Cash by Garrett Leigh
4.0
Garrett Leigh is the queen of yummy, angsty, MM romance and I have been binge reading her back catalog. Cash is a little bit lighter on the character angst, but a story that will pull you in that has characters you will equally love. Even though it wasn’t my favorite story from her impressive backlist, this story was a sweet one where the past meets the present and you want the characters to work it out so they can be together.
Cash is a car mechanic who has hidden his past deeply. He meets Rae one explosive night and they share a night of passion. When they next meet, it’s because Rae brings the past knocking on Cash’s door. His hunt saboteur crew needs help, and Cash is a legend among them. But Cash hides deep scars from his past and isn’t willing to jump back into the life. As things heat up both in the hunting community and also between the guys, things quickly become even more dangerous as enemies attack them from both sides.
I LOVED the fast paced ending of this story. It went in a direction I totally didn’t see coming and before I knew it, the story was wrapping up. For me, it lacked the same angsty intensity that many of her other titles have that creates drama and tension between the characters. In Cash, the angst is created more from Cash’s internal conflict about sabotaging and also from external forces which drive the story forward. Don’t get me wrong, this is a great book. I really enjoyed it, but I missed that little extra angst that I love in Garrett’s stories. Learning about illegal fox hunting in the UK was fascinating and sad, but the justice in the end makes it all worthwhile. I also think that I enjoyed Lucky (book 1) so much, it was a hard act to follow. The books in this series are quick reads for me and interesting stories to enjoy. I have already started book 3, Jude and look forward to what his story reveals.
