I love reading Charity’s books. She has a unique writing style and tone. Maybe straightforward? I’m not sure what it is. Her stories are a quick fun read. Her book series are usually spin-offs from other series , which is the case with this new series. ( Spin Off from her Kings of the East series) I haven’t read that series so I’m not going to recognise previous characters in this duology. I’m not sure how that will impact the reading experience.
I’ve noticed Charity has a formula for her main characters of Insta love/lust , they get together, there’s a misunderstanding, introduction of main character of next book as potential love rival, main characters of this book make up, the end.
Tricky is a dark, Halloween themed romance between London and Casper.
London is a straight bodyguard assigned to Casper.
Casper is twins with Carver, both being stalked , both I assume are gay, working together in a gay bar/ Kink club.
London is confused with his sudden fascination with Casper. Im under the impression this is his first attraction to another man, because he’s straight.
With London protecting him, Casper is feeling safe.
“Damn. Major hadn’t warned Casper the man would be this fucking yummy. ”
Ooh Landon’s Serbian - sexy accent alert!
No, I was wrong 🤣
Casper has his flirting game on with the straight boy, not realising his antics are affecting the man.
While they are sleeping -separately- the stalker sets off alarms London had set up. Casper is so freaked out I don’t think he’s enjoying London is in his bed, holding him tight.
Oh wait, it’s just hit him.
Now THEY ARE KISSING!! Talk about bed chem 🤣 Sexy make out session time.
“ “I want you, but I don’t know…” A sexy growl came from the back of his throat. ”
London is trying to navigate new waters here. He’s not very confident in the bedroom and thinks he is undesirable. Plus the whole straight man thing. Casper on the other hand thinks London doesn’t actually want him and will regret this in the morning- as he’s sliding a condom on him.
Wow these two have self confidence and abandonment issues.
The morning after Casper is full of self hate and thinking London left him, which he hadn’t. They have a sweet moment and aww London is so innocent . Shower sex follows.
After visiting Londons boss to investigate Caspers stalker, they arrive back to Caspers place to find it broken into. London decides Casper will stay at his place and should avoid going into work.
“This is my life! I won’t be afraid to fucking live it.”
London is loaded! They get dressed for Casper’s night of work.
“Why does it feel like I’ve known you forever?”
I think they have basically declared relationship exclusivity now.
Caspers stalker is potentially a human trafficker. Oh wait, I keep forgetting the twins have a stalker, not just Casper.
A few weeks pass. Casper and London are blissfully living at Londons house, cocooned in their little self made love nest.
Ooh it’s a switch to Caspers twin . Carver - what are you up too?
London finds out the man they suspect is the stalker but he doesn’t want to lose Casper now he’s safe so he hesitates in telling him. London is in love with Casper but afraid it’s not mutual.
“Tell me you feel this thing between us and that you don’t want us to end.”
London declares his love and they decided to continue living together at Londons.
But… London and I noticed Casper didn’t say I love you back.
Oh , Casper says it.
They are in love!!
It’s now Christmas Time. London finds out that the dead sex trafficker was not the twins stalker.
“Keep an eye out for part two, Treat. Tricky and Treat have concurrent running timelines. Part two will start back from the beginning from Carver’s point of view.”
