A new person will enter your life in the early year, Leo. Look past any moments of frustration they might bring and laugh—this could be the start of a thriving friendship.
Theo Wallace usually laughs at the horoscopes his mom sends. Still hung up on his ex-girlfriend and practically friendless, this one begs him to reconsider. Because a friendship that stuck, that thrived…
Well, that would be a reason to leave past pains behind and look to the Bright Future.
When his sister Leone challenges him to find her the perfect date for a spring wedding, Theo uses it as a chance to make new friends. Theo’s ex economics tutor and newest roommate Mr Jamie Cooper seems to be a possible and convenient match. Real convenient. Like written in the stars, convenient.
All he has to do is make sure this Jamie is good enough. Could really be the one for her, and the friend for him.
But watch out, Leo, the stars have a surprise in store…
Leo Loves Aries, if anything, is a slow burn romance. One of the most slow burns in contemporary romance that I've read, and it surprises me how much I loved the slow burn aspect without becoming frustrated at the pace or the characters. That's simply because it wasn't boring at any time, no, the story was full of banter, incredible chemistry, stubborn and adorable characters, and just about real life.
I love stubborn characters because I can relate with them so much - I am quite a stubborn person myself. Theo, the main character, must be one of the most stubborn characters I've read about, especially when it comes to competitions. His and Jamie's small, everyday life competitions were so adorable, especially the infamous peanut butter one; smooth or chunky. I had so many laughs of Theo and Jamie's stubbornness, as well as their incredible banter. There was banter everywhere, and it was so much fun! I loved how the story was funny and lighthearted at times but also tackled some more serious matters such as past relationships and different kind of fears and how to overcome them.
One of the important aspects of the story was how it focused also on Theo's relationship with his sister Leone, some friendships, and featured Theo and Leone's families, as well as Jamie's family and closest friend. Overall, the story was well rounded because it included normal aspects of life as well as the brilliant slow burn romance.
In conclusion, I loved about everything in Leo Loves Aries. Especially Theo and Jamie, and their banter because it was genius and funny and made me laugh out loud so often. I'll surely check out Anyta Sunday's other books, and I highly recommend this one if you happen to enjoy slow burn romance with lots of banter.
5 of 5 stars.
