I enjoyed this book. It was fun watching Owen and Jeremy together after years of them lusting for one another. This was a 3.5 rating for me but upgraded to 4 because of the hot sex scenes. I'll definitely read the next book as I loved Natasha in this one.

- Main Couple: Jeremy/Owen
- POVs Included: Single POV (Jeremy)
This one was okay. Not bad. The sexy times were good but felt repetitive after a little while to me. The first 65 pages were the best part of the whole book.
I’m not a big reader of m/m romances although I do seek them out from time to time. I do enjoy mmf a lot though, but usually straight up m/m isn’t my favorite since I’m a chick and can’t really put myself into the story (ya know?). I do like them sometimes though. By far though, if I were to choose a m/m trope I liked most it would a first time gay/bi and/or best friends to lovers romance.
And this was both of those! So what’s not to love?
Well, I did like it alright. I liked Jeremy. He’s just a really cool and chill guy. He’s comfortable with his bisexuality and I loved his personality.
His best friend Owen has always considered himself straight, although Jeremy has had feelings for him for awhile. But in this one Owen comes on to Jeremy on his birthday and the sexcapades ensue.
I personally found Owen’s personality to be a little too strong. These are new experiences for him and yet he acts like he’s the experienced one, taking charge. I didn’t love this and would’ve thought he’d be a little more hesitant. But he comes on VERY strong in my opinion and it was just a little too much.
Still, I liked Jeremy and I enjoyed their sexy times. There wasn’t much of a story other than the “romance” (or rather, just sex).
Overall it was okay. I don’t think I’ll read the others in the series at this point about the other Finns. Maybe later…maybe not.

Malgré un pitch alléchant avec cette promesse de GFY (mon Graal en matière de M/M), je ressors plutôt déçue de cette lecture.
Owen et Jeremy sautent le pas beaucoup trop vite à mon goût et l'absence de tension (pas forcément que sexuelle), de température qui monte, de trouble ... m'a manqué. J'aime quand les personnages doutent, se rapprochent, reculent ... Mais là tout est beaucoup trop rapide. La curiosité sexuelle d'Owen ne donne pas lieu à un questionnement, et là encore c'est quelque chose qui m'a manqué.
Les scènes de sexe sont nombreuses et explicites, et on peut dire que les deux amis/amants n'ont pas froid aux yeux et tentent de multiples activités. ^_^

The kinda-sorta BDSM but not really bothered me a bit, but the dirty talk more than made up for it.

Lots of sex but it never got stale. Great friends to lovers story. I could feel Jeremy's turmoil as he tried to figure out if Owen was for real or not.
