BLURB:
There’s a lot in life that comes hella easy for me. Turning heads with my stellar looks, strutting like a peacock with my smooth moves and adorable charm. Heck, need ideas for party shots or fresh recipes to make your friends jealous? I’m your guy.
It’s not even a front—my epic modesty—but that doesn’t mean I’m not a lying liar who lies.
What is definitely not easy is holding so much of myself back from my friends.
Or from myself.
It’s a truth that sucks.
But I can’t do that anymore, and it’s absolutely 100 percent my best friend’s fault.
Since our first college basketball practice, Bentley’s been by my side. He’s sweet, understanding, supersmart, and absolutely smoking hot. What’s more, he’s too good for me.
What I should do is keep our friendship platonic, but apparently patience isn’t my strong suit. Go figure.
Cue me starting something with him that I find impossible to stop, walk away from, or admit aloud.
But loving him… heck if that doesn’t become the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I just need to find a way to be worthy of his love and for him to stay patient as I pull my head out of my ass and give him the world he deserves.

REVIEW:
Bentley and Sammy have been best friends for over three years, they are affectionate, gosh Bentley wishes they were more, no chance, Sammy is straight. Little does he know.
Sammy is scarred and traumatized and because of what happened he can never be with Bentley.
Imagine if history would repeat, no he can’t!
Until he can’t resist the attraction any more. Only, it has to stay secret, nobody can know!
Bentley is happy with what Sammy is willing to give.
They dance around each other, yearning and pining, when there are people around, and hot encounters when it’s just the two of them.
Around Thanksgiving they give each other something precious, read for yourself!
They fit so well, supportive and loving! Let’s say Sammy needs all the support!
This read was quite on the heavy side, not all the time, there’s enough fun, but sweet Sammy has a bunch of stuff to overcome!
There’s a lot of banter, I did scroll a bit, I wasn’t in the right mind for it.
The family matters were sharp, and a good counterbalance to all the sweetness.
Both guys are endearing and deserve their HEA, thank goodness they got it!
Overall a nicely written story, with a good plot and lovable characters.
