Review: A Near-Perfect Sequel

Garrett Leigh has demonstrated something to me that, heretofore, I didn't believe possible. Her book "Rare" is a sequel to "Slide", the first book about Ash and Pete, a remarkable, damaged, but big-hearted couple. It has its share of typical romance angst, the obligatory near-death disaster and the days in the hospital, which would normally make it just another typical M/M Romance novel.But "Rare" is so much more than that because Ms. Leigh is so amazingly talented, her way with words such an ongoing revelation, that what might be trite or formula in another author's hands becomes nothing less than art in hers.It is rare that I find myself so engrossed in a book, so transported to other places and other lives, that I read without break, almost living the experiences on the page. But that's exactly what these two books did to me. I, literally, couldn't put either one down, and read them both (approximately 500 pages) as a single, continuous book - and loved every minute of it.My hat is off to Ms. Leigh, who has produced not one, but two books that perfectly exemplify what the best of M/M Romance can be.Thank you, Ms. Leigh, for a wonderful reading experience.
