Review: Loving Graham

Loving Graham by Kenna Knight
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a story about two men, who both have bitter backgrounds. Graham almost lost himself to drugs and addiction. Through a lot of work, he’s made it back. He’s now a successful business owner, having opened Tease, a high-end salon. And he gives generously to those he cares about. He had a muse that helped him, so he’s paying it forward by helping those around him. But he’s never gotten to the point where he thinks he’s made up for how low he went.

Levi’s background is gritty, he was abandon as a baby and grew up in the orphanage. So, he has a low sense of self-worth already. Adding to his low self-esteem, Levi lost at love, hurting so bad that he doesn’t want to risk his heart ever again.

Levi is a cop, he sees the worst that is out there, leaving him a ‘bitter realist’. When Graham’s salon is stolen from for the third time, Levi catches the case. It’s a case of insta-love for them both. And they have help from both of their best friends. Reading their story as the romance blooms is beautiful. The journey has its ups and downs. There are misunderstandings and tears along the way as they both open up to each other.

The plotting of this story was well done, mixing the romance with the robbery elements. And mostly the writing is great. There were a few places where more editing might have helped. Where I wasn’t sure who was doing the talking. Overall though I did enjoy this story and I did see growth in the author’s writing. I am looking forward to the next story from them.
