Fake Boyfriend Book 4: Blindsided by Eden Finley

Fake Boyfriend Book 4

MILLER

When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep.

Now he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can't have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers.

That's not my biggest concern though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there's nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight.

I need to stay away from him.

TALON

Years ago, Miller and I made a pact that we'd win a Super Bowl together. When I'm offered a position on his team in Chicago, I don't hesitate. I move across the country to chase a dream that's a decade old.

Only, now that I'm here, he's avoiding me every chance he gets. If he was anyone else, I'd cut my losses.

But this is Shane Miller--the guy who makes everything better just by existing in my universe. The guy I'd do anything for. The guy who's more to me than a brother, a friend, or even a teammate.

I'm not going to let him get away.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Talon and Miller have known one another since college. They've played football side by side until Talon went to the NFL and when Miller eventually made it to the NFL he was on another team. But now, they are reunited and falling in to old habits. Like group hook ups. But Miller can't do that anymore. Because in their time apart he realized that he has feelings for Talon. And he can't just go back to the way they used to be. Not when his heart is on the line. For Talon, making the choice to play for the Warriors came up with a gut feeling and that feeling was really about Miller. He wanted him back in his life and he's not losing him. Especially when he starts to realize that he has feelings for Miller that go beyond friendship. And when an injury takes Miller out for the season, Talon gets a wake up call to losing Miller all over again. And he won't do that. The two of them will explore this new side of their relationship. One they realize early on is perfect. These two were definitely always meant to be together. But the journey to get there isn't easy. Coming out to the league isn't exactly a breeze at this point, just ask their friend Matt. But when they look at one another, they know this is it for them. And as long as they are together, then that's all that matters. Loved this story! So I have been reading these books by Eden Finley a bit out of order in the sense of the timeline. I basically read future books first, so I knew about these guys but not their story. So it's been rewinding and seeing these characters I loved and getting their origin story. This was def a favorite of the series and I only have a few left to go!
