I enjoyed this slow-burn romance with humour, banter, friends to lovers and found family. Frankie’s a widower whose husband was his business partner Con’s best friend. So it’s understandable that when he finally realizes (3 years after his husband’s death) he has feelings for Con, he’s reluctant to act on them, especially since Con now seems to have a boyfriend staying with him. I really liked the characters, the secondary characters and the plot. It was noble of Frankie to forgive his husband for putting the business in debt and for cheating on him. Con suffered for a long time with unrequited love, and I felt the two characters really deserved to be happy. The only reason this was not a five-star read for me is that there were a couple of times – towards the end of the book – that I got irritated with the two men’s inability to share their feelings, particularly with the number of times their conversation was interrupted. However, I recommend the story, as it was sweet, entertaining and well written.

I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Joel Leslie. He did a fabulous job as always, with good pacing, expression and distinguishing characters by their voices and accents. I think the narration really made the book for me.

I received an audiobook copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
