Description

Life has a brutal way of hitting you when you’re already down. For one man, the collapse of his toxic marriage coincides with the end of his career, leaving him stranded in a wreckage of his own making. In the midst of this downward spiral, the only beacon of stability is Zephryn, his best friend and the one person who makes the world feel manageable. He always labeled himself as a straight man dedicated to soccer—a person whose life was defined by the expectations of others. But deep down, the physical pull toward Zephryn was becoming impossible to ignore. A single, impulsive question—"Do you want me?"—ignites a long-simmering tension that explodes into a single, scorching kiss against a car door. That one moment shattered every boundary he had carefully built. Now, he is running scared. The shame, the confusion, and the terror of losing his anchor pull him away just as he finds the awakening he never knew he needed. How do you confront a life-altering truth when your entire world is falling apart? This spicy, heartfelt prequel to the Choosing Us series explores the messy, exhilarating journey of realizing that the love you’ve been hunting for has been standing right in front of you all along.

loved

When We Hid is the prequal for the Choosing Us series by a new to me author. This is a sexual awakening, friends to more read about Zeph and Micah and ends in a cliffhanger. I really enjoyed this book and was so excited to see where it went, until I realized that it's a mmf book so I guess I will just have to stay happy with what I have read so far.

Best Friends, Bi Awakening

Short prelude to a continuing story. Micah and Zephryn are best friends who have secret crushes on each other. Micah is going through a horrible divorce & Zephryn is helping him out any way he can. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was perfect!

I really enjoyed this prequel novella! I am so ready for their book and to see how Hailey fits into the budding relationship between Zeph and Micah. And I need to know where they end up! It was too easy to fall in love with these set of unsure friends to lovers. I just want to hug them both and keep them forever!
