The Realist by Riley Hart
5.0
Straight away we can feel the pull between Kai and Marcus. Marcus is affected by Kai and that isn't something he has ever had happen to him. He likes control and order; everything Kai isn't. This book is like reading fore play on loop, the two of them are inevitably going to pounce on each other, but the build up is pressure cooker hot. This is a massive step for Marcus and we get given insights of how Marcus is different with Kai from comments his friends make.
I fell in love with both of these guys, Marcus is in control and stable and has a beautiful soul but he has deep insecurities that seem transparent to Kai. Kai is Mr Sunshine but with huge depth too. These two are so intense that I'm sure the pages vibrated, their intimate scenes were really steamy and Marcus claimed his 'baby boy' even whilst he was working the bar. Marcus is an intense character, his shoulders probably reach his ears from all of the stress he puts on himself. Kai is beguiling and works magic on Marcus and distracts him from himself. This story is like watching the inevitable happen but it takes Marcus a bit of time and self reflection to realise that he is capable of loving someone and worth being loved. I loved this series, but Marcus was definitely unexpected. Previously, we only had a glimpse of him with his friends, often when they were in their own crisis, but I am so glad we got his story and saw the real 'him'. I cannot wait for Corbin to get his HEA, I have a feeling 'The Charmer' may need to up his game. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
