A strict older man. A sassy film star. Can opposites attract? After taking early retirement from the police force, Liam is happy avoiding people and tending to his roses. Or he was, until Felix moves in next door. Felix is taking a break from his acting career, even though he's on the cusp of stardom. With his cheeky, persistent, and very naughty behaviour, he gets under Liam’s skin instantly. Felixneeds someone who can set him boundaries—a man who can handle him firmly, but with love. Liam doesn't think he needs anyone, until Felix brings much needed sunshine into his life. Will Felix choose stability and love, or a life of glitz and glamour? A Boy Made of Sunshine is a light hearted gay romance with a grumpy ex-detective, a brash new neighbour, a cute Dalmatian puppy, and lots of brattish behaviour.
The beginning was a bit strange. I found it hard why anyone would be as interested in someone as grumpy, and sometimes even rude, as Liam, let alone if that someone was a kind spirit like Felix. I made an exception and then remembered it is a comedy, because I was finding myself smiling several times (Yeah, I think I have a thing or two for dramas and now I expect them always.) After I relaxed a bit, everything went on the right track.
These two made me smile over and over again, and I liked their dynamic. It was my first time reading comedy, so I found some scenes strange, to be honest, I liked the all of the book. I liked what I’ve read from Collette, so this wouldn’t be an exception. Guess what? It wasn’t. I liked the plot, I liked the characters, how they were funny one second and hot the next, a couple of which at the end of the book that I want to live in real life!
It was a nice trip to know these guys, honestly. I found it arousing and right on spot that I had to wait for the sex, but also liked that Collette strayed faithful to the core of the story: how cute and how reserved Felix and Liam are, respectively, becoming a likeable, respectful couple. Although I’m not that into dominants, I think I could make a good use of a Liam, but maybe not that grumpy hehehe.
All in all, I enjoyed reading A Boy Made of Sunshine. It’s a quick-to-like story once you find the appeal, with two main characters that make you smile and laugh in every chapter. I think Felix’s background as an actor could have had a more development so we get a bigger impact in the final chapters, but I liked it nonetheless and found it sweet as hell.
