Review: System Overload by Saxon James
SYNOPSIS:
Keller
Banging my son’s bestie was a total accident that will never, ever happen again. I’m sure of it.
While he might be gorgeous and caught me in a weak moment, when it comes right down to it, my son has been my entire life for the last twenty-six years. I don’t know how to be anything other than his dad.
But with Molly heading off to Seattle, he leaves me with a parting gift: Will.
His best friend.
And my new roommate.
Still, I’m determined to focus on my plan of finding someone to settle down with and to start living for me.
Then Molly hits me with another gift: he’s asked Will to help find me the perfect partner.
Will
Molly running away across the country and leaving me made one thing very obvious. I crave stability. I crave a life where I get to control what happens to me, without the constant threat of having to move home to my homophobic family.
All I need to focus on is work and making enough money for the downpayment on my own place.
Except now I’m living in the spare bedroom of the man I’ve been in love with for years.
The same bedroom where we had one very messy, very quick accidental frot sesh.
Now I’m cooking for him every night, and we’re working out together every morning. It’s all feeling very domestic and my heart can’t separate reality from the fantasies in my head.
I know I’m going to get hurt.
It’s only a matter of time.
But when it comes to Keller, it’s impossible for me to walk away.
REVIEW:
*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*
This was another delightful installment in The Divorced Men’s Club Series. It wasn’t my favorite in the series but Art and Joey will be really hard to beat. I enjoyed this one none-the-less, from the unrequited love to the mostly drama free romance, it was refreshing.
Will has been pining for Keller for years, it boards on this side of pity. Since their tentative hook-up, we know the sexual chemistry is there. They have a solid foundation and have known each other for years. But Will has to get Keller to see him as more than his son’s best friend. So what did I like? I positively adored the tender, intimate conversations shared between Keller and Will, it added so much depth and heart to their budding relationship. I loved how low key everything was, casual nights at home watching movies and cuddling on the couch added a touch of authenticity and realness to their relationship.
I think my only pet peeve is Keller fell a little too fast for me. In a matter of a week it seems Keller is confessing his love to Will. I wish this was paced out a little better because it took me out of the story but also sort of felt like Keller only said it because Will confessed his own feelings and he felt like he had to say it back. Past that, I loved how meddlesome Art and Joey were, they had me laughing out loud. I also loved how awkward and hilarious the other divorced men’s club members are. Molly was a delight in this story and I adored getting to see yet another side of him. Next up, it looks like Mack is getting his HEA…I can’t wait to see if it will be with Davey or someone new!
