The Model Agency - Book Three

Review

A beautiful story, full of ups and downs, struggles, and second chances.

Both men have had their struggles, and the age gap highlights not just what they are, but how they handle them.

Xavier is young and brash, confronting issues with the bluntness of youth, while Reuben is steady but also wearier. His career as a photojournalist has taken its toll, and his commitment to his friends means he puts them before himself pretty much always (even toxic best friends).

What results is a lengthy and turbulent span of time between their first whirlwind affair to their second chance. When Xavier is the one who needs to face his demons and make a choice about his future.

They are beautiful together in this gentle, loving story.

Synopsis

Once upon a time, Reuben Langley broke Xavier Conway’s heart.

Five years later, Xavier has convinced himself that he’s over it. Now a famous supermodel, his life is filled with faraway locations, glamorous parties, even more glamorous men, and so much noise. And if his mind still drifts to the quiet and responsible war photographer he loved and lost, then no one else has to know.

Xavier’s living the dream until everything comes tumbling down around him, and when he hits absolute rock bottom, the person there to pick up the pieces is Reuben.

Reuben fell in love with Xavier the first moment he met him—a wild, sassy boy in a hotel bar. When he found out that he was his best friend’s son, it should have stopped him, but it didn’t. That passionate affair came to a disastrous and painful end, and since then, Reuben’s had to be content with the tiny glimpses he’s had of Xavier over the years. But now, Xavier needs him, and Reuben isn’t going to turn away this time.

Set in London and the Inner Hebrides, this is a story of second chances and a constant, hopeful love.

This is the third book in the Model Agency series, but it can be read as a standalone.
