Proceed.
These two are ridiculous but I loved watching Jake fall HARD for Ezra while helping him with his makeover.
I usually hate the whole 'needs makeover to be worth attention' trope but this was saved by the fact that Jake was criminally into Ezra 'before' and was lowkey bitter about each change Ezra felt he needed to make in order to get Sean to notice him.
Meanwhile as straight Jake was falling, Ezra really was doing practice ...more
Backing your best friend up against a wall and caressing his cheek and lower lip with your thumb while doing the weekly check in, "Are you still in loBacking your best friend up against a wall and caressing his cheek and lower lip with your thumb while doing the weekly check in, "Are you still in love with me?" is totally straight behavior, by the way.
Nothing to see here.
Love how this super straight guy thinks things like 'Is he insane? Of course I’ll be thinking about him and how he’s supposed to be where I am. Always.' about his best friend but thinks it's par for the course.
I will not lie, though. Tripped me up a bit when Vaughn started saying he'd thought about being more than friends with Austin before, though, because he explicitly thought to himself that he was totally unequivocally straight prior, so I'm wondering what this 'more than friends' thought looked like to him.
Codependent platonic soulmates who cuddle and live together and obsess about each other? Terrible time to be Vanessa, Vaughn's girlfriend of FIVE YEARS.
This has that 'I was oblivious for 82 years but now that I've opened my eyes, I realize I've probably been in love with him longer than I could have thought' thing which I usually hate, but I'll allow it because Vaughn is a total sweetheart so he gets a pass.
'Having sex with your best friend is awesome. I highly recommend it.'
Oh, you do, do you? Real shocker. No, really, I'm SHOCKED that he wanted to fuck the guy he's been nuzzling and cuddling all his life.
It's always the ones you least suspect, smh.
This book surprised me. It didn't go how I expected it to go and I loved that. Is it sick that I love being wrong?
'I guess I thought sex would allow me to show him just how much I love him.'
First questions first. Which of the two had lube at the ready in the hospital? The dying one or the other, who was ALSO dying but at a slower rate?

These two are some horny ass MFs(but prepared). I'm not sure which of them was a boy scout.
I've wanted to read a book where the royal MC is an actual crown prince and not a spare because everyone seems to dodge that. This author didn't so yay for me.
BUT. The first 30% or so of this kinda bored me. I mean, it was necessary, I guess, to know both MCs as individuals before we got to know them as a duo(because those two got symbiotic AF in the truest sense of the term).
Anyway. At first they both spoke a bit like therapists. Too self-aware. They both had issues, sure. Issues for dayssss. But I was worried they wouldn't be able to truly bring the drama when I needed it.
I shouldn't have worried.
Of course what you'd expect to happen with a royal affair situation happens. They get outed. Very publicly.
But the reactions had me rolling my eyes.
Because let me tell you if the man I was in love with turned out to be a literal prince? LOL. Let's just say my reaction would have him reassessing a (very valid) suspicion that I could be a gold digger.
That said, I love this business of one MC deciding that if he can't have the other after exhausting all possible avenues to get him back, he'll simply......die.
Real lovers are so back.
If you don't waste away when you can't have him, what's even the point?
Man said I have energy for one thing, and if I can't have him, anything else is merely a waste of time holding on to a life I'd rather not live.
I fuck with that. That MC is alright in my book.

If I had to summarize this, it would be a straight best friend bi-awakening wet dream. But like an emotional wet dream.
These two are adorable with each other from the jump, though James was definitely doing a lot of flirting and confusing tf out of Ethan.
James tickles Ethan when he's about to fall asleep because he feels left out. How adorable is that(for everyone except Ethan)?
Wants to do a lot of cuddling just because. Very tactile.
A lot of boner hiding ensued. But finally! Ethan's boners got salvation. We thank God.
The conflicts in this were external to them and their relationship. Sports related and family stuff.
Loved the sports bit, hated the family bit but maybe it was best for the MC in question.
Loved the revelation that James had been unwittingly emotionally terrorizing his unsuspecting gay besties for a while.
Like yeah, I'm unsurprised there was a pattern there and also that he never saw it before.
His closet was glass, the door was wide open AND there was a mysteriously strong gale of wind pushing him out.
It was enjoyable, even in the face of zero flip fucks but I guess we can't have everything.

And no, there's no cheating or sharing or anything like that in this. It's just that with context, which would sadly be too spoiler-y, it's a really sweet thing for Finn to say to Ori in that specific situation.
The best part overall, though? That this was friends to lovers without the gay one having spent the first half of his life already pining for the straight one. If anything, the straight one fell fast and had to do a lot of the initiation. (FYI their first intimate scene wasn't even a hands on each other type thing but ...more

Sure, they lived in the same house half the time but the building of the friendship was too slow and too halting. It was only later that I appreciated that they'd built a solid foundation of friendship before feelings got involved.
Because once feelings got involved, whew!
The ex wife deciding she wanted her man back? And talking to her manny about it? The jokes write themselves.

I loved this! In spite of the fact that I heard Joel Leslie in my head the WHOLE time even though I very specifically didn't wait for the audiobook.
You can't help but love Artie, he's so adorable. And surprisingly had a spine. I thought his innocence would end up with him declaring himself too early and we'd get the stereotypical plot line of him heartbroken while Jed got his head out of his ass. I'm glad this didn't go that way.
Speaking of Jed(whose name reminds me of biblical Jebediah, for some reason)

Like sure, there's that ONE time when they're still just friends and one MC has a painful sexual encounter with another guy and the other MC finds out and they have a delightful mutually awkward conversation on anal fissures.
But after that? The most ooey gooey sweetness.
Slow burn by force because Zeke is demi, and Carter totally falls for him first, almost gives himself an ulcer trying to hide it, then finally listens to a teammate and asks him out on a date.

Like, yes, baby. Way to set expectations. No half-assing it to be tolerated from Gray. No pressure? Fuck that. All the pressure.
Nah, this had me giggling and kicking my feet.
Remy being all coy with it, wanting it but fearing to ask for it. Gray giving him time to figure things out but secretly losing his shit that it may not be in his favor.
Yep. Real yearners are so back.

Neither was this a book I expected to be more sweetness than horn. And there was plenty of sexual stuff going on, believe me.
Somehow, Gangbang Lacy and we’re-all-God’s-creatures-Thaddeus were a match made in heaven. Who'd have thunk?
Obviously there was a LOT of religious fueled wringing of hands(and delusion).
Thad did some unintentionally hurtful stuff but the one thing he had going was that he never once judged Lacy. For any of it. Not the drugs. Not the gangbangs. As far as he was concerned, Lacy was the Second Cumming lol.
Could never quite believe someone like Lacy would deign to be with lil' old him. No. All the judgement was reserved for himself.
Having grown up in the church, he couldn't align his 'special friendship' with Lacy to what he believed at the core of his being to be wrong in the eyes of God.
But they made a good go at accepting each other. Atheist Lacy setting aside a room in his house for a Jesus figurine, Bible and desk for Thad to pray from when he'd spend the night at Lacy's.
Until the night he found Thad praying out loud for the sin he kept committing with Lacy and asking God for the strength to stop.
Everything pretty much went to shit after that. Thad's commitment to honesty was NOT doing him any favors in that conversation.
The truth did set him free, though. Because Lacy dumped THE FUCK out of him...more
Asking your boyfriend for some time to allow you get over your side piece is ballsy. Did not think our Georgie had it in him.
George fucking Joq while Asking your boyfriend for some time to allow you get over your side piece is ballsy. Did not think our Georgie had it in him.
George fucking Joq while thinking solely of Finn reminded me of that time in Devious Maids when Evelyn asked Adrian if he'd fucked her with another woman's erection.
Naughty Georgie. The worst part was that he wasn't even imagining Finn in sexual situations. Just Finn being Finn. Only imagining a kiss at the end.

I have this theory(that I believe so strongly it may as well be a religion) that dead spouses do NOT a good romantic backdrop make.
Authors either tend to villainize the dead spouse in order to make the new love interest seem a better fit for the MC or they overcorrect and make the dead spouse such a paragon of virtue that the new love interest can never really compete in comparison so it appears that the MC has settled for the next best thing in loving him.
This one falls in the former category. AND the new love interest is dead spouse's bestie. Which......whew!
Triggered another self-discovery because while I (grudgingly) want my loved ones to find happiness after I'm gone, they better fucking not find it in each other. Did I fucking die so y'all could find each other? What the fuck do I look like? The matchmaker from beyond the grave? Nope. No. 6ft apart AT ALL TIMES.
Better yet? Come join me. Let's all be dead together.
Anyway. Dead Spouse this time was a very fickle man who would passionately pursue things(and Frankie), get them, then almost promptly get bored of them. Fucked around on him. THEN he died, left Frankie a 24 year old widower and SADDLED with debt. Ouch.
Mayyyyyyybe I can understand(and absolve) him (3 years later) being into the bestie.
The number of times they got interrupted JUSSSSSSSSSST before something could happen was infuriating lol like how is the universe working this hard against you?
Made for some really good pining and breathy behavior, though, so I have no complaints.
It's helpful that meddling friends intervened and resulted in an 'only one bed' situation.(in a honeymoon suite, no less—these meddlers were NOT playing) "I'm sure we've slept together before." "If we'd slept together before, you would have remembered it." ...more
