A review by katkejt
The Retreat by Andi Jaxon, J.R. Gray

Owen • Colin
….
“Only if you earn it.”
.
“You feel like my best friend.”
….
Fake marriage that leads to forced proximity. Forced proximity that leads to an understanding. An understanding that leads to finding your own person. A person, that becomes a best friend who leads you through it all, becomes a part of you, a part of your heart. A part of your heart that sees you. Let me tell you - there is no quite characters out there like Owen and Colin. I felt this story complemented On Guard perfectly, like seeing a brand new found family come to life. The banter between Colin and Oliver was definitely my highlight. While reading I felt satisfied, yet had a lingering feeling, that a lot more juice could have been squeezed from it. Who’s next? We don’t know yet. Maybe Ryan? Let us be surprised.

“It seems so out of place with its bright colors and uneven shapes. Like me in the world I was born into.” // “If you think you’re in charge here, you’re gravely mistaken.” // “Sweet innocent man, you have no idea what you’ve just done.” // “It’s easier if I push them away than if they leave me.” // “I will not tolerate anyone speaking to my husband that way.” // “He laces our fingers together, probably to keep mine still, but maybe he needs the physical contact too.” // “You are exquisite.” // “Because I want your marks on me.” // “I love when you look at me like that.” // “You are everything I never knew I needed and wanted. Just as you are.” // “I see you found the new art I had installed today.” …
