Sweet Friends to lovers story about two guys who are clueless about each other's feelings. I thought it was funny that everyone knew how they felt but them. The girlfriend was a pieced of work. I liked both mc's though I felt they moved to sex super fast for one of them having been straight.

I love a friends-to-lovers, gay-for-you story and this one was no exception. These guys are band members but what I liked was they they weren't superstars, they were 'real'. They had 'a few extra pounds' and day jobs. The story kept me engaged, although I wanted to shake these boys and get them talking! Bitchy ex-girlfriend, interfering families, understanding best friends, happy ending. I'd like to read Ross' story next.

I total love the story, I love how they both love each other but seem so oblivious. There were so many signs they ignore but it all wonderful. Keagan and Alistair are really perfect for each other and i wish Alistair's ex got worse than a little harassment for all the drama she caused even thought that brought Keagan and Alistair closer.

Loved this friends to lovers story. There were some really sweet moments between these two friends that made their strong bond believable. The story also included some very likeable secondary characters in the form of a large, meddling family and some friends who might have benefitted from a bit of "mind your own..." which I do think MC Alastair did actually tell them several times.
I do think that perhaps the secondary characters might have been given a little more page space, they did interest, and giving them more would not have detracted from the story, only enhanced it.
Alastair and Keagan were sweet friends and the outcome was inevitable really the fun was reading the thought processes and the meddling family attempts to get the thoughts going in the right direction.
