Book Review: King of the Mountain (Love at Lake Clyde #1) by Aiden Ainslie

 


Blurb

American cycling sensation and heartthrob Clifford Du Frey is riding the wave of success. Brand Du Frey is a multi-million-dollar business, and during the Tour de France, Clifford is mobbed by fans wherever he goes. The superstar must focus on winning the Tour de France and maintaining his fan base.
But Clifford has a secret. He has fallen hard for Gabe O’Reilly – the dreamy art student from San Francisco whom he met on a summer’s day in Paris.
Can Clifford and Gabe’s budding relationship withstand the media storm and other forces arraigned against them? Can the grit and determination that propelled Clifford to the top of his sport help him break out to find true love and happiness?

You will root for Clifford and Gabe as they take you on a steaming hot ride through France and all the way back to their native California.





My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

I enjoyed this story. There were moments that I had tears and others that were warm. Cliff and Gabe both went through some issues, bad decisions made, friendships lost, and great friends to help sort it all out. In the beginning, Cliff was surprised at his reaction to Gabe, but he realized his true feelings before everything went too far. Gabe had good intentions, but two hearts were broken. I probably had tears in my eyes for a large part of the final couple of chapters. This was a good story, though I felt it was dragged out a bit. Overall, though, it was a good read.

I received a copy of this story through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
