Accidental Love Book 4: Just Bromantically Invested by Saxon James

 

Accidental Love Book 4

Madden

My best friend is uptight, gorgeous, the greatest person I know … and I might be a smidge in love with him. Just a small amount. Barely worth the mention.

Which is a stupid choice on my part when the guy is straight.

Starting a landscaping company with him was the perfect mix of doing what I love and an excuse to spend time with him, only it hasn’t completely taken off yet and now he’s telling me he’s lonely.

Lonely.

Apparently having one friend in your life isn’t enough.

So I’m determined to help him find love. With someone other than me. Maybe if I can pull that off, it’ll mean my heart will finally get the message and move on.

Or finish breaking into a hundred pieces.

Same thing, right?

Penn

Being besties with an overenthusiastic, gold-hearted, nudist of a man is a challenge sometimes. Madden makes everything sunshine when he’s around.

The problem is that he hasn’t been around as much lately. We work together, sure, but he’s got his roommates and I have … no one. Just him. So I feel the distance acutely.

My one reassurance is that we have work tying us together, but when an old client calls with a proposition for us, it feels like our once solid friendship is unraveling fast.

He wants Madden to help him open a nudist resort, and if Madden’s doing that, he won’t be working with me.

I’m trying not to panic over the thought of losing him, which is a typical, common best friend reaction. Nothing out of the ordinary.

And neither is the way my body has been reacting to him lately.

Everything is totally, completely normal between us.

While there’s still an us at all.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

It’s finally Madden and Penn’s story! Been excited for these two best friends to finally get together. We’ve always known that Madden has been crazy in love with his best friend for years, but has always believed that Penn was straight and would never look at him that way. So Madden has finally decided that he really needs to move on and maybe he can find Penn a girlfriend so it forces Madden to do just that. Especially when Penn reveals that he is lonely. But when Penn makes a friend (who is actually a friend but Madden can’t see that), he jumps in to help but quickly realizes how painful it is. Penn isn’t getting why Madden is so pushy on this subject lately of him finding someone. Truthfully, he just wants Madden. He wants more time with him and gets jealous when he is called to Bertha House more often than not. But then Penn’s eyes are opened. And maybe the feelings he have for Madden are so much more than what he took them for. And though it takes him some time to sort it and do something, he knows that all he wants is Madden. These two were a mess LOL. Poor guys just needed to talk and lay out all their feelings and insecurities. What I actually really loved about them is that even when they do, it isn’t so simple and perfect. They still have lots of work to do when it comes to themselves and what they want outside of one another. But I loved seeing them grow more and find who they are supposed to be all while realizing that they were always meant to be. Another great story in this series! Next is finally Xander’s story and I can just imagine how crazy that one will be!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
