Light Me Up by Christie Gordon

4.0

Well, I have to say that I'm increasingly happy for having decided to continue reading this author. Although I always liked her stories, from the first one I read, at first it was difficult for me to read them because I felt that she didn't achieve continuity from one paragraph to the next, or that she jumped from one thing to the other. In each of her stories, she makes reference to some sensitive topic, and although she does not go too deep into them, she does so in such a way that they are really well described, and that you can feel the emotions that the characters feel when pass through them.

In this case, we have Silas, who also appeared in previous books and who is not only having problems due to a traumatic situation that he experienced with his bandmates and friends, but also has just gotten out of a relationship where his ex was emotionally abusive, and who is still pursuing him. Silas meets Cash in another troublesome situation, saving him from being robbed and sparks fly between them.

Cash is the complete opposite. Although his early childhood years were troubled, he became a person who saw the good in others, someone who was cheerful and colorful, and who quickly sensed that there was much more to Silas than his grumpy exterior. He convinces him to give that connection they feel a chance, which soon turns into an insta love situation. Perhaps the pace is a bit rushed, but it leaves room for the problems they must face external to their relationship, which makes it stronger and more solidified, since Cash gives him unconditional support and Silas can finally let his guard down and start to enjoy his life.

Beautiful story of love and friendship, since it is not only Cash who is there for Silas, but all of his friends, who are always present. Also, have you seen the cover? Absolutely gorgeous!

I was given an advanced copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
