This is a long time coming friends to lovers story. Phillip is dealing with the loss of his aunt, the woman how raised him, but also the woman who tried to make him believe that the idea of being gay was wrong. Yet, all he can think about is Ryan, his long time best friend, the one man he's always wanted but denied himself.

These two were so sweet. There were nerves but both men really wanted to be together. They finally admitted how they felt and gave the relationship a chance. So adorable. Jus

Lots of emotion and very hot = very good intimacy. The POV changes worked, giving insight into closed off Philip, and fit the syrup sweet picture too (loved!). I was able to connect and feel with the characters right away. Thank you!

This is a story with a darker edge to it, but so worth reading. Phillip has carried around the conflict of loving Ryan and the fear of giving in to it. His trauma as a small boy has left him emotionally shut down. I liked Ryan's determination to face Phillip with the truth of his love. Phillip impressed me because even with all his anxiety, he took a leap of faith and reached out to Ryan. The ending is very nicely done.
