There were some things that were really positive about this cute friends-to-lovers story and some things that fell very flat.I thought that the author did a nice job showing the uncertainty and fear that comes with making a move on your best friend. There was a wonderful amount of tension between the Ty and Landon, before and after their first hook up. The scenes involving their families also were a highlight. I loved Landon's sisters (strong, smart women!) and I think that Ty's family felt very real, sadly. I think that this book had a lot of potential with some tweaking.What bothered me the most were the sex scenes themselves. This book is a double GFY story. Now, when I get a book where the MCs have never hooked up with another guy, I expect a certain amount of fumbling, awkwardness, and, most importantly, smoking hot passion. Here, the chemistry really fizzled. I didn't get the heat that I wanted (maybe it was all of the times the author used "penis", which makes me think of an anatomy class). I also didn't like the suave-ness of the two guys. Honestly, if these guys were only hooking up with women before, they should have some missteps with their first time with a guy. These guys were like suave gay sex masters. It felt wrong in this context.I think the story overall improved a lot as it went on but it didn't wow me. However, it had many really well done moments and I will certainly be reading more from this author in the future.**Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
