HOT AXE is the second instalment in the Axford Brothers series from May Archer. This is best friends to lovers bi awakening romance.
From the blurb:
Falling in love with my straight best friend? Tragically inevitable.
Telling him? Completely out of the question.
Everyone in Winsome knows Robbie and I are a matched set. A package deal. Ames and Robbie, Robbie and Ames.
He’s the calm to my chaos. The sun shining through my rain cloud. The guy who convinced me to be a firefighter. The man who’s known every single thing about me since we were thirteen…
Except for the teeny, tiny, inconsequential fact that I’ve been in love with him for years.
I planned to take this secret to the grave. Robbie’s straight. He’s engaged. And I’m finally–finally–ready to move on.
But one uncontrollable blaze, one daring rescue, one inconvenient injury, and one heavily-medicated, wildly inappropriate love confession later, my plan’s up in flames.
Suddenly helpful, perfect, shirtless Robbie is bathing me, dressing me, and nursing me back to health. And if being around my gorgeous bestie 24/7 wasn’t torture enough, it seems I’m not the only one having un-platonic thoughts.
But there’s no way I’m letting myself fall into the fantasy again. Because if I let myself believe this is real and it isn’t, it won’t just break my heart… it’ll break us.
And I refuse to risk our friendship, no matter how tempting the man’s hot axe might be.
Molly Otto's review:
Robbie & Ames have been a package deal since childhood, everyone knows this, well everyone but them. Ames has been in love with Robbie forever, but you cannot fall in love with your straight engaged best friend. When Robbie gets engaged, Ames begins to pull away so that he can accept and be okay with this next step in their life. Robbie doesn't understand what's all going on all he knows he's unsettled and when an on-the-job accident nearly takes away his best friend, Robbie comes to terms and sees all the truths in his life he's been ignoring. Now it's his turn to show Ames they can be real, too bad these two are stubborn and it's going to take work on both of there be halves to be able to make this real. This is one of those times the best friends to lovers' tropes doesn't annoy me, but you understand both sides and why it takes both men some to wake up and see the truth. You feel their hesitation and their love all at the same time, you know when they get to that same page, they will make it work and get their well-deserved happiness.
