When I grabbed Bed Warmer, I hadn't realized that months ago, I'd read
the first of this series, Fifteen Minutes of Fame. Not until I saw the names of the couple in the
first book and remembered just how much I had loved it! I was suddenly filled with an incredibly
high set of expectations.
From the Blurb
Kade
My luck
with finding a steady, committed relationship is so bad it should be in a
record book. Not only did my last serious boyfriend use me to cheat on
his girlfriend, but this other guy I’m in love with that I’ve known
practically my whole life can’t see me as anything more than a fuck
buddy. Well, I’m done with trying to find a guy to be with long-term.
Screw commitment, it only causes heartbreak.
Damon Vance is
exactly what I need. Initially, we’re both looking for a one-night
stand, but the scorching heat and chemistry between us are hard to
forget. He needs someone who can keep a secret, namely the one about his
marriage being a sham, and I need someone who can’t give me anything
more than sex. Problem is, my heart is getting more and more invested
the longer we spend together. On top of that, there’s a surprisingly
sweet side to Damon that’s tearing up my resolve and making it hard to
remember that I’m just his bed warmer.
Damon
When I met
Kayden Lee for the first time in a club, all I saw was a gorgeous man
with long hair, tattoos, and a sunshine smile. From that first glance, I
knew I had to spend the night with him. Sparks fly between us and the
chemistry is off the charts, but there’s a problem: my wedding’s the
next day, and Kade is a guest. He’s also the younger brother of one of
my employees, an important fact I didn’t know when I picked him up at
the club.
Despite the complications, our one-night stand turns
into a mutually beneficial arrangement that has me wanting as much of
Kade as I can get. I never thought I’d actually want to be committed to
someone, but Kade is changing my mind faster than I thought possible.
Suddenly, this marriage of convenience isn’t so convenient, and the
person I really want seems determined to keep me from loving him like he
deserves.
**Bed Warmer is a full-length M/M romance novel
featuring a found family that keeps growing, even more tattooed hotties,
and a hookup that leads to a HEA. This is the second book in the
Friends of Friends series and can be read as a standalone.
Sarah C's Review:
I am pleased to announce that this book not only met but exceeded said expectations.
Bed Warmer is the story of Kade and Damon. Kade is the brother of Michael
from book one and a man who has had very bad luck in the dating game.
His ex-boyfriend of over a year cheated on him - or more accurately
cheated on his even longer term girlfriend with him and now won't leave
him alone - months later. Damon is about to enter a marriage of
convenience with his lesbian best friend so she can take over her
father's fashion design company - eventually. Neither of them are
looking for more than one night, but the intense chemistry between them
and the mind blowing night they share together - incidentally the night
before Damon's wedding at which Kade is (unknowingly) a guest - makes it
very hard for it to be just one night.
The characters in this
book were amazing. The relationship between them was hot and the
chemistry was palpable, coming off of the pages in waves. They were one
of those undeniable couples that as you read more into them, you can
imagine entire futures for them both as a couple and as individuals. And
the side characters in this book? Absolutely chef's kiss. I loved Hamza
and Zinna and how they related to Kade. I loved Michael and Evan and
how they were very involved in both Kade and Damon's life.
And
Victoria, Damon's wife? I want to applaud the author for not making her
into some kind of villain. She was, instead, their biggest cheerleader.
The friendship between Damon and Victoria felt so incredibly real and
true and I found myself rooting for Victoria and her happiness as well.
Seriously, if this author ever decided to switch it up and write an FF
romance just for Victoria, I would be there in a heartbeat.
Bed Warmer is a dual POV, low angst romantic romp of two men who aren't
looking for anything more than a night but find so much more than that. I
highly recommend everyone pick it up and take the fun escape it
provides.
Content Warning: One of the side characters does have a drinking problem and his alcoholism is discussed in the book.
