For John’s part, his life has always had a specific path and expectations, which his newfound friendship with Matt disrupts thoroughly. Then, the heat quotient is definitely there, but Matt has been burned in the past, and he genuinely enjoys the burgeoning friendship between him and John and doesn’t want to ruin it for a short-lived fling. Morton immediately bucks the enemies-to-lovers arc by having the men reconcile enough to begin a tentative friendship pretty early in the novel. I adored how the friendship between them grew before it included a sexual component, and overall, it is a satisfying stand-alone romance novel. Morton brings John and Matt to life on the page, and each man is three-dimensional and unique. Once I got over the hurdle of acknowledging that I was missing backstory with these two characters (since this book is a spin-off from a previous series), it absorbed me completely. I keep doing this weird thing where I put off reading books by this author and then can’t figure out why because her writing is pretty freaking amazing.
