The Book Boyfriend Addict

We’ve reached the line. The very faint fucking line between a decades-long friendship and a move that could ruin us.

Now that Griffin’s son is away at college and his marriage has ended, he’s looking forward to being single for the first time in his adult life. He has big plans to get back out there and live it up as a bachelor. But when faced with the reality of putting himself out there, he thinks he might be in over his head. Thankfully, he’s got the best wingman. His best friend, Heath, has always been there for him and he’s there now to help Griff navigate the dating landscape. It was never in their plans to wind up in bed together, but after it happens Griff’s big plans to be single suddenly don’t seem that appealing anymore.

“You promised I’d get off with someone tonight,” he rasps.

“I did.”

“What if I only want to get off with you?”

I loved everything about this book. Heath and Griff were best friends and extremely important to one another but they never felt anything more than friendship. Perhaps it was because Griff had been married for the bulk of their friendship and Heath would have never done anything to interfere with that. But now that Griff is single and Heath is helping him find a hookup, the flirty banter soon starts and their chemistry absolutely ignites.

Their flirting, teasing, and their raw honesty ramped up the sexual tension. The pining and all that tension killed me in the best way. These two wanted to be together so badly but some complications made it risky to pursue anything so they tried to refrain. The fact that they were always so open and honest about how they felt and what they wanted, even when they were trying to keep things platonic, tugged at all my heartstrings. This was some of the best sexual tension I’ve ever read.

I also thought Griff’s insecurities about getting back out there in his 40s were so well written. My heart went out to him, he was so lost and vulnerable. It was sweet seeing Heath help him through that as well.

I don’t want to walk away from this.

I know all the reasons why we shouldn’t, but would it be the worst thing in the world to be selfish for once?

One of the things I loved about the first book was the communication between the characters and that was true for this one too. There was some angst but it was never due to miscommunication, things were always solid between Griff and Heath. I just love it when the characters have a true partnership and face their challenges together. It seems to be a theme in this series, I hope it continues!

Griff lets out a breathy laugh. Yeah, his eyes say. That was really something.

It was, I agree. And I’m going to protect that something with my life.
