    REVIEW: Leo Loves Aries by Anyta Sunday

    February 7, 2019 / 5 Comments
    32053864. sy475

    Leo Loves Aries – Anyta Sunday

    A new person will enter your life in the early year, Leo. Look past any moments of frustration they might bring and laugh—this could be the start of a thriving friendship.

    Theo Wallace usually laughs at the horoscopes his mom sends. Still hung up on his ex-girlfriend and practically friendless, this one begs him to reconsider. Because a friendship that stuck, that thrived…

    Well, that would be a reason to leave past pains behind and look to the Bright Future.

    When his sister Leone challenges him to find her the perfect date for a spring wedding, Theo uses it as a chance to make new friends. Theo’s ex economics tutor and newest roommate Mr Jamie Cooper seems to be a possible and convenient match. Real convenient. Like written in the stars, convenient.

    All he has to do is make sure this Jamie is good enough. Could really be the one for her, and the friend for him.

    But watch out, Leo, the stars have a surprise in store…

    Leo Loves Aries is a feel-good gay-for-you novel slow-burned just the way I liked it. Very effectively written in Theo’s POV, we can only shake our heads at how blind he truly was. We see Theo and Jamie’s relationship gradually developing, each squee-tastic moment bringing Theo closer to understanding the JLM on the red t-shirt Jaime allowed him to wear and coming to terms with his own feelings. It was such fantastic build up with a very rewarding conclusion, it left the heart all warm and fuzzy.

    We can go scientific and posit

    “The position of the stars and planets will not affect your life in any way, shape, or form, whatsoever.”

    Yes, true.

    But Theo and Jaime’s chemistry lit up the entire book with so much sparkle and zing they make a very convincing argument that yeah, maybe this Aries should find a Leo instead of pining for that Aquarius.

    Well played, Anyta Sunday. Well played.

    Rating:
    5 Stars – absolutely perfect

    500 Kisses to Steal a Heart – Anyta Sunday

    “… Five hundred kisses are all it takes to steal a heart.”

    Chris Montgomery doesn’t believe it, and he’d know. He’s met— and had— many a man. None of whom he’d want to share five hundred kisses with. If you don’t like someone, you just don’t like them. End of story.

    No amount of kissing will change that.

    Dylan Halsworth doesn’t believe it either. But Chris and his arrogant, “always right, dare I be wrong” attitude has Dylan challenging him to try it. And who knows, maybe watching his most-loathed neighbor suffer through five hundred kisses with the same man is worth it? He’d sit back, crack open a Mountain Dew, and have a good laugh…

    But… shit… there is one slight snag in his plan.

    Chris has chosen Dylan with whom to prove his point…

    An enjoyable friends-to-lovers/enemies-to-lovers (it’s a bit of both) story involving a stupid bet and major misunderstandings. I liked this better than the last friends-to-lovers contemporary I read. There’s slow build up but it never drags. It’s short but not rushed. I’m not an outdoors person but I could imagine how fun the whole Camp Halsworth experience must be. I don’t blame them for getting carried away. 

    Rating:
    3 Stars – not exactly setting my world on fire but I liked it
