Review
Now here’s a truly endearing friends to lovers story for you.
Shawn and Dave have been best friends forever. What Dave doesn’t
know, because Shawn has made very sure to keep it a secret, is that his best
friend has been in love with him since they were teenagers. And why would Shawn
have told him? Dave is straight and Shawn knows that opening his mouth would only
result in complicating, if not ending, a friendship he treasures.
Except that Dave is not quite as straight as he and Shawn always
assumed. Recently Dave has found himself attracted to the man he’s always loved
as a friend. But surely that’s not something you just blurt out. After all,
Shawn only sees Dave as a friend, doesn’t he?
When Dave stumbles across Shawn’s hidden collection of sexy
lingerie, the floodgates are opened and hidden passions are acted upon in the
most enticing way. But Dave still needs to get used to his newly discovered
sexuality and Shawn can’t shake the feeling that Dave is only into him because
of the kinky underwear.
This is a typical case of if only the two of them had been less
stereotypically male, if they’d actually opened their mouths and shared their
thoughts, doubts, and feelings with each other, a lot of angst could have been
avoided. But both of them fear that total honesty might result in alienating
the other and destroying a friendship they value too much to risk.
Things need to come to ahead before Shawn and Dave can find the
happily ever after they so obviously deserve. The journey they undertake to get
to that point is somewhat naughty, extremely sexy, at times laugh out loud funny,
and not without a few tugs on the heartstrings.
For such a short story all characters, including the secondary
ones, were very well developed. And I have to mention once more that this
author writes mothers very, very well. The writing, as always from K.C. Wells,
is so smooth the story almost reads itself and I dare anyone to pick this novella
up and not finish it in one sitting.
Lace is a pure delight for anybody who enjoys a cute and sexy
story featuring two endearing young men. Enjoy!

Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C. WELLS always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way. K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, when the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings—writing about men in love was even hotter….

And as for those men in love that she writes about? The list of stories just waiting to be written is getting longer… and longer….
K.C. loves to hear from readers.
