Beautifully Unexpected by Lily Morton

5.0

The book starts off with a bang and and the two men quickly develop a friendship. Although they both feel they are looking for casual hookups, something about Laurie draws Magnus to him, and vice versa. With both men being older, they feel they are set in their ways and they don't want to change for anyone. But as their friendship grows, so do their feelings. This is a sweet, snarky, slow-burn romance with characters who are flawed but come to accept who they are and what they want. Both men shine in this book. I also appreciated a story about two older men who fell in love and shared a connection neither of them could find before. Wonderful and highly recommended!
