This was fine. Friends to lovers but an unexpected path. Characters were more interesting than the others of the series. Lennox didn't fall into the "big guy/small guy" trope that feels too analogous to heterosexual couples. On a different note, I'm wishing more m/m romance authors tried not to use the "bisexual awakening" trope. Like a character is straight UNTIL JUST NOW. It's convenient but it's a bit tiring.

Overall, I liked it. Lennox is great with dialogue and silly plots so this was fun.
