Review: Little by J.M. Dabney

Little by J.M. Dabney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

J. M. Dabney is just a really great author and I take great pleasure in reading books by this author! This is the second book in the Trenton Security Series, this time focusing on Harmon Little and Solomon Poe. Harmon Little is crazy by anyone's standards. Thrown away when he was a child, bounced from home to home and then living out on the streets, he pretty much had a harsh start to life which has effected how he is as an adult. He has a good job and lots of friends and even a few who he classes as family, but he feels like something or someone is missing. Here a conversation with Lucky's mum (who you would have met in previous books and who is the craziest, quirkiest, most loveable person I have ever read about) about feeling lightening when you've found the one , which ironically then results in Little kidnapping Solomon…..oh yes he does!

Solomon is quirky and suffers from low body image (mainly due to the fact that he isn't like the rest of his family, you know the slim, perfect, body obsessive type) but he totally gets Little, even if he was a little apprehensive about being kidnapped.....but who wouldn't?

Here starts a really amazing love story between two people who just feel right, in a world which doesn’t necessarily agree with their choices (but we don’t give those people any unnecessary air time if it can be helped). There are definite highs and lows in this book and some moments where you just don't know how it is going to work (i.e. when Little has to go undercover) but as usual Ms. Dabney just makes it work between characters and I have to say that this is one of my favourite books that I have read from her. The books are an easy read and can be demolished in an afternoon with a cup of tea and some biscuits, although be warned, you will want to just binge read every single J.M. Dabney book you can get your hands on as well as be friends with most of the men and women that pop up in them.

I particularly love Solo's fondness for bow ties which is super cute. There are also moments with characters from previous books that made me smile and laugh out loud.

If you haven't read a J. M. Dabney book before, you need to start as you are missing out on a brilliant writer!
