If you're looking for a sweet, lower-angst, Christmassy read this will be perfect for you! This was a fun one for sure - I picked it up because Sacha Ivanov, one of the main characters, is the cousin of Alexei Ivanov from Garrett Leigh's Rebel Kings MC series. Alexei is one of my favourites, and as that series continues, we learn more about Alexei's cousin Sacha, and Sacha's partner Jonah. Alexei proclaims that Jonah is one of the nicest, sweetest people he's ever met (to the point where Saint names his cat after him), and Angels in the City was truly proof of that!

Jonah Gray needs a date to his parents' annual Christmas ball. He dreads it every single year. After a chance encounter being trapped in an elevator, Sacha Ivanov winds up accompanying Jonah to the ball and pretending to be his boyfriend. Jonah's rich and successful, owns his own company, and treats his employees like gold. Sacha considers himself a lone wolf, and takes solace in his work and anonymous hookups. The two share a floor in their office building, and all of the sudden, they can't seem to avoid each other. And perhaps they don't want to.

Sacha's mannerisms were so like Alexei (particularly his enigmatic habit of talking in circles for his own amusement) that it made me smile! He was definitely a frustrating character at times, and it felt like he was leading Jonah on when he was trying to figure out his own feelings. I appreciated the chronic pain representation, and I found this book to be an easy read and pretty low-angst. The ending did feel slightly rushed, but it still brought a smile to my face.
