1 wedding, 2 best men, one hell of a love story!
Declan Ramsay's brother Oliver was marrying Annabelle Aiken at a fairy tale Castle on the banks of Loch Ness in Scotland. The bride and groom decided, so that he didn’t feel left out, Annabelle's gay younger brother Sam Should share the best man duties with Declan.
Declan had never met the kid who was to be his joint best man.
Sam Aiken was abroad, working as an interpreter and finishing his studies. He wouldn’t meet Declan until a few days before the wedding, so the best men communicated and planned their speech by email for more than a year.
But on meeting Sam Aiken, Declan is surprised to realise the kid isn't a kid at all, but a tall, blond and athletic young man. Declan is sure he's straight, so he's alarmed by the ferocious attraction he feels for Sam. And as the attraction is reciprocated, the events at Dunloch Castle change everything Declan has ever believed about himself.
But is Samuel Aiken all that he appears to be?
Sam watched as the kilt was secured around Declan’s waist.
Fuck Braveheart…
Declan’s sex appeal just went through the roof, in Sam’s mind. Sam didn’t know what it was about the donning of a kilt that made him want to launch himself at Declan and pin him to the floor. He bit his own knuckle to mute his desire.
“Nice skirt,” Sam jested, his eyes sparkling with laughter.
“Are ye lookin’ for a slapped arse?” Declan spat defensively.
“Now… there’s a thought!” Sam snickered, dodging Declan’s lunge and heading to the wardrobe to retrieve his own kilt.
“Seriously, never call it a skirt. I’ve known many men to get their arses kicked for sayin’ that—” Declan warned. “—and ye have such a lovely arse, I’m no done with it yet!” he added affectionately.
Let me start by stating that Isobel Starling is a huge tease.
Now we can proceed to the review. LOL
Sam and Declan have to stand as best men to their siblings’ wedding and they have to share every duty the title involves.
One problem –those two never met in person and, while they liked each other well enough while emailing back and forth, that can’t be said for the moment they literally bump into each other.
Sam is funny, extremely intelligent, easygoing and good looking while Declan is a non nonsense kind of guy. Always brooding and not just as willing to make friends even if he’s one good looking SOB.
As the wedding day approaches and they have to spend almost every waking moment together, they get to know each other better and things get … sort of complicated.
There’s so much more behind Sam’s charming façade, and finally Declan comes to realize why exactly he never managed to have a decent relationship.
You’ll find a little bit of everything in this novella. Hot Scots in kilts, a good amount of kinky sex, funny underwear (Sam has a twisted mind), and a good dose of humor.
Trust me, you don’t want to miss this.
Aaaand, the best part is that a full length novel is coming soon!! Sam and Declan’s story continues!
As You Wish can be considered an extended prologue and Miss Starling did an awesome job. The narrative is fast pace, captivating and very entertaining. You won’t be able to put it down.
I highly recommend it!
Happy Reading!
At heart Isobel Starling is a romantic. She is fascinated by the psychology of attraction and the intricacy of relationships. Isobel has lived in many countries and worked her way through numerous jobs ranging from confiscating camera's from Madonna fans at Wembley stadium in the '90's to Nannying for Models in New York City. Isobel went on to study Fine Art and has worked in the Arts,Theatre and Film for nearly 20 years.
Isobel writes M/M and occasionally M/F and Fantasy. Her characters are always broken in some way.(Aren't we all!) She loves discovering their past and working out where their lives went wrong. Most of all Isobel loves watching her characters grow and heal when they meet that special someone! She is a sucker for a HEA!
