“I dare you to kiss me.”
Kindred Rivals is a book I could not put down. The sexual and romantic tension between leads Zeth and Ambrose was so delicious!
Childhood best friends and former lovers Zeth and Ambrose reunite as adults and quickly find themselves in unfamiliar territory. Where once they were open and sweet with each other, now the pressures of adulthood lead them to lie, hide their feelings, and worst of all: to compete for the hand of a woman neither of them could ever love. It’s only when they rediscover the reasons behind their friendship that they realize the beautiful future they once dreamed of might just be possible.
Check out Kindred Rivals for a delightful lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers story with emotional sex, soft kink exploration, and genuine caring between two men who are very bad at falling out of love.
