Cat's Review of The Northern Lights in His Eyes (Paint By Number book 2) by Andrew Grey @andrewgreybooks @tammystwocents X- @AndrewGreyBooks @TTCBooksandmore

When Garvin Haverton lost his husband, he lost himself. Unable to bear the reminders of their love, he left his friends in Los Angeles for the remote Alaskan wilderness, cut ties with his old life, and started over.

Model William Moreau has let Garvin hide for long enough. He misses his friendship, and he has to know if the spark he felt between them could ignite the love of a lifetime. So he packs a bag, books a flight, rents a car… and almost gets himself killed in a blizzard.

When William shows up half-frozen, Garvin is furious. Unlike William, he doesn’t need to be rescued. He has a life in Alaska: new friends, a dog, a job. But he can’t kick William out into the cold, and it doesn’t take many long, cold Alaskan nights before he realizes that he may have a life, but he hasn’t moved on. He could do that with William. The chemistry between them could heat his little cabin all on its own. But William’s life is in LA, and Garvin can’t go back. Is their unlooked-for romance doomed from the start?

This is book 2 in this series but works fine as a standalone. However, you meet some of the mentioned characters and places in book 1 and it's awesome, so why not start there?

I will be honest and say I had this as a 4 until about the halfway mark. 

I just felt like William's appearance on Garvin's doorstep in the cold, and as long as it seemed, I felt he should've been in worse shape. But as in most Andrew Grey books, you can't help but fall in love with the characters. Their slow burn and Garvin trying so hard not to give in to his feelings truly won me over.

Another thing I loved, all the characters and the setting. 

I also loved the angst that just made Garvin's personality. And there is also some suspense. Still not sold? I saved the best for last. A cute big, lovable dog and William isn't a dog person. 

Still not sold? If you love second chances, friends to lovers, hurt/comfort, beautiful settings, close friends, small towns, slow burn, cute dogs, suspense and a HEA... go get this book!
