Leo Loves Aries

Reread June 2022
I finished the book yesterday (read it in like less than 24 hours) and just as I was getting ready to write the review, I was hit with a migraine. So I don't really remember what I wanted to say about it. I do know I really liked some things (like the fact that the story focused so much on Theo and Leone moving past a couple of bad breakups (and Leone in general)) and that some things didn't really work for me the second time around (the friends to friends with benefits to lovers set up). I'd probably drop the rating to a four star, honestly.


Original Review

Absolutely lovely. I almost gave this book a pass. I read Scorpio Hates Virgo last year and didn't see how this one could be anywhere near as good as that one - but this was billed as a slow-burn romance and, honestly, I am so sick of the typical formulae for M/M romances where the main couple has sex by the fifty percent mark. So, I thought slow-burn would be good. Besides the fact that it is, the characters in this story are wonderful. Jamie and Theo are perfect together and Leone is a great woman - something too many M/M romances lack that leaves me depressed. The single thing I would complain about with this book - much like Scorpio Hates Virgo, is that it is narrated by only one character. Personally, I feel that having everyone involved in the relationship narrating - especially if that book is a romance - gives even a great book that little added push. (And this kind of is a great book.)
