Another day, another series by D.J. Jamison. This time around, Martial Bliss, which this series is anything but (at least at first--who needs "traditional" love/marriage when you can fake-dating trope your way into true love and martial bliss). The third and final book is titled: "Faking A Groom".
["Can a fake engagement help Avery embrace his true desires?
Avery Kinkaid has been repressing his deepest urges for as long as he can remember. For his father, he has remained in the closet as a gay man. Out of fear, he's buried his craving for pretty clothes, makeup, and anything else deemed too femme.But when his father takes it too far--supporting a senate bill that undermines everything Avery stands for--he's ready to call his bluff.
All he needs is a groom.
Rory Fisher--a spirited activist who's not afraid of a fight--is perfect for the role of fake fiancé. Except, Avery doesn't anticipate just how much he's missed his ex or how deeply he still wants him.
Rory brings Avery’s desires into the light and loves not just the exterior Avery shows to the world but his true self underneath. He makes Avery feel stronger, braver, and freer than he’s ever been.
But Avery's father won't just sit back and let them have their happily ever after. Avery will have to find the strength to fight for what he loves -- for Rory's sake and his own."]
I reeeeeeeeeally dragged my feet reading this one. I just...it was incredibly hard to deal with all of Senator Kinkaid's homophobic bullshit and heartbreaking to read all of the toxic bullshit that Avery had been brainwashed into believing.
All of that drama made the relationship angst feel like a penny in a well.
Though, it turned out to be a hot-as-fuck penny. ;)
