BLURB:

Dolan versus Everett. Snarky meets stoic.

Dolan Masters loathes many things: root canals, splinters in his fingers, and people putting toilet paper on the roll wrong—loose end over the top, please. But the one thing he hates more than anything else is Everett freaking Henson.

Everett Henson spends more time with animals than people, his best friend Eli being the exception. The downside of that friendship means crossing paths with Dolan Masters; the man who rubs Everett wrong in every way possible.

But a baby changes everything.

With both men believing they deserve the honor of being the godfather to their best friends’ baby, the only way to settle things is through a competition. Will there be bloodshed, or will these two realize the truth staring them in the face?

May the best godfather win.

Godfather Wars is a stand-alone MM romantic comedy, filled with funny mishaps, snarky banter, and colorful language.

REVIEW:

This book was so funny in some ways and so sad in others. The funnier part of this book was Dolan’s pregnany best friend. And the torment she put them through. But when you see the bigger picture, you’ll see that even through the torture, there was something there between the two of them, and she had the perfect scheme to get them to get past whatever it was to move forward.

Dolan could not stand Everett. Everything about the man just made him so angry. And he had his reasons. It didn’t help that at every turn he had to see the man because Dolan’s and Everett’s best friends were married. And now pregnant. And convinced these two need a competition to see who would be named the godfather of the baby. Little did they know, she was up to something, but both were so blind in their dislike for each other, they couldn’t see what everyone else seemed to see. That there was more to the story. Little by little, through the baby tests they were put through, they were becoming tentative friends. But it wasn’t until a weekend where Dolan went to visit his brother and he invited Everett along, that things really changed. And they finally got to the bottom of the hostility between the two of them. Maybe now that the air has been cleared, they can move on in a new start. After all, they still had to see who was going to be the best godfather.

I wish I could stamp on people’s foreheads about communication. It is the KEY to any relationship. Friendship, blind date, lovers, marriage, business, whatever. You have to have an open line of communication. And because of a lack of communication on several different parts, something that could have been solved with a few words, ended up in hurt feelings and resentment and a dose what is wrong with me? It made me sad when I read the reason behind why Dolan was so upset. I got why he was. He kind of pushed too far some days, but when the levels get that high, a lot of speaking before you think gets involved. But no one could deny the chemistry between the two, no matter how much they snarked at each other. And that in itself was funny at times. It was a constant one up with them. Which was why it was perfect for what Dolan’s best friend had in mind. I really did like these two. I was hoping they could get past what was eating at them, because at the heart of them both, they were kind, loyal and loving friends. Even if they couldn’t be anything else, they could be great friends for each other. And it was obvious in the stuff they did for others, how big their hearts really were. 

It’s a good story. I laughed and cried and enjoyed it so much. And if you haven’t read it yet, you should.
