Story
A year ago, Kelly Cannon couldn't imagine he'd end up with his formerly straight best friend. It's hard to believe he can finally kiss Blue anytime he wants...as long as they're in private. And there's the rub. Despite Kelly's promise to wait until Blue is ready to come out, he's tired of sneaking around. The cracks in their relationship are starting to show, and there might not be enough Spackle in the world to fix them.

Story
Julian was the boy next door. My brother's best friend, he fit with my family in ways I never could. While he and Rhett went on to play house, I left the only life I knew, desperate for a fresh start. Until everything changed. Heartache came along, and the aftermath of my brother's death was here to stay. I was now face to face with Julian more than I ever wanted to be. Being around him brought up all my insecurities, forced me to deal with hard truths, and conjured up feelings I had no business entertaining. He wasn't the man I thought I knew.

Story
Reckless, arrogant, and bold, Solo is as known in the US Navy for his bad-boy reputation as he is for his skills as a fighter pilot. It’s a surprise to his peers, then, when he’s chosen to train and compete at the most prestigious naval aviation academy in the world. Disciplined, smart, and confident, Panther can’t afford not to play by the rules. As the son of a top Navy commander, all eyes are on him, and being anything less than number one is unacceptable.

Story
Arthur is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it’s that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it. Ben thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn’t be on his way to the post office carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend’s things. But when Arthur and Ben meet-cute at the post office, what exactly does the universe have in store for them? Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated. Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited.

Private investigator Mackenzie Williams' newest client is everything he's looking for in a guy--charming, beautiful, intelligent, and successful. There's only one itty bitty problem: the guy's not exactly gay. In fact Jordan Channing is looking for a PI to follow his fiance. The smart thing would be to thank Jordan for his time, turn Mr. Perfect away (don't let the door hit you on the rump, thank you very much), and forget he exists.

It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought, until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch to. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man who crouched down and looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive was none other than my ex.

Publisher's Summary
Kelly Cannon is satisfied with his life. He has friends, a wonderful family, and a great job. But his love life has reached a new level of pitiful. Why? Well, his heart decided to break all the rules. Don't fall in love with a straight guy. And definitely don't fall in love with your best friend.
NFL standout Britton "Blue" Montgomery has pressure coming at him from all sides: from his father, who's only interested in Blue's football career; from his coaches, who just want him to play without getting injured again; from the fans; from his agent; and from his mother, who has popped up on the radar after leaving his family years before. And now his relationship with Kelly is on shaky ground, and that frightens Blue more than anything.
When Kelly admits he's in love with Blue, bonds are tested, and Blue has to decide what's really important. He doesn't want to lose the number-one person in his life, but the cost to keep Kelly close might be more than he's willing to pay. It's a good thing his nickname is the Blueprint - it's time to draft a new set of plans.

Every Gay Guys Dream
we have all been there. we have all fallen in love with our straight best friend. while this story allows the dream to seem like it's able to become reality, it still provides a sense of truth. I have been in a situation similar; however, my best friend chose not to be mine in the end. still having him in my life had proven to be better than not having him at all. I truly enjoyed the book.

Excellent, Funny - Blue and Kelly Rock!
Absolutely loved Kelly and Blue - as sensitive as they are they are also both dense in different ways - assumptions are the name of the game and they trip these guys up all along the way. You will love these two - the center of their universes are each other, no question - they are home. Sean and Alexander both excel at narration and I have to say that this is one of the funnier books I've listened to in a long time - also very touching. Kelly and his sister Kennedy are priceless!
Kelly and Blue are just really "comfortable" normal, realistic is several ways - I am so glad I bought this - very entertaining - and I immediately got up and downloaded a Deeper Blue - Thanks SE - I love these guys and these narrators, keep them coming! I let this sit in my queue for too long - but glad I got to go right on to A Deeper Blue - Loved it as well!!!!!

Don’t waste your time
I’m 100% sure this book was written by a woman because no self respecting gay man would write this.
This book went from mostly annoying to downright offensive at it portrayal of a gay man.
Jelly keeps forgiving Blue for literally no reason other than the plot needs him to for them to end up together. Blue is an asshole who gets away with it because he’s hot and Kelly has no self respect or value.
Kelly’s family should’ve been killed in the first chapter, they are unlikable, annoying and serve no purpose in the story besides annoying Kelly and making a mockery of the serous moment that is coming out for a gay person.
I wouldn’t recommend this book to my worse enemy and it’s success it’s a sad reminder of the toxic and disgusting route m/m romance has taken
The narrators were ok I guess, but Blue’s narrator made Kelly sound too young

Let me in, sweetheart
Well, seems like my love affair with S.E. Harmon is definitely going to be a long one because I adore Blue and Kelly together. 😁❤️ Again, I’m going to say it because it’s true. 😌 One, contemporary isn’t usually my cuppa and two, I typically stay away from sports romances. But damn! S.E. Harmon is seriously making me reconsider about all my reading catnips. 😉 Listening this audio was such a delightful experience. 💚
It’s a tale as old as time, a gay man secretly, madly and deeply in love with his straight best friend. Only, there’s a small but vital twist in this story, 😉 the straight best friend is also madly, deeply in love with his gay best friend. 🥰 The only issue they have? Straight friend doesn’t even know he’s in love with his gay best friend. 😁 So it’s up to Kelly the snarky, quirky, sexy Physics professor to knock some sense into that clueless big lug, Blue the superstar NFL player. 😂 After all, there’s just something so intimate and lovely about becoming the lover of your best friend whom you’ve known for your whole life. 💜
OMG! I love Kelly!!! I first discovered S.E. Harmon with her debut book “Stay with me”. And while I soooooooo adored that book, I really wanted both POVs in it and not just Mackenzie’s. So I’m ecstatic about getting both Kelly and Blue’s POVs here. 👏 This is a very slow-burn romance with a lot of tug and pulls and many heart-wrenching tender moments. 😌 Kelly is in love with Blue but he’s tired of chasing him. And Blue is also in love with Kelly but doesn’t have an idea that he is. Even when he realized that he loved Kelly, it was a struggle for Blue to change and overturn his life upside down for the man he loves. As always, the banters were gold! 😁 It’s funny, quirky, amusing, snarky and absolutely hilarious! 😂👏 Damn, S.E. Harmon definitely has my kind of humor. 😏 And the sex? Damn! 🔥 The smut was scorching! 🔥 I do have a thing for straight men getting introduced to this side of the rainbow so popping butt cherry of Blue was definitely my catnip! 😁 I loved everything about this book. 💙 The only fault I can find with this book is the narration. Before I listened this book, I had no idea why people complained about the audio of this book because I did the sample and it was so good. The thing is although both Alexander Cendese and Sean Crisden are such amazing narrators (they both are in my favorite narrators list 🥰), this books’s narration advertising is misleading. 😑 It is not a dual narration it’s supposed to be. Instead of narrating the whole book together, the two narrators read different chapters of the books, Blue’s POV chapters and Kelly’s POV chapters. I understand that doing a true dual narration is not only difficult but also very expensive. It is very time-consuming and takes twice as long as using a single narrator plus double the cost. So doing separate chapters instead of doing the whole book together alternatively makes sense, well, financially. 🤷♀️ But as a reader, ideally, I wish they’d just used one narrator instead of two if they can’t do a true dual narration. 🙂 That being said, I think of these two very pleasant and sexy voices reading separate chapters as main characters doing inner dialogues of each other and that mindset really helped while listening this book. I don’t regret listening this book in audio and I’m still going to do the second book in audio. 😌 And I can’t freaking wait to get the happily ever after of Kelly and Blue. Because these two men definitely deserve each other and an epic HEA in the end. 🥰 Now, only clocks would wind faster and get to 2nd April! 😁

Kelly made the book.
3.5
This is one of those books that, if I could, I'd give all the stars to one character- Kelly deserved them all! Blue, not so much.
I'd been scrolling through books narrated by Alexander Cendese's, trying to find something new since I've missed his voice, and was excited to come across this one- m/m, best friends to lovers, and in the Escape package- score! Right from the get-go I was a fan of Kelly- he was funny and snarky, and I just got a kick out of him. It didn't hurt that Alexander was the one bringing him to life!
I love a good GFY, best friends-to-lovers story, and even though there was much about Blue that I didn't completely care for, I really did like Kelly and wanted him to get his man, so I was able to overlook *some* of the issues I had with Blue.
Kelly and Blue had a really great friendship, and I felt for Kelly when it came to him trying to keep his true feelings from Blue. It was hard for me to truly accept Blue's transition from pretty much being as straight as they come, to now being bi and wanting Kelly. From the start of his pov we were never given an inkling that he was in any way, shape, or form, interested in Kelly as anything more than a friend. I never really bought the whole idea of him having feelings for Kelly when they were younger, it just didn't ring true to me. And that was the hardest, and saddest, part for me- I just never felt a true connection between the two of them.
The narration was very good. I'm a big fan of Alexander Cendese and I loved him as Kelly! He brought the perfect amount of vulnerabilty and snark to his character. I like Sean Crisden's voice, and have really enjoyed other books he's narrated, but I have to wonder if some of why I didn't really connect with Blue was because of his performance. And I don't mean anything bad by that, *I* just didn't get much "feeling" from him, and it could be as simple as that.
Although some might get the impression after reading this review that I didn't really enjoy this one, but I did. I'm happy that Kelly and Blue were able to get to a point in their relationship where things were good between them.I don't know that I'm going to rush out to grab the second book, though, I'm kind of happy leaving these 2 right where things left off between them.

My Review:
Overall: 4.5
Performance: 4.25
Story: 4.5
I pretty much loved everything about this audiobook. Both the narrators were fabulous and I could listen to them narrate a story all day long.
But what put this story ahead was the story. (And note...YES, I am a SUCKER for a good friends to lovers story.) And this is a really good one.
Blue and Kelly have been best friends forever. Kelly has always been gay and Blue's been fine with that even though he's straight. He has no idea that Kelly has romantic feelings for him, but even if he did, he still would probably be fine with it...he just wouldn't act on it...or would he?
These two guys are as close as two guys can be without being lovers. They are best friends in everything. And unfortunately, that means that Kelly has had to witness way too many of Blue's intimate moments with the random women he dates as an NFL star. But that's fine. That's just the way it is, although it kind of kills a bit of Kelly every time.
But when the roles are changed and it's Blue walking in on Kelly in an intimate moment, everything changes. Blue doesn't like it and he doesn't truly understand why. He's not gay so why is he suddenly actively cock-blocking Kelly like a jealous, spurned lover? Things are definitely screwed up between them and that only gets worse when Blue gets hurt and moves in with Kelly while he recuperates.
There is a whole lot of sexual drama happening in this one...both between the guys and in the periphery. They've both hooked up with other people, are still actively trying to hook up with other people just to ignore what's happening between them, and they are both completely confused on how to fix all this awkwardness that's never been there before.
Like I said, I completely loved this book, and was so excited to find out that there's a second book coming! YES!! Now, the hard part will be can I wait longer for the audiobook or will I have to read this one immediately? That's going to be a hard wait, so we'll see...
Regardless, I'm excited. I definitely recommend this one!

Love this book!
I am extremely impressed by the characters in this book, even those with few lines have depth. Which means the voice actors covered a lot of ground. I am looking forward to more of this author’s work.

Hilarious and Heartfelt
I love SE Harmon. And The Blueprint did not disappoint. The relationship between best friends Kelly and Blue is awesome. They are so much fun and you can really tell they love each other even if it takes Blue some extra time to catch up.
The narration, with all the snark and sarcasm and humor of the men's personalities, is spot on. Using two different narrators really brought each character's individuality to the forefront and made the audio experience even better. I laughed out loud, I swooned, even cried a little.
I'm new to audio but I've already recommended The Blueprint audiobook to a couple friends. I feel lucky that this was one of the first to pop my audiobook cherry!

one of my favourite relistens!
One of the best stories and narration out there. I laughed so hard at the snark that is pretty much all through the book.
Excellent narration by both narrators. Highly recommend 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Blue...I dislike you...a lot!!
4.25 stars from me. New to me narrator Alexander Cendese was great as Kelly, with the right amount of snark in his fabulous banter with Blue...as narrated by Sean Crisden, mostly using his Bear McKenna/Thompson 'rant' voice which I absolutely loved. I wasn't actually very keen on the character of Blue [and it would appear I'm in the majority for a change 🎉]...in fact, I was fed up with Kelly for giving in to him all the bloody time 🤯 and then allowing him to set the rules as to how they went forward from there. Kelly was the one getting hurt, not Blue...he was just getting some on the side while supposedly making his mind up, so friends with bennies for him and more heartbreak waiting to happen for Kels 💔. It must be awful for a gay guy to fall in love with his straight [or not] best friend 😕.
Not long to wait for the audio to come out for A Deeper Blue...a couple of months I think, and I won't be reading the sequel, I'll definitely be listening to it. These two narrators go well together.

Loved it!
Enjoyed every minute of this book. A worthy translation from text to audio. Both narrators were fabulous and did justice to the character. Highly recommended

Blue and Kelly
This was such a great read now on my list of best reads for 2020.
I was so invested in both guys I just didn't want the book to finish I purchased the audio book which brought the book to life.
Such a great story line with wonderful narration ..
Perfect words by S.E. Harmon added with adorable narration by Alexander Cendese and Sean Crisden.

Hugely fun!
Physics professor, Kelly Cannon, has always secretly crushed on his best friend and NFL tight end, Britton Montgomery, aka “The Blueprint”. Unfortunately, Blue is straight with no shortage of eager women. This was fun, with a lot of humour and the two extremely likeable main characters both had some great lines! I grinned a lot. 🎧 I always love Alexander Cendese’s playfully deep voice and, after this, I’m adding Sean Crisden to my favourites list too. You could tell that both performers enjoyed narrating this - great expression and comic timing!
