I might regret continuing putting off my ARCs until closer to their due date...but at least I'm getting things crossed off my (many) TBR list(s). Here's Sage Abbott's "Aisle Be The Groom." It's the first novel in her latest series, Bristlecone Springs.
["I always dreamed of a perfect wedding. But when my fiancé jets off to the Caribbean, leaving me stranded on a Colorado ranch to plan everything alone, that dream crumbles.
Then his father, Gray, steps in to help. But with every moment we spend together, something shifts. Gray makes me feel wanted, desired, and sexy—the way every big boy dreams of feeling.
The pull between us is undeniable. But can I cancel my wedding to my fiancé when the one I've fallen for is his father?
My affair with Gray might be forbidden, but my heart is ready to risk it all."]
Warning: there is some cheating in this, BUT (and here's be justifying cheating (in the sake of a fictional novel where our MCs get a HEA)) Ozzie's fiancé is a piece of shit, and Gray's marriage is open and practically nonexistent. And these two belong together.
Gray shows Ozzie everything wrong with his relationship/almost-marriage without even trying, just simply existing and being himself. Being a kind-hearted, caring gentleman shows Ozzie how horrible his sham of a boyfriend is. And helps Ozzie fall in love with Gray (and Bristlecone Springs).
And Ozzie reminds Gray what happiness is, what passion is, what dreaming and hoping and loving is. Gray is content, for once in his life, all the while he's internally battling his son (who he was hoping to finally connect with) and Ozzie (who just might be the love of his life).
I'm OBSESSED with this town. I want more of it. I want background on some of it. I want more drama and spice and HEAs.
Trigger Warnings: cheating, fat shaming, bullying, and more.
