Love this series

This is another wonderful story in this series. I love how protective Axel is of Sawyer. Axel wants to make sure his best friend knows just how special and worthy he is. Even though there is a lot of action and unknowing going on, Axel and Sawyer find a way to move from friends to lovers. I love how we see alittle from the other characters and I look forward to the next story.
Narrator C.S. Harder does a fabulous job.

Friends to lovers

Two friends pinning for each other. Sawyer and Axel story is sweet. Just the right amount of pinning, throw in the ex and you have a great story!

Sweet and fluffy, except for the ruthless criminal

I really, really enjoyed the suspense. The frustration and fear brought by Rodrigues to all the characters is utterly tangible through the whole book.

It took me a bit to get what was going on as I didn't read or listen to the first book, which is completely my fault, and I recommend that you don't make the same mistake :P

The love story between the very sweet detective Sawyer and Axel, who is studying to become a nurse and is filled with self-doubt is delightful, but not really what got me hooked. They are best friends and pinning for each other, both afraid of ruining their friendship if they try for something more. Until Axel's psycho ex-boyfriend attacks him in a parking lot and Sawyer comes to the rescue :P I like how Sawyer is determined to make Axel understand how valuable he is, how worthy of respect and consideration he is. And I enjoyed seeing Axel slowly understand and internalize this. But I never really empathized with Axel. I guess I like my omegas more... self-assured :P

C.S. Harder does a good job with the narration.

Great Listen!!

I haven’t read a romance by a male author before. Glad I gave this one a try. The crime aspect mixed with the love story was perfect. Not having read a similar story before, I kept waiting for them to turn into wolves because the terms alpha and omega were used throughout the story. The hardest part of the story for me was the voiced used for Sawyer sounded feminine or childlike. That was such a little thing that I quickly adapted to. Overall, I would read another novel by this author.

sweet and entertaining

In Love With My Bestie is the second book in the Second Chance Lovers series by Austin Bates. Sawyer and Axle are interesting and likeable characters who have a great story to tell. Angst/drama, humor, sweetness and steam... this story holds your attention and keeps you reading. A good addition to the series.

Narration is done by C S Harder. Smooth and easy to listen to. Clear recording and voicework. The characters really shone and the story enjoyable.

enjoyed it

Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Were there any parts I found annoying: little too much self-doubt in Sawyer for my liking
Did I feel an emotional connection to the characters: i did by the end, but it took me a while to get there
Would I listen to it again: probably

Good story with an interesting array of characters, add in angst, drama, some humor and a psycho ex-boyfriend and the result is a friends to lovers story that makes for an entertaining listen.

C.S. Harder did a good job on the narration and added to the audio experience.

Pretty good

Nice sweet story about two best friends finally admitting their feelings. Story dragged at parts and narrator occasionally said Alex instead of Axel.

Another great addition to this series!

And were off with book 2. Right from page one this book had me hook, line and sinker. Axel has a secret crush on his best friend Sawyer and Sawyer has a secret crush on his best friend Axel. But neither will say anything for fear of ruining their years of being besties! The cast of zany characters and the nasty ex. add so much to the over all story! This is such a great book, the writing, the character development the over all plot just flows so effortlessly. I completely enjoyed listening to this Audible book. You will not go wrong with getting book 1 & 2 in this series. An avid reader/listener in Rock Tavern, NY.

Loved it!

I love the story especially the main pairing; they are such a cute couple. I also like how supportive their friends are.

I liked listening to this narrator; he did a great job.

I will definitely continue with the rest of the series.

Axel & Sawyer

Axel is his best friend and hates watching other Alphas mistreat Sawyer. Both want more but are afraid the other does not feel more nor do they want to damage their friendship. They have a lot to learn and much more to navigate with any real relationship with Axel's case taking a hard turn.
