Wtf happened with this one? The conversations between the men are absolutely juvenile. DNF @24%
So a large part of the reason I picked up this series is because Felix, Griff's son, is one of the main characters in the second Franklin U book, The Dating Disaster. Griff and Heath make a brief appearance in his book, and I just had to go back and read about how they got together. It was also super fun seeing a younger Felix!
Friends to lovers can be a sort of take it or leave it trope for me, so I was so glad when the progression of the relationship between Griff and Heath really clicked for me. Saxon James takes what I think is a really interesting approach to this well-worn trope. Many times it's a case of one of the leads having been into the other for a long while, and maybe the other lead is oblivious to it or thinks he's straight or whatever. In Platonic Rulebook, Griff and Heath have been best friends for decades and neither has ever thought about the other in a sexual or romantic light... until suddenly they do.
Their chemistry and relationship are so fun to read as they progress and try to fumble their way through the way things are evolving. And I just love when they try to resist, haha!
This is the second book in the Divorced Men's Club series, and can be read as a stand-alone. That being said, definitely read the first book, Roommate Arrangement, because it will make Griff's (fake?) thirsting over Beau that much funner. ;) Also, I NEED book three (Budding Attraction) in my face RIGHT NOW, PLEASE.

Griff & Heath were absolutely fantastic! I loved that unlike most friends to lovers books these two had nothing but platonic feelings for each other to start with. I love pining but this was a breath of fresh air. They get each other and are so supportive of one another. The rest of the DMC continues to be great. The scene of all of them at the clothing store with Griff was hilarious!

Gfiff and Heath were awesome. I love them so much! This was a smart way to do best friends to lovers where there wasn’t one of them pining after the other secretly for years. They have a genuine, wonderful friendship that just happens to deepen naturally as their circumstances change with Griff’s divorce. The ear tug thing was the sweetest thing ever! Felix is definitely a super sassy twink and I hope to see his finding out about Griff and Heath from his POV in his upcoming book in Saxon’s Shenanigans offering out later this summer. I pray for lots of patience for his boyfriend lol A great low angst offering. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
