Sometimes all you need is a little push
Running from his shattered gymnastics career, Charlie Avrill’s one hope for redemption is the strange and colourful world of the circus. His skills should make him a good fit for seasoned performer, Darius Lungo. But Darius won’t compromise his high stakes act for just anyone.
Still mourning the loss of his performance partner who unexpectedly abandoned the show, Darius’s heart can’t take another temporary filler. No matter how perfect Charlie might seem at first glance. But the circus is dying, and Darius owes his bosses a stellar act to sell.
Putting their differences aside to recreate the star attraction, Darius and Charlie grow closer with each rehearsal. But Charlie’s only in the ring for a one-night-only performance and the circus is due at its next stop—off the island and into Europe.
Can Charlie push aside his fears and take the leap of faith to change his entire life? And, if he does, will Darius still be there to catch him?
Leap of Faith is a standalone age-gap, enemies to lovers, mm romance where the twists and turns don’t only happen in the ring.
Cat gives this one 5 Meows overall with a 3 Purr heat index...
Oh wow! what can I say. this story really blew me away. It grabbed me from the get-go and held me. The characters are so intriguing and the story interesting. My heart went out to Darius. You knew from the beginning something happened between him and his performing partner of twenty years that broke him but not what. Also with Charlie. You found out something happened to upset his Olympic chance but what? What sent him home? I loved how painstakingly slow these tidbits were unraveled, keeping you wanting more.
The setting was so amazing and unique. I mean who doesn't love a circus?
The performance was good, it was just that for a moment the British accent of the narrator threw me off. The story is set in New Jersey. Charlie and his friends and family are from there. The circus people are of different nationalities, Carlos Spanish, Darius Romanian so the accent just had me confused. Now having said that I got over it fast as I was pulled into this fabulous story. I was then mesmerized.
So come on. Take a leap of faith and join the circus! I just had to say that!
About the Author
Brought up in a relatively small town in Hertfordshire, C F White managed to do what most other residents try to do and fail—leave.
Studying at a West London university, she realised there was a whole city out there waiting to be discovered, so, much like Dick Whittington before her, she never made it back home and still endlessly search for the streets paved with gold, slowly coming to the realisation they’re mostly paved with chewing gum. And the odd bit of graffiti. And those little circles of yellow spray paint where the council point out the pot holes to someone who is supposedly meant to fix them instead of staring at them vacantly whilst holding a polystyrene cup of watered-down coffee.
Eventually she moved West to East along that vast District Line and settled for pie and mash, cockles and winkles and a bit of Knees Up Mother Brown to live in the East End of London; securing a job and creating a life, a home and a family.
After her second son was born with a rare disability, C F White’s life changed and it brought pen back to and paper after having written stories as a child but never had the confidence to show them to the world. Now, having embarked on this writing journey, C F White can’t stop.
So strap in, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
