The Bro Pact (Best Bros Forever Book 1) by Charli Meadows

The Bro Pact is a new-adult best friends to lover romance with a mix of spicy and sweet moments that will warm your heart.


From the blurb:

Kyle

I had my entire future mapped out, which is exactly how I prefer things—organized and predictable. Law school, marriage, two-point-five kids, and a white picket fence. Nothing extravagant, just a little family of my own, and a place to call home.

But life has other plans when my long-term girlfriend dumps me at the end of freshman year, and I’m left feeling empty and rejected.

Luckily, my best friend, Warren, is there—like he always is—to make me smile and laugh, distracting me with his latest wild idea. And this one might just take the cake.

He proposes a pact—no girls this summer. Just bros for three whole months.

And I accept.

Warren

When my best friend and I find ourselves burned by the opposite sex and moping around a bonfire in his parents’ backyard, I take it upon myself to better our situation.

I fix up an old RV, and we start the summer with an epic road trip to the Pacific that I’m hoping will repair his broken heart. But Kyle keeps creeping on me, stealing shy glances that roam my body and make me feel things I shouldn’t.

It turns out this bro pact is a lot harder than either of us anticipated, and it’s pushing us together in ways we never imagined. Ways that have us questioning just how deep our bromance truly goes.

The Bro Pact is book one in the Best Bros Forever Series, a collection of standalone contemporary gay romances. You can expect best-friends-to-lovers, bi-awakening, gay for you, and forced proximity. This novel is intended for 18+ readers and touches on some sensitive subjects.

What an absolutely lovely best friends to lovers romance by Charli Meadows. Ren and Kyle were just the sweetest freaking thing. They've been best friends since childhood. Are as close as two people can be. There has never been a time when the other needed them and they weren't there. It truly was such a beautiful friendship, and I was not surprised that it turned into a beautiful love story as well.

"𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘮𝘦."

In addition to being a sweet story this book was also steamy AF! I mean, these are teenage boys, so it wasn't a shock that they were always down for a roll in the hay. But interspersed with the delicious dirty talk was a layer of intimacy that neither of them had ever felt with another person. Having such a solid foundation made for a great backbone to the beginning of their relationship. Yes, they did hit a few bumps in their road, but I never once doubted these two were it for each other. There just wasn't any other possible outcome.

I loved the dedication of the book. As a humble bookstagrammer myself, I can only imagine what a major accomplishment it is to make the change to being a published author. Honestly, the reason I picked up my first book by this author was due to the same thing. It brings me joy to me to be able to support my fellow MM book lovers and I am eager to see what comes from this author next. Though I won't lie, after reading Oleander, I am excited to get Flame the most!
