As for Otto and Greg as a couple, I really enjoyed watching them dance around one another. They had instant attraction. Their chemistry was really off the charts. Because of their own issues they were slow to come together but the prolonged build is really what made Trusting The Elements a page turner.

It's a nice, fluffy, well written romance, but from the way it is set up I always expected more action/adventure somehow. There wasn't much conflict and the little that was there basically resolved itself. But the characters are very lovable and the whole book reads like a nice, warm weighted blanket to hide under. The sex scenes are well written and were a pleasure to read.

Otto and Greg are two guys with some pretty
past bad experiences finding something good together when least expected. The story is interesting and moves at a nice measured pace not spending too much time on any one scene.
This is my first book from Elle Keaton and I'll definitely be adding her previous titles to my TBR.

Overall I enjoyed Trusting The Elements. It took me a little while to feel the connection and feelings between the MC's but the attraction they felt was definitely there.
There is a bit of drama involving Otto's ex boyfriend/stalker and Greg's family disowned him years previously. They show how they can work together even with it being only weekend visits initially as Otto is looking at a space for his business. Neither expected more from the other than one hot weekend together but they can't deny the feelings that do build between them, despite how quickly it all happens. I liked how the relationship developed, it felt like a natural progression even with the speed that everything seems to happen. It's also interesting the jobs/businesses that both men have, different from the norm and something that they both are obviously happy doing.
I love the secondary characters involved with several that I can see having their own story in the future though I had a soft spot for young Amy and the kittens that become part of the family.
A nice, easy contemporary romance to read that I would recommend.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

I had a hard time with this book at the beginning, I found it somewhat repetitive as we had the same events visited by both MCs and things happened or were said that seemed contradictory.
But I'm glad I persevered because this was a sweet romance with a smidgen of angst.
I really liked Greg. He had a big heart but thanks to his upbringing he doesn't think he's good enough.
Otto swung wildly between super empathic and TSTL. There were moments with his ex that I just wanted to shout at him.
Overall an enjoyable read.

Utterly sweet romance with enough spice to keep things ticking along and make me fall completely for both Otto and Greg.
I loved the meet-cute element of this, I loved the town it was set in, I loved that both men had hang-ups but were willing to work through them and I thought the stalker element wasn't overdone and fit nicely into the plot.
I had an ARC, so there were a fair few errors in it which I expect will have been cleaned up on release and the narrative flowed really nicely throughout.
Loved the associated friends and secondary characters and I'll definitely look out for more books in this series.
