Visions of Love (Cut to the Feeling #3) by Noah Steele







Blurb

When grief-stricken law school dropout Marc Marchand visits an art exhibit, the long-forgotten butterflies in his chest finally beat their wings again—all thanks to kind-hearted Scottish artist Connor May.

Marc has been living in a world turned gray ever since he lost the first great love of his life. But Connor fills the world with colors Marc forgot existed. He burns like a hearth melting the ice around Marc’s heart.

When Marc takes the one chance he thought he’d never take again, the two share an unexpected kiss both familiar and strange.

The sparks between them are undeniable. He’s falling for Connor, and Connor for him. But is that love strong enough for Marc to leave his grief—and his guilt—behind?

Visions of Love is book 3 in the Cut to the Feeling series. It’s a low-angst gay instalove romantic drama that can stand alone, but is better read as part of the series.


Review 
My Rating - 4.5 Stars!


Noah Steele's Visions of Love, the third book in the Cut to the Feeling series, is a sweet and tender story of healing. Although easily read as a standalone, it's even more enjoyable if you've read the previous books. 

Marc
is attracted to Connor, the first time he's been attracted to anyone since his husband died. Connor reminds him of his husband, but there's so much more to this attraction. They may start off with a quick kiss, but theirs is a slow developing relationship in the long run, which is a nice twist to the typical insta-love storyline.

Both men have depth to them. Marc is a complex man who has a lot of emotional baggage. Connor, meanwhile, struggles with his fame; just wanting to be liked for himself, not his art. I absolutely love these complex characters. 

Their story also involves some crazy fans, horrific nightmares, and some hot moments. There is a whole lot of depth to this story, as Marc struggles with not only grief, but also with guilt and the pain involved with forgiving oneself. The author does a fantastic job, tackling the pain and fear involved with taking a second chance on love with compassion and care.

Visions of Love is a stellar story of forgiving oneself and embracing happiness. It's a lovely story, a total feel-good romance. I am once again impressed with Noah Steele's ability to write emotional characters.
