The Retreat

New York Gods Series, Book 2

By: Andi Jaxon, J.R. Gray

Narrated by: Kirt Graves, Tim Paige

I'll do anything not to marry the girl my parents want me to.

Including marrying her brother in a drunken panic.

I'm not gay, but I can fake it long enough to get our parents off my back, right?

Cue hiding out for the next two years, but nothing is that simple, because I'm offered a spot on the US National team.

Now we have to fake it for the entire world as the poster boys of gay fencers while Colin makes me doubt everything I think I am.

I'm not prepared for all the ways I depend on Colin. Or the place he's filling in my life.

But I can't keep this up.

I'm slipping on a national stage.

And he's going to press every button until I snap, ruining this for us both.

Cute

Was glad to follow up with Collins side of the story. A splash of darker themes which I loved, feel good ending was a bonus. All around good sries so far.

The Retreat

This book makes for an interesting read, with characters intermingled from the first book in the New York Gods book series. Some of the characters are truly likeable and engaging (i.e., Colin, Owen, Issac, Cassie, and Olivia) and Oliver is hit or miss in his likability at times, based his attitude and behavior. Some of the other characters are down right despicable, unlikeable, and not worth mentioning by name. There were some very funny parts throughout the storyline, and the likeable characters made the book worth reading.

Love the New York Gods

Great narration and story- my only critique, Colin comes off too much like a Meghan Markle to Owen’s Harry.
Took a while to block the thoughts of the annoying attitude, too real.!

A great 2nd book

No notes. Although I definitely need more of Oliver and Isaac’s domesticated life. Continue. This. Series.

Sooo hot!!!

I think I like this book better than the 1st!!! Colin and Owen are sooo sweet and sooo hot!!! I really enjoyed the story line as well!! ive never wanted to punch fictional parents sooo bad!! As a mom, I can't belive how some people can treat their own kids like this!!! Definitely worth the credit!!
