My Best Friend’s Secret

Men of Fairlake

De: Romeo Alexander

Narrado por: Michael Dean

I thought falling in love with my best friend would be the biggest shock of my life. I couldn’t have been more wrong….

Coming back home with my tail between my legs after a bitter divorce and a failed business venture isn’t exactly the life I’d envisioned for myself.

At least there’s Bennett. Strong and steady as always, even if there is a simmering anger in him that wasn’t there when we were boys.

When that anger finally boils over, I’m braced for a fight, but what I get instead…is a kiss.

A kiss that changes everything.

But a surprise visit threatens the new life Bennett and I are beginning to build together. Now I’m faced with an impossible choice: Return to the safe, predictable life I’d always planned on with my ex-wife….

Or take a chance on the unexpected love of a lifetime.

My Best Friend’s Secret is a friends-to-lovers, bi-awakening romance set in the cozy little town of Fairlake. And while Adam and Bennett will have cameos in future stories, each book in this series can be listened to as a standalone.

From Friends to Lovers

I always enjoy stories from Romeo Alexander and this is another good one. This friends to lovers story really kept me interested from start to finish. I appreciated the progression of Adam and Bennett's relationship to their HEA. I really enjoyed the narration by Michael Dean.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

Great start to this series

Love the best friend to lovers trope! Romeo Alexander never disappoints ! Bennett and Adam stole my heart .

Adam and Bennett

Childhood best friends find new levels to their relationship. While Adam is typical dense man. But so sweet once he clues in. I adored reading the progression of their love story.

Sweet and easy

I got a free promo code for the audio version.
Such a sweet story on a bi-awakening and friends-to-lovers. It's low angst, no triggers, and very well written. I would have loved more backstory on their relationship but mostly on Bennett. The narration was on point and it really worked.
I look forward to reading the next in the series.
Worth a read!

Great narration, but the story stalled

It is a solid book with great narration. It’s not a bad story line and the characters are developed, but for me the story just kind of lulled. There was really only two points of the story where Adam and Bennett moved the plot along and those moments were rushed. On the same hand, other parts seemed to drag. For example, after the first progression of the plot point, there was this whole scene with two other characters stories that felt weird and out of place and went on for so long.

All in all if you’re looking for something to pass time it’s a solid choice.

Childhood Friends to Lovers

I enjoyed listening to this new-to-me series starter. I picked up the audio when I saw it's by one of my favorite narrator, Michael Dean.

The town of Fairlake, with all its small-town glory, the good, the bad and the ugly, is charming. I love meeting the characters and adore Bennett! His antics and his general disposition makes you wanna be friends with him. While I can't stand miscommunication or no-communication trope, I was able to get past this one because of how Bennett handled it.

The ending felt a bit rushed, but the epilogue was a good way to show how Bennett and Adam carried on years down the line.

Loved this story

A new author for me. I was very happy to read this one and then thrilled that it was already on audio. Loved Bennett and Adam. 2nd chance best friends bi-romance. Great story and amazing secondary characters that we already get to know in this book. Happy to have given this one a chance.

Story line

Family interaction. Parents and children. Doesn’t always need sexual details to add positive meaning to the story. Thank you very much.

I loved it!

I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this or not. I mean the trope is typical but since this was one of the author I really enjoy reading and a start to a new series I just had to give it a try. I'm glad I did...from start til the end I was hooked. Bennett and Adam relationship was always solid but when something like romantic emotions come to play it just made their bond stronger. All I know is when that major catastrophe came into play towards the end I really...really...really wanted to contact Romeo and asked what in the world was they thinking???!!! HONEYMOON time was officially over...but then I realized that's life...everything is not always cookies and cream...and WOW, everything was awkward but things worked out and I was EXTREMELY satisfied at the end. The narrator did a wonderful job...he made this a great listen and I highly recommend this to anyone who loves the best friend to lover trope.

What a wonderful story

I love Michael Dean's narration of this story. He brings 5 stars to the books he narrates and this one is no different.

After a divorce battle between lawyers and his wife, Adam moves back to his childhood home. Bennett, his long time childhood friend, has been hiding his attraction/love for Adam since he was fifteen. Over the last few years Adam slowly loses contact with Bennett, and has to come to terms with the hurt that's caused.

This story brings all the feels.

1st person dual POV, childhood friends one gay and one straight (or maybe not so straight), bi-awakening, friends to lovers, brings the heat.
