Loving You, Words We Never Said book 4, by EM Lindsey is an emotional journey not just between two men, but that of father and son, too. Single dad hurt/comfort at it's finest, you will never want to let these three go.
From the blurb:
“How petty would I be if I brought a boyfriend home to meet my dad who was almost the same age as him?”
Bronx doesn’t mind being used as a pawn in the hot lawyer’s plan to piss off his father. After all, he probably would have done the same thing if his dad introduced him to a new step-mom who was barely six months older than him.
And it helps that Monty is not only ridiculously good looking, but he’s smart, kind, and has an accent that makes Bronx weak in the knees. He’s also an amazing distraction from the fact that Bronx’s husband up and left him and his son without warning, turning their lives upside down.
But what starts as game quickly becomes something else, because as much as Bronx was sure he had no more heart to give, Monty turns out to be everything he had once looked for in a partner.
It’s too bad Monty isn’t interested...
Right?
Yeah.
He’s definitely not interested.
Loving You is the fourth book in the single dad’s series, Words We Never Said. It features a fake relationship to reach epic levels of petty, a young lawyer, an older, tired veterinarian who thinks animals are almost always better than people, a meddling teenager trying to play matchmaker, and two men who can’t see what the universe is offering them on a silver platter. It’s a high heat, high swoon, age-gap romance to make your heart flutter and toes curl.
Molly Otto's review:
The fourth book in this series is just as perfect and well-written as the others. Monty and Bronx just click. Both broken and hurting, neither wants a relationship but when they find each other needing one another, everything seems to come together perfectly. Broken families and harsh home lives have made them understandably skittish and you can't blame them at all for trying to fight the inevitable feelings they have. With a surly and quick witted teen at their side, these two men find everything they never knew they needed with one another, proving the author knows how to write hurt/comfort in the best of ways. Somehow, these books keep getting better and better and out doing each other.
Angel's review:
I think I say this whenever I write a review for this author's books, but I absolutely LOVE E.M. Lindsey's writing. I just love the way the words flow on page, how the characters are so realistic and raw. How it isn't always happily ever after right away, I like that the characters can develop separately while also having their romantic relationship progress as well. I adore slow-burners that are done well, and EM is one of the best at (in my opinion) writing not just good slow-burn stories, but phenomenal stories in general.
I never could have predicted that the man Bronx ended up with was going to be Monty, that was a complete surprise but a very pleasant one. These two men are so easy to fall for and to cheer on. Both of these men have been hurt in their past, and continue to be hurt by others in their present. Little by little though, with the help from each other and their found family they realize they don't need those hurtful people in their lives any longer.
I was upset for Bronx when his ex left him and Lucas the way he did, but I was more heartbroken for Lucas. I do like how Lucas kept insisting how that despicable man was never his father and never will be. They may share DNA but that alone doesn't make someone family. Monty's dad made me unbelievably frustrated, I despise him so much. In my opinion there are multiple villains in this story, and those are Monty's dad, (and his siblings,) along with Bronx's ex. As much as I disliked those characters, I know that these two might not have ever met if it wasn't because of those who hurt them.
This story was absolutely beautiful and I loved every minute of it. Bronx and Monty have both been through so much pain in their life due to others, and I'm so happy they got their hard won happily ever after. Another thing I love about this author's writing is how much attention to detail they put into writing about different disabilities/medical conditions. They make sure it's as accurate was possible which makes it more believable and even more realistic.
One of my favorite tropes to read about is Found Family, and this series in particular really showcases that beautifully. All of the single dad's really rally around one another and support each other any way they can. I adore how all of those men accepted Lucas and Bronx and pulled them right into the family they created.
My favorite part of this story was how prominent Lucas's character is throughout the story. I don't think I've ever been more attached to a fictional teenager before, I just want to know more about him. I loved how he played matchmaker and was so determined for his dad and Monty to be together so they could make each other happy. That was so sweet! I'm excited that he's eventually getting his own story, I can't wait!!
I'm also looking forward to Adele's book, I'm curious about how his and Kash's story is going to unravel. While this book is the fourth in the series they can be read as standalones. However, you'll get full enjoyment if you read them all in order.
In this book you will find some of the following tropes; Hurt/Comfort, Age gap, Found Family.
