Slide
Shy tattoo artist Ash has a troubled past. Years of neglect, drug abuse, and life on the streets have taken their toll, and sometimes it seems the deep, unspoken bond with his lover is the only balm for wounds he doesn’t quite understand.
Chicago paramedic Pete is warmth, love, and strength—things Ash never knew he could have, and never even knew he wanted until Pete showed him. But fate is a cruel, cruel mistress, and when nightmares collide with the present, their tentatively built world comes crashing down.
Traumatic events in Pete’s work life distance him from home, and he doesn’t realize until it’s too late that Ash has slipped away. Betrayal, secrets, and lies unfold, and when a devastating coincidence takes hold, Pete must fight with all he has to save the love of his life.
Rare
Paramedic Pete Adams lived through the year from hell watching his lover, Ash, fall apart, and the precarious balance between work and home is becoming more strained. His heart is always home, with Ash, but the dark side to his job is weighing him down.
Tattoo artist Ash Fagin is recovering from a nervous breakdown triggered by revelations about his traumatic childhood. His battle with mental illness is far from over, but with Pete by his side, he's feeling good again, so good he doesn’t notice something missing until it walks right into his living room.
Ash believes he’s had enough coincidence in his life, but when a voice from the past comes looking for him, it takes the devastating injuries of the one he loves most to convince him to let a ghost become the family he never knew he wanted.
My Two Pennies' Worth
When I open a Garrett Leigh book I always prepare myself for a huge portion of angst alongside my romance. And she didn’t disappoint.
A well written hurt/comfort story with flawed MCs and lashings of chemistry. This book will creep under your skin, wriggle into your heart and, when you’re least expecting it, rip the still-beating organ from your chest. Dramatic, much? Maybe, but that’s often how it feels with the subtle way Garrett writes her brand of angst.
Garrett always writes well-rounded secondary characters (which is why they often become main characters in their own right), and in this book I especially liked Pete’s Mum and his paramedic partner.
Rare continues Pete and Ash’s story and it’s hard to review without giving away spoilers for Slide. Once again it is well written with difficult themes. It’s a heart-breaking read but full of hope and Pete and Ash’s love is obvious throughout.
Themes: Hurt/comfort. Troubled past. Angst. Dark themes. Homelessness. Mental illness.
