Ty and Declan have been best friends for more years than not. Even after Ty finishes college, the two remain roommates. Declan has struggled to understand his sexuality since his teen years and for the most part, ignores it. Until he realizes that he can no longer ignore his love for Ty. As these two break down the barriers each have put up, their love shines. Even when tragedy strikes, the two bond closer.

Another wonderful aspect of this story is we get to catch up with everyone from the first book. Incredible read!

What can I say about Dec and Ty

Th was such a scene stealer in the previous books so it was hard not to be excited for his story. Declan was such a mystery to me and I could not wait for more of his backstory. Carly did such a fantastic job with this book and I am so looking forward to more from such a talented new author.

less kinky than the first story. It did include the military coming out trope that was well done. The best friend trope as well didn't feel over done.

main conflict resolved very quickly and there was nothing supporting it afterwards

The story was compelling enough but the narrator did a poor job. Every sentence had the same tone an rhythm, which distracted a lot. The emotional range was missing, too.

Lace and Satin

Carly Marie is a new talent who's work deserves recognition.
This is the second book in the set -- each book focuses on a specific kink this far. The books can be read standalone if you're not up for a particular theme. The first book focused on Derek and his boyfriend - now husband - Cole. Their theme was ABDL, and there is a little of that here as well.

This book is about Ty and Dec, who have had unrequited crushes on each other for almost a decade. Ty is a veterinarian and Dec is a Navy Seal. (If you're a fan of Annabeth Albert's Out of Uniform books, you'llnprobably enjoy this one.

This is their cute get together story, with more insanity from the entire Scott family. The kink here is Ty's love of lace and satin. This is pretty fluffy, well paced, and contains the same lack of family boundaries as the first book. (My family would spontaneously combust.)

I'm looking forward to installment three!

Great friends to lovers story.

Wow! I laughed, cry and awe so much it's was great.

My favourite trope is friends to lovers and I like it didn't take too long before it's started. I really love the background story and how close they all are like a big family with the other characters.

You should read it.
