Payne discovers his husband has been cheating and leaves him and their life behind to go back to his hometown whilst sorting the divorce. At 40, he never expected to be starting over and moving in with his brothers best friend Beau, and being roommates wasn't in his life plan either. Beau has always had feelings for Payne so being in such close proximity to him is difficult, he worries his scatterbrained tendencies are going to be too much for Payne to handle but Payne embraces Beau for who he is and feelings soon start to develop.
I enjoyed this friends to lovers/brothers' best friend/roommates romance. The way the romantic element developed between Beau & Payne felt so natural and steady, and their connection outside of it shone through. There was mutual respect and friendship there from the start. Beau is very clearly neurodivergent although that isn't expressly stated by the author, but if he isn't an ADHD King, I would be shocked! Beau is quirky and adorable, and Payne matches his energy and encourages/helps him with things it's clear others in Beaus past have ridiculed him for. I liked that the MCs were older Payne 40 & Beau 36, and the Divorce Men's Club Payne becomes a part of seems filled with characters whose stories I'm looking forward to.
Overall, this is a low angst, cute cosy reas with good banter and spice sprinkled in and gave me all the warm fuzzy feelings I was looking for. Nick J Russo narrates and, as always, did a fantastic job with their performance, and I had a great time listening to this book and am already looking forward to the next in this series. 🌶🌶
"The thing about loving someone is you don’t get to do it with conditions attached. I don’t love him, expecting him to return it. I don’t love him, hoping I’ll get over it or that I can transfer that love to someone else. I just love him."
