De: Lexi Amber

Narrado por: Alexander Cendese, Mac Rae

Parker

Oakley has been my best friend since we were eight. We live together, work together, and our lives are completely intertwined. His past girlfriends never understood how close we are, but Oak says the right girl wouldn't be threatened.

I'm not so sure.

Now we're both dating a pair of best friends who seem to get it. The four of us click instantly, and for once, everything feels… easy.

But then a dare leads to a kiss, and suddenly, nothing feels easy at all.

Oakley

Dating best friends? Genius idea. Parker and I finally found girls who don't question how inseparable we are. I thought I'd found the one, until a silly game flipped everything on its head.

Because when I kissed Parker, it didn't feel like a joke. It felt like something I've been waiting for without even realizing it.

Now I'm questioning everything… my feelings, my past, and most of all, what Parker really means to me.

Maybe the person I've been searching for has been by my side all along.

Book two in the Chicago Awakening Series, this stand-alone, best friends-to-lovers romance will follow Oakley and Parker.

I’m not crying 😭

This book had me all up in my feels from chapter one. From the moment Parker and Oakley met, it was obvious they were each other’s person.

Oakley being there during the worst day of Parker’s life was only the beginning of how special their friendship was going to be. It was the moment that really cemented their relationship.

If the term joined at the hip had a face, it’d be theirs. They did everything together and knew everything about each other.

The only ones that couldn’t see they were in love was them😂 Everyone else could tell they had a special bond that went beyond just friendship.

It took one dare for them to realize that maybe what they felt was more than friendship love. It was realizing that they couldn’t see a future where they weren’t together and it was so beautiful to see them finally acknowledge that.

Of course, it took a major health scare for Oakley to get his head out of his butt and confess to Parker how much he loved him. I swooned with his declaration of love and their pinky promise. God, they’re just so beautiful and sweet.

And can I just say how much I love Mac and Alexander’s narration? Mac’s voice is just so soothing and beautiful. And Alexander always makes me smile with his enthusiasm. Really love them together.

Another hit

Absolutely love everything Lexi Amber does!!! This one is another amazing book with narrators bringing it to life and making it even better!!!

What an amazing friendship!!

This book was such a sweet story of 2 childhood best friends, being each others better half’s for most of their lives, then turned into something more! The timeline of their friendship really showed the connection Parker & Oakley had and how strong it really was! Also the relationship they had with Sage & Aspen just showed how much they all meant to one another and how quickly bonds can be made! So beautiful!

Low angst and everything works out easily

I don’t always want to be emotionally overloaded when reading and this book (series) is a great read for when you just want everything to work out. It’s a low stress, low angst read.

Parker and Oakley have a great friendship, so great that neither want to spoil it with additional feelings. But once that door was opened, it could t be helped. They love each other with such abandon, it just takes them awhile to realize their feelings and work up the courage to tell each other.

Narration is on point,

Adorable light hearted BF Romance

This was such a cute easy read. Low angst, slow burn, childhood friends to lovers who finally realize what's been in front of them all along. The dual POV made it fun, seeing them both misconstrue what the other was thinking.
2.5/5 🌶
Narrators were good but the pacing was a little fast on Oakley's POV, had to reduce the speed sometimes.
