My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Koa never imagined he’d end up married to his best friend, Riot, and helping raise Riot’s seven siblings — even if the marriage is only for practical reasons. What he has imagined, though, is loving Riot in a way he’s never dared to admit. After years of hiding his feelings, keeping the truth to himself is getting harder, and when one secret slips out, the rest begin to unravel. Koa must finally decide whether honesty will cost him his best friend or open the door to the love he’s always wanted.
This was such a beautifully emotional story, and the connection between Koa and Riot is the heart of it. They both love each other deeply but hide it behind years of friendship, responsibility, and fear of losing what they already have. That quiet, aching devotion made their journey incredibly compelling. What truly stood out was the way they pulled together Riot’s seven siblings and created a home overflowing with love, stability, and tenderness. Every emotion — the exhaustion, the hope, the longing, the fierce protectiveness — was so easy to feel and understand through the writing. A heartfelt, intimate story about found family, unspoken love, and two men who finally realise they’ve been each other’s home all along. This was an MM story with mature content.
