2.5 This one was ok. Definitely not my favorite in the series. Will "Chuck" is running across country to hide from and Ex. Trey (seen in previous books) meets Chuck when he comes into the Chinese food place looking for a job. this book has some suspense dealing with Chucks Ex and very little Romance between Trey and Chuck. They storyline romance between the two MC's just seemed a little rushed. Its like Chuck gets away from Ex. Meets Trey. They find a way to get rid of the Ex and then the story is just done. I really would have liked more story between Trey and Chuck in the middle, more of them being together as a couple, and maybe a little more Drama with the ex as well since there was a really quick fix on that problem. I do like how the Author keeps pulling in characters from previous books to help out the new characters, that keeps it interesting.
Audio - I'm glad Michael is back narrating this one. I actually enjoyed the narration A Lot more than the story for this one. He does a good job with the voices and keeping them all separate so you know who is talking.

This was a quick read. I like it but it left me with one major question. Why didn't Will reveal his real name to Trey?

3.5 stars rounded up. Not quite as good for me as Georgie's story but close, really, really close so this one was probably more like 3.75 stars.

4.5 Stars

I loved this story. Trey and Will/Chuck had a good chemistry. There was a great connection there. The story was interesting and exciting. It was action packed and I couldn't put it down. I had to see what would happen next.
So, why not 5 Stars? It all wrapped up too neatly and way too fast. The end of the book felt rushed. I wanted to see Trey and Will/Chuck get to know one another. I wanted the relationship have time to develop. Everything in the story moves at a good pace, until the last chapter then "Bam" it's over. When I turned to the last page I was shocked the book was done. I loved it, but it felt unfinished. I think it needed a good two or three more chapters added to it or some of the beginning should have been eliminated and more of them as a couple should have been added.
Even though the end was rushed it was still a good read and it had an awesomely hot sex scene!

I'm sadly surprised to say that I'm disappointed with Trey and Will/Chuck's story. I loved getting to know them and getting to revisit the others. However, I didn't like seeing them both first with others and then having them get together so far into the story and then so quickly having the story end. It just doesn't convince me that they're anything to each other.

This was the least favorite of the series for me. The beginning was hare-brained, the solution to the drama was a lucky coincidence that got my eyes rolling like crazy. I liked Trey and Will together, but the real surprise for me was Evan; although he was only a side character I liked him a lot and I'm looking forward to reading his story.

Finally Found, book eight in the More Than Friends series by Aria Grace. Another great storyline with some more great characters! The two main characters in this story were Trey and a new character Will / Chuck. Will runs across the country because his ex’s father is trying to have him killed to keep his mouth shut about his son. (That’s the reason for the name change.). We also meet a couple more new characters and some of the old favorites. Love the way the story ends with one exception. Chuck never tells Trey his name is really Will. ??? Any way I can’t wait to read the next one it sounds like it’s going to be good!

This was a fabulous, quick read from the More Than Friends series. Loved reading this story from both Trey and Will/Chuck's point of view and getting a brief glimpse into their past relationships. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat and I was anxiously waiting for them to cross paths in the story. I was not disappointed, their romance was sizzling, steamy and left me wanting more. A page turner with just enough suspense along with sultry scenes between two hot and sexy guys. A highly recommended read!

What the ever loving hotness did I just listen to? I just. I feel like. I loved it when.
Omg. This one had a lot of excitement and action than the others, which I enjoyed. I love how Aria can create such an intense connection from me to the characters in no time at all. By the end of a 3 hr narration, I care more about the characters than other books 3x as long.
The narrator was fantastic. He doesn't have the strongest difference in tone or voice from one character to the next, but he still does a great job.

Aria Grace has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I loved Trey when he showed up in My Name Is Luka and was so glad that we get to read his story. Aria's stories are full of adventure, love, and heat; this one certainly didn't disappoint! Cannot wait for the next one!

I'm going to be sad
When this series is over. I've really enjoyed all of the characters and watching their lives finally come together. I'm off to book 9.

Really if this book wasn't on Escape I would of rated it as a DNF but I powered through with a free subscription. I wouldn't waste my money if you're buying it on it's own.
This book has so much crazy, unrealistic and just frustratingly stupid situations.
Chuck is on the run from a psycho ex with a psycho family.
Trey is a workaholic. He hasn't been on a date in forever. His friends try to get him out there but he isn't really interested other than just sex. His friends try to set him up with a guy named Georgie who I actually loved the most. He's a feisty, flamboyant twink type. He's just a side character but what does it say that he was the best part.
With no money or car Chuck hitches a ride trading sexual favors. He was planning on California but he makes it to Portland and gets a temp job where he meets Trey.
Trey and Chuck are instantly attracted to each other but have differences in opinions on what they want so they dont do anything but still hang out as they are drawn to each other.
When Chuck realizes his ex found him he tells Trey his story. He has a solution and boom prob solved.
Then Trey and Chuck hook up for the first time to celebrate.Then we're to believe that they just put all their differences aside and boom they're a couple. With a longer story, more character development and less nonsense it could of been an ok story. This however is really bad. I prob shared too much info but hey I just saved u 3 hours wasted.

After being almost killed by his lover who needs to get rid of him before the affair can become public, Will runs from his life on the east coast and finds himself in Portland looking for work. His chance meeting with Luka and Trey at the Chinese food restaurant, not only gets him a job but also some instant attraction with Trey. But once their relationship starts to take off, the ex lover threatens the new beginning Will has made. Will Trey and the band be able to help Will get out from under the threats? Or will he take off once again and keep running? The friendship that these characters have is like no other. It is a band of unwanted misfits that find love and happiness but also know they have people in their corner ready to fight for them. Another great read in this series.

I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
This one we have Trey, who we met in Luka and Brads story, he helped them out when they needed to compromise DNA when Lukas dad was trying to get Brad in trouble... Hanging out with Luka at lunch one day he meets Will, aka. Chuck, who comes in looking for a job.
Trey is on the run from an ex, someone in politics whose trying to keep him, or the fact of him a secret, by getting him out of the picture... permanently... The only thing I didn't get about this story is how come "Chuck" didn't ever tell him his real name was Will? They didn't really seem to know much about each other and even though they were together for a month there in the epilogue, he still called him Chuck....I was confused.
I loved how it all ties with the guys again, Brad and Luka owing them a favor so when Chucks past comes back to show they know where he's at, they pull in Brad and Spencer which is awesome, because they know a little somethin about the ex and have plenty of proof to keep him away.... I kinda wish he would have gotten some karmatic justice, I mean, attempted murder and the way he treated Chuck... I would have liked to have seen him arrested or something.... sadly it didn't happen, but I'm hoping something bad happens to him eventually...
I'm glad things worked out for Chuck and Trey though, they both deserve to have their piece of happy <3
Can't wait to see whose next!

Original review on Molly Lolly
Three and a half stars!
This book had such potential and it just didn’t deliver. The plot of Will being chased by his ex just wasn’t suspenseful or that fleshed out. There was one scene towards the beginning and then one at the end with no real mention in between. And then it got resolved extremely quickly. One of the on the page, graphically told, sex scenes should have been omitted. It didn’t bring anything to the story and was actually kind of squicky. The whole story felt rushed. It didn’t live up to Ms. Grace’s normal standards of a wonderful story. I highly suggest the rest of the series. Plus I plan to read the next book in the series and hope it’s as good as I know she can write it to be.

A little suspense, and a little romance never hurt anybody! That's what you'll find in this gem of a book. I'm a little confused as to why Will is still going by Chuck at the end of the book, but whatever. Still really enjoyed this book. Now I have to wait a whole month for the next book, Looking for Home.....need an epub of that ASAP lol.
