Marshall: Book 1 - Mayfair Model series by Claire Castle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sweet.

Touching.

This book melted my heart. The way Claire Castle describes the feelings of her characters is inspiring and I lived for the dialogue between them.

Marshall is a closeted runway/ad model with a reputation for being gruff. He has no one in his life but his overbearing homophobic mother because giving anything away would potentially ruin him. Since he adopted Jess, his pretty puppy, he has something to look forward to at the end of each day.

Stuart is an artist and a dog walker. When he takes up a new client, Jess, he realizes he's never met the owner, but can feel the desolation from his space when he's in his home. After a one night hookup with a nameless man, Stuart can't believe it when he sees him again...and is the owner of Jess.

I loved both MC's. They were true to their character and honest and at times very raw. They both gave and gave without reservation and it was so fun to read their story.

The dialogue was engaging, sweet, sexy and fun. Stuart was snarky and kind and I was overwhelmed at the feelings that Marshall could convey through his stuttering words and gestures.

This was a very well done, fantastic story of two men who find what they've been missing and realize they can be more, together.
