1. Dylan in the beginning During the second part of the book we focus on Dylan's anxiety. He didn't come as such an anxious person that would have panic attacks in the first part of the book. Just someone who was suffering because he had to let go of his best friend. The book focused on Dylan's anxiety in the second part as if he had been an anxious person all along. Again, he didn't come out to me like this in the beginning. 2. The club scene where Dylan has a panic attack Where did the panic attack came from? It just sprang on the page, sex, bang, panic attack. One moment Angel and Dylan were doing their mild BDSM thingy, then Angelo asked Dylan what was wrong with him, then Dylan had a panic attack. I didn't notice anything before Angelo. I needed one or two extra sentences to show how Dylan's behavior was beginning to change, what did he do that it triggered Angelo and made him ask Dylan what was wrong? 3. The hostage situation Felt pointless. 4. The scene in Dylan's office where Angelo informs him he was the one that banged him in the club when Dylan had his blindfold on I lol-ed. I also considered it a lame move undignified for Angelo's character who was a cool dude. “Thanks for your help today, Dylan, but I gotta say, you did more for me a week ago when I railed you at Lovato’s. You have a nice day, now.” 5. The stalking Everyone is a stalker in this book. Angelo, Dylan, Dylan's friend Sam. I'm giving the side eye to Rhys as well who pops up everywhere. 6. Dylan's job and Angelo's debts I am a financial fraud auditor that works every day with numbers, invoices, amounts - I got so confused at times by the financial stuff in this book that I skimmed the pages when the DRO discussions were beginning. The sex scenes were hot, GL knows how to write 'em. She's still on my auto buy even if I gave Dream 3 stars. Still recommend the book, maybe it's me, not the book.

Romance.
When unrequited love leaves Dylan Hart sleepless and nursing his wounds, instinct draws him to the one place he's found mindless respite in the past-Lovato's. It's a place for every fantasy, where a night of insane NSA sex brings relief. It should be a perfect escape, and for one magical night it seems that way, but then worlds collide, and reality bites when Dylan's hookup desperately needs a friend. Surely Dylan can't trust his instincts when friendship has bruised his heart so badly before? The deck is stacked against former ballet dancer Angelo Giordano ever finding real love. At least visiting Lovato's offers respite from a life defined by illness; a glimmer of light in the dull gray of his so-called life without dance. But then he encounters Dylan, who makes his heart pound once more with purpose. Angelo's mind is blown by this man, but the disease that ended his career won't let him bask in new love. He's drowning, and Dylan can't save him while insecurities swamp them both. The only way to make it means confronting their demons. If Dylan can turn his back on the past, and Angelo can face his uncertain future, maybe they can chase their dreams together. Contains mature themes. No library descriptions found. |

But it seems to me that in most romances the relationship is the story, with the setting or some aspect of the MCs lives adding content.
It doesn't really matter - it's the writing that creates the beauty of the novel and that's all I require. This is beautifully written - AND full of empathy for the MCs, which is also a top requirement. I've read 3 novels by Garrett Leigh and all were equally solid.
Angelo and Dylan meet at a club in circumstances which are supposed to be anoymous. But they meet by chance in their regular lives, and then again. And so a friendship begins. (
