Employing Patience
by Saxon James
I've loved the tension between Art and Joey as side characters in the previous book in the series - it was apparent that they'd get their own book at some point, and this is it!
Art acts like a total f^(%boy, but it's apparent he cares very deeply about people, as shown by his starting the Divorced Men's Club as a space to give other men a safe space to process and express their feelings and talk about all the love and relationship mushy stuff without any stigma or toxic masculinity. That's just not something someone who is "here for a good time, not for a long time" would do. His big heart is also apparent in his relationship with his niece and nephew (and OH MY GOSH, their cooking ritual is amazing and I laughed so hard!)
Then there's Joey, who acts like he thinks life is a joke even though underneath the carefree exterior he is trying SO HARD to support his sisters and just to keep his head above water. Joey and Art are perfect for each other in that they both present one facet of themselves to the world to hide how deep their feelings really go.
The push/pull between them for a dang DECADE makes this the slowest of burns. Art likes Joey from the jump, but Joey is straight - except maybe Joey isn't that straight, as he's thought about men in the past and he sure is drawn in by Art. They dance around each other, surface level flirting covering a deeper, real attraction. Layers upon hidden layers, these two!
This is the fourth book in the Divorced Men's Club series, and can be read as a stand-alone. Couples from the previous books in the series make an appearance, and if you want to read some of the build up between Art and Joey then read the entire series in order. ;)
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are unbiased and my own.
