This was such a light and fluffy book that I had the goofiest sweet grin on my face when reading it. This story has everything I love about rent-boy stories, and none of the added angst. Jack (aka Teddy) feels an instant kinship to Lucas when they meet, and therefore 4.5 HEARTS When Lucas is invited to his lifelong friend’s wedding, where he will be surrounded by a hoard of loving but meddling family… still single, he finds himself seeking some sort of an escape route. But overall, I am so so glad I gave this one a go.moreĤ.5 HEARTS Love blooms in paradise. Minor deductions because I felt like the ending was a tad bit rushed. Again, their chemistry and the tension more than made up for the lack of steam. They kiss and do other stuff before that. steam wise there is no actual sex until 80%. Some people won't like this - I for one loved this. Nothing can make a book for me more than great banter. It's a butterflies in your stomach every time they kiss or touch type book. The build up, the tension, the chemistry was spot on. This is where things slowed down or dragged for a lot of people. Jack accompanies Lucas to a wedding and that's where things change for them. They didn't really like each other but they were both apparently attracted to each other. They are snarky with each other - which quite honestly was the winning factor of this book. In the beginning, Jack and Lucas run in to each other a few times. The MCs aren't a couple most of the book.
And the whole book really only spanned over a relatively short period of time. This book definitely won't be for everyone. But I picked it up and started it.and then I didn't want to stop. But it had such high reviews and the blurb kept calling to me. I avoided reading this one because of the length #lengthaversion, it's a thing. And before the trip is up, both men will discover that what started as a simple escapade in paradise might just lead to their very own happily ever after.moreĤ.5 Stars! This book.

Niall Horan concurred, telling Billboard that he actually felt like he was still in the band, and later revealing to The Telegraph, "I'm enjoying what I'm doing, but if one of the lads were to pick up the phone and say it's time, I'd do it." Similarly, Harry Styles told Rolling Stonethat a reunion could work if everyone wanted in, and Liam Payne hinted to Dubai's The City Times in January 2020 that a documentary may be on the way, along with a potential reunion.
