Reviewing Jude by Garrett Leigh

Jude (Lucky #3) by Garrett Leigh 2*
BLURB: Isha has spent the last year watching his BFF get his happily-ever-after. He’s proud of Dom, but…it hurts to see him so free while Isha’s love life is still on lockdown. Only Isha’s ex-wife knows the secret that he’s kept caged for so long—that he’s queer too, and he’s lonely.
Jude’s too chained to his work to notice what he’s missing by being terminally single, but a new face in the village soon catches his attention. City boy Isha is gorgeous, and when he starts to haunt Jude’s reptile shop as well as the hook-up app on his phone, he's a welcome distraction from Jude’s business problems.
For a control freak like Isha, letting Jude under his skin is an existential meltdown, but Jude’s not in the market to be anyone’s queer crisis, not when he’s facing troubles of his own. Unlocking their lives could push both men apart forever, but it might be a risk worth taking if sharing is the key to their happy future.


My Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. When I agreed to review this book I hadn't realised it was book 3 from the series but it didn't seem to affect the overall the story line at all. However I really couldn't like this book much at all. I enjoyed reading about Jude and the reptiles but Isha really, really annoyed me. I couldn't fathom why he was constantly hiding his sexuality,especially as there was more than enough mention of his friends being out of the closet. Even his inner thoughts didn't really make him any more understandable or appealing to me. I also didn't really feel the connections between the two men and by the end of the book I was just glad to leave them behind me. I am coming to realise that Garrett Leigh is a hit or miss author for me so I am going to be a little more wary about reading any others from the series Lucky but will be looking for more from the series Skins (all the books in that series so far having been 4* reads for me.)
