My Review: 5/5 Stars

Lee is beyond excited to be playing for the Austin Troopers…despite the fact that Texas is way too hot. Being the rookie is never easy, add in being in a new place on his own. But lucky for him that changes pretty quick when he. Meets Mac and Drew at a diner. Mac’s family owns the diner and him and Drew have been best friends their entire lives. When Lee meets them he can’t help but wonder why they aren’t a couple. Turns out there was a time when they were teenagers where they tried and it seemed like a disaster in the making. To save their friendship, they called it quits. But truthfully, neither stopped loving the other. And they were just too afraid to try again. But meeting Lee? They realize that maybe they were waiting for the right person to come along to bring them together. Because Lee is the missing piece to their relationship. They all need one another if anything is going to happen. And Lee needs them too. I adored these guys! We have such a fun friendship in the beginning as they guys get to know one another and take off the pressure of jumping into anything more. But it becomes clear the more they spend time together, the more they should be something more. Lee may be wary at first that he is in the way, but Mac and Drew are quick and steady to remind him that they want and need him too. Another great book in this series! This one is definitely a favorite so far!
