Synopsis
Seth
Portland was supposed to be my fresh start, my chance to live for myself. Unfortunately, it’s not working out that way. I stay in the apartment Mom chose and major in finance like she wants. I let bad memories keep me from hooking up. I wouldn’t know the first thing about finding a guy who gets me, who’s okay with my need to be held and feel safe.
When I befriend a worker at the assisted living facility where I volunteer, I don’t expect to get invited to dinner, only to realize her son is Jake, a guy I met through friends last fall. Jake’s not only hot, he’s also sweet, a caretaker, and attracted to me too. Since he’s never been with a guy, and I’m a virgin, we’re setting the pace together, learning what we like, one bone-melting touch at a time.
Jake
My childhood was rocky, with an abusive father and a mother I needed to protect. The first thing I did after high school graduation was get us out of there so we could finally breathe. And start living. For me that means managing the garage I own with my best friend and enjoying the modest house I call my own.
Then Seth enters my life. Our connection is palpable. He’s shy, innocent, and sets my blood on fire. He makes it impossible to ignore my attraction to men. The trust he puts in me is more potent than any desire. I get as much from talking to or holding him as when we let our inhibitions go.
Seth and I fulfill each other’s needs—in and out of the bedroom. But our struggles aren’t easy to shake. With my urge to protect and Seth’s desire to fly, we’ll have to strike the right balance, but when we do, the results will be pretty sweet.
Review
If you’ve never read a Riley Hart or Christina Lee book,
you’re really missing out. And the two of them together? Pure. Magic.
This is the second book in the Boys in Makeup series, but
you absolutely can read it as a standalone. Seth was the roommate of one of the
MCs in book one, but this one stands completely on its own.
The sweetness and innocence of Seth really sucked me in
immediately. I loved how he just wanted someone to cuddle with and to make
other people feel good. I just wanted to protect and love him!
Then there was Jake. He’s this big, muscular mechanic who’s
only ever been with women—so you’d think he’d be a typical alpha male
character. He’s the furthest from it and it was awesome. It was so sweet how he
was always worried about his mom and how he was protective of those he cared
about.
The way the two of them tentatively feel each other out and
then slowly begin to build a relationship of trust and love was so nice to
watch. They learned from and took care of each other in a way only they could.
Plus, I adored
Seth’s relationship with Jake’s mom! Heart-meltingly sweet! I one hundred
percent recommend Pretty Sweet. You’ll love it.
