Front Range University Book 2: Beautifully Devoted by Michele Lenard

Front Range University Book 2

Forgetting to knock changed everything.

Cam
When I was ten, I made a promise. One that I’m still honoring a decade later, even though it means hiding a part of myself from the most important person in my life.

My best friend, Jagger. 

And truthfully, burying that part of me is a small price to pay if it means nothing comes between us. I’m Jagger’s rock, the one stable thing in his life, and I’ve held that role for so long it’s now central to who I am. Which is why, after he sees something he shouldn’t and gets an idea that he wants my help with, I’m faced with the biggest decision of my life.

Saying yes could break me, but saying no could break us. I guess there isn’t really a choice, is there? 

Jagger
There I was, innocently letting myself into my teammate’s room to search for some protein powder, when I came across a different type of protein altogether.

I learned two things that day. Knock first, and straight guys might be missing out.

As usual when I have an epiphany, I turn to my best friend Cam for help, and learn another two things. Neither of us is as straight as I thought, and I’m not the only one who needs protecting. 

Hopefully I can be as strong for him as he’s been for me.

**Beautifully Devoted is a high-heat MM romance between two co-dependent best friends. It’s a medium angst story that includes hurt/comfort situations and a bi-awakening with lots of humor and spice. This is book two in a series of interconnected standalones.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Accidentally walking in on his roommates apparently was the wake up called Jagger needed to realize that he may be into guys. But then learning that his best friend since he was a kid has known he was bi for years and never said anything? Well, that’s another push that Jagger needed to realize that he may have feelings for his best friend, Cam. Cam and Jagger are inseparable. You will always find one with the other. Honestly, the way they are it is more of a surprise that they aren’t together. The moment Cam realized he was bi was the moment he knew that he had to be careful around Jagger because he knew that he had the potential to fall in love with his best friend. And what if that ruined everything? No. It was not something he wanted to risk. But Jagger admitting that he has been wondering lately what it is like to be with a guy? Cam can’t help the walls inside him slowly breaking, especially when Jagger looks to him. It’s inevitable that these two will reach for one another. But how long will it take for them to admit that the feelings they have go beyond best friends? To take a leap of faith and bring their friendship to the next level? I adored these two. So sweet and just clearly devoted to one another. They were always meant to be. It was just a matter of time and when they were ready to see exactly who they are to one another. I’m really loving this series and the all the characters! I am especially excited for the next book after that end of the book hint. I have a feeling we are going to get a great story there. Can’t wait for more!
