Warning! Gushing, quotes that may be spoilers, Please proceed with caution.
I still can't believe how much I LOVED this book.
This book checked all boxes, sometimes it ain’t that deep just go with the flow and you will enjoy this.
It was love at first chapter then I decided to get comfortable and enjoy the ride.

MC1 Kelly the professor
MC2 Blue the NFL player
Blue and Kelly are been friends and have been since they were 12. Kelly is gay and has been in love with Blue for years.
I was a little embarrassed to even voice the thought. I was a walking, talking cliché—the gay man secretly pining for his straight best friend.
One night when they are drunk, Blue decides to give into the attraction that he has been hiding and asks Kelly to Kiss him. I was afraid that the book would go down hill, or it will be your typical, straight guy kisses gay best friend then freaks out and stops talking for half the book. I was wrong, IMO it got better.
I loved that the two of them talked things out. I can see why this book got mixed reviews because of Blue. I understood him and did not feel that he was stringing Kelly along he was trying to figure things out. I loved how he did not make a big deal out of it and like me he went with the flow. And now I want a best friend like him. Blue genuinely loves Kelly, he just didn’t know he was in love with him.
They were born to love and fall in love, even though their relationship was somehow codependent bordering unhealthy, i enjoyed it.
And while looks were nice and all, that’s not what made me love him. He was sweet under that tough football-player exterior. He stood up for me, usually when my smart mouth got a little too smart and got me in a pickle. And when he got drafted to the NFL, he could’ve gotten a big head and left me in the dust. He didn’t. Instead he paid off my student loans and helped me financially through graduate school. No questions asked. And he didn’t bat an eyelash when I told him I was gay. I didn’t even think it crossed his mind to make me feel weird about it.
I adored Kelly with his tattoos and piercings and he was a geek.. I loved that he was not a doormat, he stood up for himself and was not afraid to call Blue out when he was being a little bit of douche. I loved his sense of humor I was laughing out loud while reading his POV. His family was good too.
I glanced over at the stony face of my ex-fiancé, Robert—also known as a suspect in my future murder. To be fair, he’d only been my ex for three minutes. I kind of just broke up with him.
He didn’t take it well
The chemistry between these two was on fire and bounced off pages, after all they have been best friends for years.
The Sex scenes were hot and funny, yes! Kelly and Blue cracked jokes while having sex.
“Let me in, sweetheart.”
“Trying,” I said with a grunt.
“It’s gonna take me a while to get used to this sucker.”
“I guarantee you will.” He chuckled softly, almost ruefully. “I’m pretty sure you were made for me.”
“Made for you?” I raised an eyebrow, but my sassiness took a hit when he finally eased inside me. We both sighed with pleasure. “I’m going to give you a back rub after we’re finished. You must be tired from hauling that ego around all day.”
He snorted. “Shut up, Kel.”
“How do you know you weren’t made for me?”
“I’m older. I was around before you were even a thought.” He stuck out his tongue. “Deal with it.”
The secondary characters were well written and there was no manufactured drama. Just a story about best friends who have loved each other for years finally figuring their shit out.
I love SE Harmon’s writing and her sense of humor. Ever since I read Stay with me I got hooked, I am just sad that she has not written many book. She is one author I would have loved to binge read.
Overall I loved it hard! I can’t wait for book 2 and maybe 3 and 4.
This book deserves 5 stars from me!
