Leo: BAR 28 Kindle Edition

by JJ Harper (Author), Jay Aheer (Illustrator), Tanja Ongkiehong (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 548 ratings
Two men, one night, and the chance of a lifetime.

After a destructive relationship ended five years ago, Leo Ritchie hasn’t trusted himself or anyone else enough to try again. He has great friends and loves his job at BAR 28, and for now, it’s enough. That and the late-night online chats with @Brunobear.
Bruno Alderton, one of the most successful male models in the world, has had enough of the constant travelling, jet lag, long hours, and no one to come home to. He spends the lonely hours talking and swapping trivia with his online friend, @Leolion.

Being summoned home to attend his sister’s twenty-first birthday party may not as bad as he thought. Bruno finds the most gorgeous man he’d ever seen. The man he wants to have in his bed every night.

Leo knows he’ll only cause the beautiful man heartache. But the temptation for one night is too strong to resist.
What happens when they both realise they can have what they want with this stranger? Who will be the one to fight for them, and who will want to run away?

This is a sweet and sexy gay romance, filled with tender moments and emotions that will make your heart happy. Leo is the third book in the BAR 28 series and can be read as a standalone. This book is based in the UK and is written in British English.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

You will normally find JJ in the living room—typing away—with her dog, Siddiqi. As a hopeless romantic, she dives into her stories, always falling in love with her men, making sure they get the happy ever after they deserve, even if they do have to work hard for it.

As a bona fide bookaholic, a wine-drinking and swear-like-a-sailor type of girl, she has yet to work out how to act her age!! LOL. And she has no intentions of growing up or growing old gracefully.

JJ lives in a small, very quiet, village in Lincolnshire, UK, with her husband and dog, and spends all day dreaming up stories full of really hot men.

    Leo is strong... Emotonally...though he doesn't consistently see it in himself.
    Meeting someone who appears to have his life on track towards even more fame, causes Leo's doubts to resurface and strain their budding relationship.
    With the backing of wonderful friends and a knowledgeable therapist he is able to move forward.

    The love, romance and humor make this a perfect addition to a great series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Useless Facts, Important Love!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2021

    Supermodel Bruno “Bear” and Bartender Leo “Lion” are anonymous online friends and they are about to meet at his sister’s birthday party. The MCs are likable, although there is a bit of insta-love going on. The storytelling is good but a bit melodramatic. I thought the trivia facts added a cute factor to the tale and made the connection between the MCs pop. I did think the overuse of the descriptor Beautiful and Gorgeous was ironic given Leo's issues. Overall, a good read. Rating: 3.5⭐️⭐️⭐️

    5.0 out of 5 stars Romantic and passionate M/M romance between two deserving guys
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    First, there is remembered physical and mental abuse but not on the page. There is one scene that could be disturbing which regards an eating disorder. Second, you should know that this book is a sweet, steamy and delicious M/M romance. I found myself smiling at the page more often than not. Love. The. Ending! Third, clever way for Leo aka @Leolion and Bruno aka @Brunobear to “meet” before the real meat-cute. I’m smiling again.
    When Leo has trouble sleeping, he connects with @Brunobear and they share useless facts with one another. This happens enough times that @Leolion and @Brunobear share some personal information in vague ways with broad strokes. Unknowingly the useless-facts-swappers meet at Bruno’s sister’s party and have a glorious night. Leo was hoping for more but is happy they had that night until…
    This is a must read if you like passionate and sweet M/M romance. Sharing anymore would ruin it for you. Just know that Leo has been hurt in the past and is afraid of commitment. With Bruno’s lifestyle it is hard to maintain a close relationship. Can they make a go of it? Along the way there are bad people you will want to see hurt and so many good guys at Bar 28 that you will love. I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through Gay Romance Reviews and I LOVED it! Minimum 5 delicious stars.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2021

    Although this book is the third in the series, but the first one that I have read, I didn't get lost because the world-building is so beautifully crafted. There were no stumbles or what the heck moments. It was easy to keep up with who was who, who was with whom, and where the settings were.

    The story features several sensitive issues stemming from an abusive relationship: eating disorders, insecurity, depression, mentions of past cutting. All of these were treated with respect and care.

    Each chapter was headed with a fun fact such as a "...group of parrots is called a pandemonium..." I looked forward to each and every new chapter.

    Leo and Bruno's romance did not come easy, but their HEA was all the sweeter. Leo's friends and supporters are wonderful.

    Each book gets better and better. Since the first book it’s been known that something big happened to Leo but we weren’t given many details. I’m glad he finally got his book and his HEA. Although his story was one that broke my heart, Bruno is just the man to pick up the pieces and love him back to life. Great addition to the series. I can’t wait to see who’s the next to fall.

    Leo's life has not been a good one. His boyfriend was physically and mentally abusive. He got away but still suffered from the abuse. He has good friends and a good job and is working on healing when along comes the most gorgeous Bruno. Could it possibly be that Bruno is the one despite the fact that he is a famous model?

    Leo Bar 28
    This is a series very close to my heart and I’ve been so looking forward to reading Leo’s story and wow it did NOT disappoint in any way.
    Leo, a bartender at Bar 28 and Bruno come across each other on a chat and quickly struck up a flirty relationship of sorts... their banter witty and their exchange of ‘facts’ very funny and I learnt a heap of new information although not sure those facts will help me out day to day 🤣
    Once a face to face meeting happened neither knew that they’d already been chatting to each other but you could tell from the off the undeniable chemistry that was between them both. The relationship was very organic and natural and just felt easy between them ..Leo kind and sensitive and Bruno strong and protective but both very funny and they were an ideal match.
    Whilst this tale was very low on certain angst it was not without a serious side...please take note of trigger warning....Leo, my poor Leo has had a heartbreaking time at the hands of someone who should have cared for and protected him, and this has left him a little gun shy and wary. It has also left some deep scars which manifest themselves into him reverting back to his previous coping mechanisms ...unsurprisingly so... and it takes time for him to open up to Bruno. Luckily the boys of Bar 28 are always there to offer advice and support to them both to help them through and on their way to the ending we all want for them. Whilst there was this heartbreaking side to the story we mustn’t forget there is also much love, laughter, friendship here to enjoy as well.
    JJ Harper is a fantastic storyteller and has a talent for balancing the angst just right so whilst we are able to empathise with the character we don’t lose the joy and positivity threaded through the pages.
    A lot of research has clearly been undertaken for a major part of this storyline and it shows, there is a clear understanding of the issues and it’s handled with extreme care and sensitivity.
    The writing just keeps on evolving and I feel it and see it with every new story, the flow of words, of paragraphs, of chapters is seamless and I was hooked from the first page to the last.
    So thank you and well done on another stonkingly great book, a book so divine that I will definitely putting it firmly on my re-read pile and I just want YOU ALL to read this to experience the joy and love nestled between the pages.
    This is the 3rd book of the Bar 28 series- whilst they are stand-alone books for your greater enjoyment and to meet the other characters I suggest you read them all.

    I really enjoyed this story and love the characters. Maybe it is too dark, but I would have liked the story to focus more on the abuse and how it affected Leo. So many stories just skim over the terrifying acts of violence and controlling behaviour . Maybe it is just not suitable in a romance.
