Publisher's summary

Ford

I’ve never thought much about Orson Naples.

He’s a cute guy who I’d seen around town a few times, but then one day he up and left and didn’t reappear until a few years later. No one knows where he went or what he was doing, all this gossipy town knows is that he’s a widower, owns the florist, and is friends with that divorced group that hang out at the Killer Brew all the time.

But then one day I step into his flower shop and go from rarely thinking about him, to him constantly being on my mind.

There’s a restlessness to him that I’m dying to unlock answers to.

And his eyes linger on me a little too long for a straight man …

Orson

Ford Thomas is a pest. A delightful one. A tempting one. But I’m too old for games.

The ones I’ve played in the past have always led me to trouble which is why I vowed to settle down and live a quiet life.

So when Ford walks into my shop all uncontained energy and flirty quips in a pair of heavy work boots, I know I should show him the door.

I don’t need fun. I don’t need experiences.

Especially when those experiences have me questioning things I thought I knew about myself.

New favorite!

I can’t believe I’m saying this because they’re all so good, but book 3 is my favorite from the DMC series! Ford & Orson have my heart! The writing is gorgeous, I always love a good bi-awakening (or queer awakening I should say). 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Nice Job

Love HEA stories. The author was amazing. It’s because of him I did not put the book down.

Good, but I liked the other better

This may be the mood I have been in, but I didn’t enjoy this one as much as her other books. I was not as caught up in the story. That being said I still enjoyed this and have not, in any way, been turned off. Saxon James is a gem and I will read/listen to anything they write.

Good

Honestly the whole series at this point is just ok. Not too much but not too little. It’s lukewarm.

Orsen and Ford

𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙪𝙥 𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙥 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙩 𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙢 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙩.

Budding Attraction is the third book in the Divorced Men's Club by Saxon James.

Orsen is trying to move forward after the death of his wife. Ford has taken notice of Orsen and continually comes into his flower shop to flirt with him and attempt to get him to notice him. The only issue is, Orsen is straight, or so he thinks.

Orsen and Ford are so adorable. I love the constant banter and flirting between them. They do experience some bumps in the road along the way but finally, get their HEA. I love the DMC Group Chats as they are always a good laugh.

Nick J. Russo did an amazing job bringing the story and all of the characters to life.

I can not wait for the next book and the series and for what's to come from Saxon James.

Get ready for... m/m, strangers to lovers, bi-awakening, first times, later in life, dual first-person pov.

Rating... 4.5 Maple Leafs
Heat Level... 4 Flames

This is golden

Orson and Ford absolutely stole this series for me. Orson takes on his new feelings and runs with them. Ford is such a softy and lets Orson figure it out. You'll love all the flirting and the sex is 🌶🌶🌶.
