review 1: Super cute little short! Friends to lovers is always a fun little trope and this was no different. Rory Ballard and Owen Harris have been best friends their entire lives, but Rory could never tell Owen how he really felt. The older they got the more he realized his feelings for his friends weren't exactly what other guys felt for their best buds. Now they're in college together and still the dynamic duo on the football field, but off Rory just can't take it anymore and has moved out into his own apartment. The last thing he ever thought he'd here is his straight best friend telling him he love him before running off.I liked the fact that both guys had feelings for the other and were suppressing it. Each thought the other was straight until it just became too much. T... morehere was a surprising amount of emotion packed into these few short pages. I really enjoyed the read and Rory and Owen together. I liked that it was their football ritual that brought them back together to talk. Enjoyable read that has me interested to see more by the author!
review 2: This started off slow, with Rory engaging in a bit of prolonged introspecion. But, when Rory decides to relieve some physical stress and take a 5 mile run, he runs into Owen and the story picks up quite nicely. This story was unique in that it featured 2 men struggling with the heartache of nrequited love...what's interesting, is that this love was, in fact, for one another. Best friends for almost their whole lives, their relationship was treasured beyond all others. When the feelings turned romantic, neither guy had it in them to put their relationship at risk by telling the other how they felt. When they finally realized that they've been in love with each other for quite some time, they chastise themselves for wasting so much time. I think it's sweet. They were both virgins, never even considering seeking gratification outside their relationship because they knew that they would only be happy with their beloved. And just think of all the amazing sexual experiences they'll share for the first time together! That level of unconditional devotion is rare and beautiful.. less
