Ache
by Marley Valentine
If you enjoy a story packed with romance tropes this will be a good read. There is also quite a bit of emotional tension.
I purchased this story because I like the narrator, and I thought it would be interesting to hear them team up. I enjoyed the performance, but the main characters and the plot just didn't quite work for me. This might be projecting, but ... So many instances of gay for you or friends to lovers stories are classic examples of a demisexual character who is trying to sort out their identity. I hesitate to discount how the character eventually identifies himself, but his behavior fits the general definition of demisexual, and I think the story would have flowed better if that had been explored.
