![]() ![]() It’s also the longest and perhaps most delicious slow burn I’ve ever read.Ĭallihan keeps that burn going by masterfully playing with the tension, using small events as release valves to both blow off steam and show us that these two people are hot for each other and the status quo won’t last forever.Īnd the banter! Gabriel’s British-ness highlights his dry and wry humor, and the American Sophie gives as good as she gets. Instead of the common “I can’t love you because I’m damaged!” it’s “I think I’m falling in love with you but that doesn’t work well considering the situation we’re in, and I respect you too much to force myself on you.” As a result what could easily be an instalust storyline fits into a friends-to-lovers paradigm. ![]() They’re attracted to each other, but for a variety of (good!) reasons, they’re not acting on it. One of the many things I love is that the relationship between Gabriel and Sophie is stripped down to its core. It wraps you in a big fluffy blanket, brings you a cup of tea, and says yes, love is this awesome. Much like the previous book Idol, the romance in Managed is sweet and comforting. But the biggest surprise? He wants me too. ![]() I thought I’d give him hell for one, long flight. ![]() He’s a legend in his own right, the manager of the biggest rock band in the world, and an arrogant ass who looks down his nose at me. Gabriel Scott: handsome as sin, cold as ice. I thought I’d hit the jackpot when I was upgraded to first class on my flight to London. ![]()
