Divorced Men’s Club Book 5: System Overload by Saxon James

 

Divorced Men’s Club Book 5

Keller

Banging my son’s bestie was a total accident that will never, ever happen again. I’m sure of it.

While he might be gorgeous and caught me in a weak moment, when it comes right down to it, my son has been my entire life for the last twenty-six years. I don’t know how to be anything other than his dad.

But with Molly heading off to Seattle, he leaves me with a parting gift: Will.

His best friend.

And my new roommate.

Still, I’m determined to focus on my plan of finding someone to settle down with and to start living for me.

Then Molly hits me with another gift: he’s asked Will to help find me the perfect partner.



Will

Molly running away across the country and leaving me made one thing very obvious. I crave stability. I crave a life where I get to control what happens to me, without the constant threat of having to move home to my homophobic family.

All I need to focus on is work and making enough money for the downpayment on my own place.

Except now I’m living in the spare bedroom of the man I’ve been in love with for years.

The same bedroom where we had one very messy, very quick accidental frot sesh.

Now I’m cooking for him every night, and we’re working out together every morning. It’s all feeling very domestic and my heart can’t separate reality from the fantasies in my head.

I know I’m going to get hurt.

It’s only a matter of time.

But when it comes to Keller, it’s impossible for me to walk away.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Will has been secretly in love with Keller for a very long time. The problem? Keller is his best friend’s dad. Talk about complicated. And when Molly leaves for Seattle and insists that Will moves in with Keller, he has no choice but to say yes and deal with the torture. Sure, there are some perks of living with Keller. Seeing him every day and talking to him. But crossing the line to be something more? That could be tricky. Or could it? Especially after the night they sorta hooked up but promised it wouldn’t happen again. Could Keller have feelings for Will too? Could Will make Keller see him more than just his son’s best friend? Could they be more? Keller isn’t blind. He knows his son’s best friend is good looking. But he won’t do anything about it. Not when it could result in his son hating him. But the more they spend time with one another and the more he starts to really let himself see Will beyond Molly’s friend? Well, he’s in trouble. But it may take a bit more from the two of them to truly let themselves have what they truly want. You gotta love Will and Keller. There are obvious feelings between them. We’ve always known how Will has felt and poor guy had to deal with not knowing if his feelings would ever be returned. A slowburn that is so worth it in the end for these two. Because turns out, they are pretty perfect for one another. Especially when they let themselves just be happy for once and put themselves first for the first time. Really loved their story! Always so fun divining back into this world and the DMC group chat that will forever keep you on your toes. Definitely looking forward to the next book!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
