Ache
by Marley Valentine
What we get:
• MM
• Best friends to lovers
• Angst
They say “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”, but more times than not, that shit follows you home! Jordan whisks his best friend Gael off to Vegas for his bachelor party, but this trip isn’t so altruistic because it’s also a chance for Jordan to get in some alone time with Gael, who he happens to be in love with. Their time in Vegas was everything I didn’t know I wanted or needed (hello shower scene!)
But OHHH, this book made me feel all sorts of things!! Some may consider what I’m about to say a spoiler, but the blurb insinuates it so stop reading now if you want to go in completely blind….
…I always said I wasn’t a fan of cheating unless it was warranted (ie: persons in an abusive relationship they can't get out of and fall in love with someone else) BUTTTTTT even though Elena didn’t do anything wrong and I truly felt bad for her, I was rooting for Gael and Jordan SO DAMN HARD! The way Marley wrote their characters and their love for one another completely negated any negative feelings I normally would have towards how these two crossed the line from friendship into something more. Gael was scared of Jordan’s past rejection from years ago, but Jordan only did that because he was scared of being part of an experimental stage for Gael and couldn’t risk losing him, no matter how much Jordan loved him. These two deserved their chance at love!
I also have to give a quick mention to Gaels family
