Great story, amazing written talent, interesting all through, page turner!

Contains: crushing on his straight friend, best friend to lovers, bi-awakening, demisexual, newly farmers, 40 yr old, vers, hea.

This series is just too great. It starts off slowly with the return of the best friend. He got his uncle's farm in heritage. His friend, Red, is automatically added to the plan. He sells his house and moves in with him. Drastic YES, who move without even have to ask!!! Without giving it all away, Journey will have several torments of emotions, questioning, sexual awakening, etc, etc. Add the fact that he was a travel blogger, and now he has to take care of animals. Lol.

The story is amazing. You get into it immediately, and you don't want to finish it. The author keeps us interested throughout. The pages turn almost themselves. I was not ready to say bye and now I need the next one of the series to hurry.

The only real HIC I had was when they finally decide to pass to the act, you know... in the bed act. The character is OK ouch for a finger when he is topping, and five minutes later, he decides he is a pro and goes from top to bottom in less than 2 minutes for more. I'm not an expert on gay sex, but I thought it was over the top. Take the time to process what you just experienced and then try for more.

But overall, this story is fantastic, I love it. There's a lot of trope that I love in it, and it is always so beautifully written by this amazing author. It's interesting. The characters did panic once or twice but not in a childish way, and they do communicate between themselves like adults. (They act their age, shocking, I know).

SO verdict: 100% recommended. If you are hesitating and you love this kind of tropes, give it a shot, and you will not be deceived.
