Wingman 101: Make him fall head over heels in love.
Brad
What’s a straight guy to do when he accidentally goes on a date with his brand new gym-bro? Offer to be the best wingman ever, of course! It’s foolproof.
Joey needs a man? I’ll find him one.
He wants someone who looks, well, kind of like me? No problem!
Not into watersports? I’ve got him covered.
The issue is, going on all these dates with Joey makes me realize I want more of his time to be spent with me. I like the guy. And his smile. And the way he makes me feel like anything is possible.
Except… I can’t possibly be who Joey needs. He wants his forever person. His great big love.
And no matter how perfect the dude’s abs are or how skilled he is as a cuddle-bro, the two of us will never be more than friends. Because I’m straight.
Right?
10 Ways to Accidentally Fall in Love is a lighthearted romantic comedy with disastrous dates, more innuendo than is probably healthy, an oblivious sweetheart, the gym-dude who falls for him swiftly, and a HEA loaded with firsts. It has characters who originally appeared in Himbo (Elite 8 Studios Book 4) but is set as a standalone.
Brad is so blissfully unaware of his adorableness. Hes straight. Or so he thinks. But hes just so friendly that he may have inadvertently led his bro Joey on and he really didn’t mean to. Like seriously. This man just goes with the flow. He definitely lights up every room. He wouldn’t hurt a fly, let alone his new best friend.
Joey has been friend zoned! He knows he shouldn’t do this to himself but he agrees to stay friends. The more he gets to know Brad the more he wants him. But Brad is straight, right? Right! Moving on. How does he move on when the more he gets to know Brad, the more he wants to be more than just Brad’s gym bro.
Talk about a predicament.
I cannot recall ever laughing so much while reading or listening to a book. Nick did a terrific job. All the sound effects and stuff. He really brought the story to life and played the 2 men well.
