Smoking Harts #2

A Dangerous Declaration

Rate this book
In the small resort town of Smokes, love is always burning…

Wes Evans has been in love with his best friend (and sometimes friend with benefits) Andrew Hart since before he understood what that word meant, but he’s never said a word, waiting for Andrew to make the first move. Wes has always followed Andrew. He didn’t expect to change that in love.

Andrew is the jump first, think later kind of guy, except when it comes to their clients at Smoke’s Adventure Crew where he and Wes have been working as guides since they were sixteen. Andrew has always felt more at home in the wilderness than anywhere else, and while the tours give him a way to make money doing something he loves, they don’t fill his hunger for adventure… adventure that would often put him in danger if Wes weren’t there to save him.

Every year, the two go on a backpacking trip, just the two of them. Andrew gets to indulge in his reckless behavior, Wes keeps him from injuring himself, and more often than not, they fall into bed, or sleeping bags, together each night.

But when Andrew takes one risk too many, Wes is faced with the realization that he can't follow Andrew forever without breaking something more important than bones… something like his heart.

This is the second in a contemporary mpreg trilogy of three brothers finding love in the small town of Smokes, where the embers of love burn deeply, but never die. It can be read as a standalone. Warning! This book contains adult situations, with adults doing adult-only things, so 18+ readers only!

A Dangerous Declaration is a great story by Crista Crown.

Best friends and roommates, Wes has long been in love with Andrew. Embarking on a camping trip sets them down a whole new life path, with an accidental pregnancy changing everything.

It's a story of two best friends navigating their feelings and figuring out their futures. It's about unrequited love, awareness, and discovery.

I have to admit that Andrew was annoying in his lack of awareness, but he makes up for it in the end. Together, Andrew and Wes have some sizzling chemistry and make a great couple.

I love everything about A Dangerous Declaration; the tone, pace, characters, and setting. Crista Crown's writing style is fantastic in her execution of this nice friends to lovers romance. Definitely check it out when you're in the mood for a sweet romance.

Andrew Hart is a "dunder brain" of a man. He has relied on his best friend for decades to help him get on life with his organizational skills and watching his back. Wes has a problem though. He loves Andrew and always has, but Andrew can't see his "face because of his nose." Now a slip up and pregnancy with a major accident for Andrew and everything changes. Wes is giving up and Andrew is "waking" up. How will these two men find the love they have for each other before it is too late. An excellent Mpreg story. An excellent addition to this series. This is a great read for all of you Mpreg readers out there. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC book.

Crista Crown's A Dangerous Declaration is the second book in the Smoking Harts series. It's a best friends with benefits romance with a surprise pregnancy and it's great!
West and Andrew have chemistry and heat... they are sweet and fun.... and I love their story.
This is a good addition to the series and made me even more anxious for next book.

I received an advanced reader's copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.

This was a sweet little best friends with benefits story that gets complicated in the best possible way!
The story line was perfect and the characters made the book more enjoyable.
Even at times when you wanted to smack Andrew in the head for being a dummy because he couldn’t see what was in front of him.
But it was cute with a beautiful HEA ❤️

Loved it!

I wish the Alpha and Omega roles were more clear in the beginning but it was a really good and heartwarming read. I’ve got to read the first one now.

Nice story

I'm giving this a 3.5.

Overall, I liked the story, but there were a few places where the story just didn't gel the way that I would've liked.
