From USA Today bestselling author Marley Valentine comes an all new emotional, friends-to lovers gay romance standalone.
I couldn't tell you when I fell in love with Gael Herrera,
but I wish I knew how to make it stop.
Falling in love with a straight man is a rookie mistake. But falling in love with my soon-to-be-married-to-a-woman best friend is nothing but heartache.
Through all the years, and all the men I've fooled around with, he's always been at the back of my mind. An unrequited crush I wish I could shake. A dream that was never going to come true.
When I whisk him off to a surprise bachelor party weekend in Vegas, I surrender to the idea that this is an opportunity for me to finally let go of my feelings for him and say goodbye.
But after a heated exchange and an even hotter kiss, everything I thought I knew about our friendship changed.
Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe, after all this time, we were more than best friends. Maybe, just maybe, he felt it too.

MY REVIEW
Jordan's best friend, Gael, is getting married, so Jordan's heading home to help him celebrate with a bachelor party in Vegas. Sounds good, right? Well, it would be, if Jordan weren't in love with Gael, who's straight and marrying his very non-male fianceé. Yep. But Jordan can do this, just shove his feelings for Gael down deep where he's always kept them, party, then say goodbye to the tiny, little sliver of hope he may have had when Gael remained single, not married to a woman, to someone other than himself. Yeah...
Things get, uh...complicated, though, and that thing that was going to be Jordan's way of closing off this part of his life, doesn't happen. Long held feelings are revealed, and things happen. Complicated, human things, but in the end will Gael and Jordan be able to maintain their strong friendship, at the very least?
Friends to lovers can be hard to write well. It can be especially tricky if one of them is dealing with identity issues, and that's what happened here. Gael was dealing with his identity, Jordan was dealing with unreciprocated (or so he thought) feelings, and what was really going on was very apparent to everyone but themselves. Poor guys...luckily they have a very loving support system in Gael's awesome family, who had taken Jordan in when he was disowned by his own family, and made a part of theirs. I really liked this friends to lovers story. Jordan and Gael belonged together and I was so glad they finally got to love each other out in the open.
