Reservations by Kindle Alexander, Jae Ashley
4.0

One of the things I really like about Kindle Alexander's writing is that they don't just do the normal sequence of couples meeting, falling in love, happily ever after, the end. Alexander's stories usually span a lot more time than normal romances, and I love that. We get to invest in the characters for longer than just the happy ending. Not to say that Alexander's books aren't happy, but we just get to see the couples living their normal lives most of the time. In this story, we meet two very different people. One is wealthy and wants to avoid any entanglements, so he usually pays someone to be his escort in whatever town he's in so he doesn't have to do relationships. The other one is raising his two younger brothers after their dad passes away. He has no money and has only just started medical school and has to drop out. What he knows for sure though, is that he doesn't want to be an escort. He works as a waiter instead. He wants a forever kind of relationship, and the two of them finally workout a way to make their relationship work for them both. I really liked this book, and I'll be reading the next one because Julian seems like a great character and I'm excited to see what ultimately happens to him.
