Mini Audiobook Review: Thank you so much to @HarlequinPublicityTeam & @HarlequinBooks for having me on this tour & the gifted book!

"We're just different. At different places in our lives. Like that old saying: some friends stay with you for a season, some for a lifetime."

This was such a unique concept of a romance! You not only have the budding romance between our two main characters Jesse & Lulu but there is also the theme of finding friendship as adults. I love how they were set up on a blind date and then found their way back to one another through the friendship study.

This is my second book by Ruby and just like with the first book, she brought the SPICE!!! Also in my memory I don't ever remember a romance that had mutual masturbation?! Jesse and Lulu's chemistry was so hot and they just felt so comfortable enough to have that level of intimacy. And I love the fake that they were both bisexual and could relate to each other. Their romance felt so natural and their sexual connection was so strong right from the start. And I love how their friendship grew from that sexual chemistry (

also can't believe we got a road head scene!

).

We did get to see their growth throughout the book separately. My heart did break for Jesse and his relationship with his grandfather. He wanted so badly to be able to be honest with him but just never got the opportunity before his Alzheimer got bad. I felt bad for Lulu because she wanted to break away from her dad's shadow and figure out her own thing.

I read this via audio with having the book by my side. I thought both narrators were great! I am glad we had two separate narrators for the dual POV.

If you are looking for a spicy romance with queer FMC & MMC then check this out!
