Synopsis

Isha has spent the last year watching his BFF get his happily-ever-after. He’s proud of Dom, but…it hurts to see him so free while Isha’s love life is still on lockdown. Only Isha’s ex-wife knows the secret that he’s kept caged for so long—that he’s queer too, and he’s lonely.

Jude’s too chained to his work to notice what he’s missing by being terminally single, but a new face in the village soon catches his attention. City boy Isha is gorgeous, and when he starts to haunt Jude’s reptile shop as well as the hook-up app on his phone, he’s a welcome distraction from Jude’s business problems.

For a control freak like Isha, letting Jude under his skin is an existential meltdown, but Jude’s not in the market to be anyone’s queer crisis, not when he’s facing troubles of his own. Unlocking their lives could push both men apart forever, but it might be a risk worth taking if sharing is the key to their happy future.

This book has all the feels!

Once I started reading Jude, I so badly wanted to read it straight through without stopping; I hate it when real life interferes with my reading! This was a fantastic book and boy was it ever hot as fire. Right from the start there was no doubt that Jude and Isha had chemistry in spades. Their sexy time was off the charts.

I should probably mention that while Jude is the third book in the Lucky series it can be read as a standalone. Characters from the other books appear but you shouldn’t feel lost if you haven’t read them. I confess that I’ve yet to read book one, Lucky, and I had no trouble at all starting with book two, Cash.

When they weren’t getting it on with each other things were a bit more complicated. Isha is bi but only his ex-wife knows that, well until he meets Jude that is. Isha doesn’t exactly have friends, he doesn’t really let anyone get too close, but he feels super guilty for not letting those closest to him know that he’s queer.

I loved that Jude has a disability but doesn’t let it stop him from running his own business. Since the blurb doesn’t disclose what it is, I’m not saying anything other than I know someone with this who doesn’t really cope nearly as well as Jude does.

While reading Jude there were times that I really wanted to throw something at Isha because he couldn’t seem to recognize or admit what a good thing he had going with Jude. I shed sad tears and happy tears while reading this and it was so worth every one of them.

I’m a relatively new fan of Garrett Leigh’s writing so I have some catching up to do and it’s something I look forward to accomplishing.
