This book captures the ephemeral nostalgic vibe of yaoi manga I used to carefully pore over in the nearest Borders bookstore an hour and a half away, trying to select the perfect 13 dollar gems, hoping that there was enough sex and drama and fun hidden inside the shrinkwrap to tide me over until the next trip. ANGEL/PEARL feels just like one of those gems, something I would have absolutely kept through the years, taken on multiple moves to sit proud in the All-Timer yaoi shelf. 😌🙏💖
Bram is a delightful wall of muscle hiding a soft underbelly, extremely bullyable and yet believable as a gang leader; Rohan is tantalizingly coy, wary, and a little mysterious; and Angel, ohh Angel, Pearl, he is a little menace and an absolute kitten and it is hard not to be entranced by him and his ongoing mission to boldly fuck where no one has fucked before. Utterly lovable. And then there's Lee... and Ram.. EVERYONE is SEXY!! You'll see!!!
