Witnessing this bond spill over into sex put a huge smile on my face: well almost short hand because they have been friends, best friends for so long. I have to say I can’t remember the last time I read a m/f friends to lovers romance as I tend to read this trope more in the m/m space but this one delivered on this question in spades! Parker and Ben truly are the best of friends when we meet them as 24 year olds who have been friends since college.īen and Parker have an adorable banter. This one asks… Can a guy and a girl really be “just friends”? I truly enjoyed Ben and Parker’s story in Blurred Lines. And maybe, deep down, they never want to. With their friendship on the rocks for the first time, Parker and Ben face an alarming truth: Maybe they can't go back. And when Ben starts seeing a girl from work, Parker finds herself plagued by unfamiliar jealousy. But when Parker's ex decides he wants her back, Ben is shocked by a fierce stab of possessiveness. The sex is mind-blowing, and their friendship remains as solid as ever, without any of the usual messy romantic entanglements. The trouble is, even with Ben as her wingman, Parker can't seem to get the hang of casual sex-until she tries it with him.

But when Parker's boyfriend dumps her out of the blue, she starts to wonder about Ben's no-strings-attached approach to dating. Six years later, they're still best friends, sharing an apartment in Portland's trendy Northwest District as they happily settle into adult life. When Parker Blanton meets Ben Olsen during her freshman year of college, the connection is immediate-and platonic. In a novel that's perfect for fans of Abbi Glines and Jessica Sorensen, USA Today bestselling author Lauren Layne delivers a sexy take on the timeless question: Can a guy and a girl really be “just friends”?
