The Player

When I found out from a newsletter about the ongoing (at the time) Your Book Boyfriend’s Boyfriend giveaway on Prolific works, I instantly skimmed through the list and found Lily Morton’s book. This may be a novella, but the amount of time I’ve spent reading and re-reading this was comparable to that of a full-length novel. I couldn’t help it, though, I just kept on swooning over and over.

Blurb from the book:

Frankie Bishop had only been married for a few months when he became a widower, leaving him with a mountain of debts, a business on the edge of ruin, and a parrot called Hank Marvin.

Three years later, the business is finally thriving, and Frankie finds himself ready to look for love again. It comes as a complete surprise to discover that the’s developed feelings for Con – his late husband’s best friend and now Frankie’s business partner.

Why did he overlook the gorgeous man who’s been by his side through everything? Even more importantly, how can he tell Con about his feelings when Con seems to have suddenly found love with another man?

Fake Friends

Fake Friends (Never Just Friends #2) by Saxon James

From Goodreads:


ROWAN

Five years ago, I ruined the best thing I had in my life and ran.

Now, I’m finally back to make things right.

I need Circus’s forgiveness, and then maybe I can finally move on.

I’ll leave Sunbury for good this time and never look back. Maybe then I can finally live life as an out gay man—without my family ever finding out.

But earning his forgiveness isn’t as simple as I hoped it would be.

He’s going to make me fight for it.

And I don’t blame him at all.

CIRCUS

I never wanted or expected to see Rowan Harvey again.

When he shows up in Sunbury, begging for forgiveness, I’m tempted to give it to him just so he’ll disappear.

Instead, we make a deal.

I need an extra model for a swimwear shoot, and none of my friends are available or fit the brief.

I’ll forgive him, if he helps me. Then he has to leave. For good.

Because his request for anonymity during the shoot proves he’s still living in his dark closet.

I’m not going to make the same mistakes I did when I was a teenager.

I won’t let myself fall for him again.

Because after how things ended between us, he doesn’t deserve a second chance.


What if the person who broke your heart came back, asking for your forgiveness? What if, after all these years, nothing had changed? Not their baggage and, most definitely, not your feelings?
