Reveal by H.J. Welch

I'm so in love with these characters. My heart went out to Jason and his complete lack of faith in himself and who he is, and then Channing is so adorable with his enthusiasm, happiness, acceptance and way of looking at the world.
A fake boyfriend story has recently become a favourite of mine and H.J. Welch has perfectly written easily lovable characters in a beautiful setting with a strong story that kept my interest the whole way through. The two men face some obstacles, especially one of Jason's workplace bullies trying to make life hard for the couple. Channing is amazing at bringing light to Jason's life whilst they take part in team building exercises. There are some great examples of relationship building, not just with the MC's but also possible friendships among the workmates and wives of Jason.
Everything seems to flow really easily as I read through the book, a natural progression for Jason and Channing as they move from reunited friends, to co-conspirators as fake boyfriends along to something a lot deeper than either man expected. Channing's journey is just as important as Jason's with his own personal revelations but Jason has spent so long putting himself down and not feeling that he belongs that when he gets the chance to explore, it's beautiful to read and experience.
Cannot recommend this story enough! There are so many emotions within the book from our two MC's but also a host of other characters that aren't shy in expressing themselves. Some of the wives on the team building become a bigger part of the story than you'd think they would originally. So excited for book five in this fourth series.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.
