Bren by Toby Wise

5.0

Well this was the cutest freaking thing ever! Andras and Bren have been dancing around each other for far too long it seems. Neither one wants to make the first move, which is frustrating because basically that's all that was keeping them apart. It isn't until Bren is "reincarnated" via his phoenix nature that things finally begin to go in a forward direction relationship wise.

Younger Bren was so fun. He didn't have the qualms his former older self did about waiting for the right time. His phoenix knew Andras was his mate and that was good enough for him to go full speed ahead. It was sweet how Andras wanted to make sure this was truly something Bren wanted and not just him clinging to him because his phoenix did at a vulnerable time in his life. I also loved the fact that once a phoenix finds their mate that they can make the decision to grow old together. It really solidified their HEA in the end for me.
