Parker was badly neglected by his parents and sought comfort from Julian and his family. They would do anything for each other, anything to save the other from pain. They’ve been BFFs since they were six, and two decades later, he loves him more than ever. If there was a record for how long you could carry a torch for the wrong person, I thought for sure I’d be appearing in the Guinness Book any day now. He’s welcoming, kind, loyal, and goes out of his way to help others and make them happy. I love when a man discovers the joy of gay sex for the first time.Įveryone loves Parker. How about head over heels in love with this scrumptious, magnificent romance? Gah, it’s everything and contains my two favorite tropes – childhood best friends-to-lovers and a demisexual awakening. Who would ever believe I’d be satisfied with a book that has no epilogue? Satisfied, you ask? Hardly. I only wonder if Julian is ready to trust I really mean it. The kind of secrets that lead to hot experimental kisses in front of a blazing fire, tenative physical exploration in a way I’d never imagined before, and the kind of intimate, true confessions I’d never even dreamed of between me and the one person who’s always been my true home.īut after twenty-plus years of thinking of Jules as my friend without benefits, is it truly possible to change who we are to each other? There’s no easy button this time, but I’m willing to do the work. Not only that, but when my best friend whisks me away to drown my sorrows in a snowy cabin in Aster Valley, I accidentally discover Julian’s been keeping secrets. It’s my wedding weekend and I’ve just been left at the altar. Or when Erin had showed back up in my life six months ago and told it was time to marry and start a family…īut for the first time in my life I’m facing something that’s not at all easy. Or when I’d used the one thing that came easy to me, skiing, to get my college tuition paid for. Or when I’d needed a date to homecoming in tenth grade and Erin told me she was it. Like when Julian Thick had offered me half his sandwich back in grade school after noticing I didn’t have any food. I know he’ll be happy with Erin, just not… just not as happy as he could be with me. He’s gone and gotten engaged to his high-school sweetheart which means I have to grin and bear it while pretending to be the happy, supportive best man while he prepares to commit his life to a woman I can’t even fault. And that makes it difficult to convince him the two of us are meant to be together.Īnd now there’s no point. The problem is that Parker Ellis has been straight since forever. It started out platonic, obviously, but then became… nope. I’ve been in love with my best friend since forever.
