I just love reading Nora Phoenix. She makes me adore and root for her characters, who are always interesting, three-dimensional people with full circles of friends and family, and pasts that built them into who they are today. I also love age-gap romance. Tiago and Cas warmed my heart with their unexpected connection turned true love, and I thoroughly enjoyed this read, the first in her new Forestville Silver Foxes series.
Home renovator/handyman Cas is shocked to walk in on supermodel Tiago full-frontal in a hotel room Cas thought was empty. He's known of the gorgeous model forever....seeing him FULLY in the flesh renders Cas speechless and babbling. It's hilarious and cute. What Cas doesn't know is that the unexpected encounter leads to mutual interest on Tiago's part, and he's flummoxed when next they meet and Tiago proposes a hookup on the DL.
Tiago's in town for a school reunion, along with his twin brother, and their circle of friends Marnin and Auden (a hometown resident). His attraction to the man with the scarred face and the body honed by true hard work catches him by surprise, but never one to let the grass grow under his feet, Tiago soon charms Cas into bed, an encounter that ignites the chemistry sparking between them into a roaring inferno. Once is not enough.
Tiago's at a crossroads in his life, wanting something different but not yet having the clarity to admit it to himself or his brother, who runs their supermodel lives. Tiago has a personal challenge that has given him a bit of an inferiority complex, and it's something Cas sees and handles respectfully in a way that draws Tiago in on new levels. Neither was expecting love, but when Tiago decides out of the blue to buy a house in the area and hires Cas to restore it for him, the resulting hands-off, I don't sleep with clients situation Cas then sets forth satisfies neither of them and drives home that they have far more than an incendiary attraction between them. It all leads to one of the sweetest declarations of feelings out there, and a lovely promise of years of love and laughter to come.
I've realized I really don't like to read on page about characters' promiscuous pasts, but even though this author has realistic and very active s3xual histories for many of her characters, she treats that as part of them without throwing it in reader's faces as if to make a point, so it winds up feeling natural and not irking me and diminishing the romance the way it does in others' books. Seeing these two fall for and appreciate each other in body and soul made for a charming and heartwarming read, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the books in the series. Another winner from Nora.
HEA, hookup-to-lovers, age-gap, celebrity supermodel hero, small-town MM romance. No cheating or emotional cheating. Highly recommended.
