Publisher's summary

Roo:

Five years ago, I walked away from Sunbury, Oregon, and left my best friend behind. The move was supposed to get my life on track. I even had a list: Life-changing epilepsy surgery. Check. See the world. Check. Get over my straight best friend... Not exactly.

No matter where I go or who I meet, I can't let Tanner go. I'm back to tell him how I feel. To get the closure I need once and for all. Only now I'm here and falling for him all over again, it's getting harder to say the words. Because once I have my closure, I'll be gone. And this time it will be for good.

Tanner:

When my best friend, Roo, left for Australia, it was the worst day of my life. I thought we'd have each other always. But Roo needed the surgery so I let him go, thinking he'd come straight back. Five years is a long time.

Now he's here, all I want is to hold on tight. I need to show him what he means to me. The problem is, I'm not exactly sure what that is. My draw to him has always been confusing and different - everyone in town says so. But I struggle to understand it. All I know is I won't survive him leaving again. And I'll do anything to make him stay.

Contains mature themes.

Fun along with romance

Friendship combined Romance gives this book a sweet vibe. Royse & Tanner have such a great friendship going on, so it's only natural that romance binds them together. Both narrators have done an excellent job creating this audiobook. Also Saxon has written a fabulous book. I highly recommend it to others.

Sweet story

Satisfying HEA with impeccable narration. However the story unfolds at a slower pace and the and it takes time to build the character stories. If you’re looking for more action or a faster pace plot, it may require a bit of patience.

Just Friend's

I loved this Audible book . I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish and highly recommend it. I am awful even at my age I have faith that a Cinderella type situation is possible if we continue to be kind,and genuine treat others with respect and consideration that the romance God's will smile on you

Great couple and fabulous little town

Thoroughly enjoyed the setting of this book in the quirky town an hour from Portland Oregon. I'm a little surprised a couple this close to being codependent managed to survive 5 years apart, but I still had to cheer for them finding their HEA. Looking forward to the next one.

Sweet!

I love friends to lovers, but at one point I was like, just get together already! Cendece is not my favorite narrator, but Graves made up for it!

MM Best Friends to Lovers

This was just darling!! Wow, I loved it sooo much. It was low-angst, best friends to lovers, unrequited love and bi-awakening. First, Tanner was swoon-worthy with just how wonderful of a person he was. I really loved Roo as well, and thought he was mature through everything. I also loved that they didn't have the complete lack of communication that I would expect from this type of book. I loved it that they were able to talk through what they were feeling and there was not an unnecessary uncoupling. I also really, really enjoyed the side characters and cannot wait to read their stories. This narrations is one of my favorites, especially with two of my favorite narrators being Alexander Cendese & Kirt Graves!! Must read for sure.

Feel-Good Story

It’s hard to pin down why this very sweet and hot story stands out for me.

It’s got the small town vibe, a sweet MC and a cynical MC and I don’t know why they don’t make me feel like there’s an agenda being pushed, possibly because I didn’t see it as anything but normal. It didn’t occur to me that both MCs have differences which might have seemed too preachy, possibly because it wasn’t preachy. The author didn’t overstep or write heavy-handedly about illness. I wasn’t offended, it felt like representation but not the real point of the story.

Hot and wholesome, it’s a thing.

Everyone should find their Roo.
