Crushing On My Father's Best Friend: The Complete Second Chance Lovers Bundle

Rate this book
I can’t love him. It’s not allowed.

Twenty years ago, I made a promise. If anything ever happened to Marc - my best friend - I'd step up and take care of his wife and baby son.

I never thought I'd have to honor it. Never even dreamed that something would happen to him. He was an unyielding presence in my life. Always solid. Always there.

And now he's dead. Murdered in cold blood.

His wife, Lindy, is holding in there.

But his son, Mason, isn't coping very well at all. It's gotten so bad that he may have to postpone his final semester of university. All I want to do is look out for him, and having me around seems to help.

But I have a secret. It’s more than grief. Mason wants me - the way an omega wants their alpha.

And heaven help me, but I want him, too.

I'm so sorry, Marc. I love your son. And now I don't know what to do.

Crushing On My Father’s Best Friend is a dual point of view, contemporary mpreg novel featuring a guaranteed happy ending and the healing that comes through the power of love. The first in its series, this title can be read as a standalone book.

📚🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧📚

🎙C.S. Harder 🎙

Ratings: Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️/Narrator ⭐️⭐️⭐️/Story ⭐️⭐️⭐️

While the blurbs drew me in, I found this series was more fluff than anything. There was a little depth to each story, as it touched on different topics and tropes, but it was superficial, at best. That said, sometimes life is too heavy, and you just want fluff to take your mind off of things. If that’s the case, or you like books along these lines on a regular basis, this series is for you. The characters intermingle throughout the series, so the time you spend with them doesn’t end when their personal story does. Each book reaches its own HEA, and can stand on its own, despite sharing characters. C.S. Harder is a new to me narrator. Some of his voices I liked, and some I did not. He was able to keep the characters different enough that it’s always easy to tell who was talking.

I recieved this boxset for Free to Give My True & Honest Review

These were my first books by Austin Bates that I have read.
As I was slow in reading this & the audios were out & I found that the title of the boxset & Title of the series didn't sell it as the way I was expecting the books to go as it was only the first book where the Son was in love with his Dad's best friend.
And the 2nd chances happened really in 1 of the books. So that's my negatives but they are each loving Omega - Alpha relations & I always kept expected them to be Shifters especially with some of the vocabulary about senses & feelings

As far as the entire bundle goes, this is a great deal for the amount of listening hours you are getting. I love being able to listen to a series like this, where the books are mostly stand alone, but all of the characters are from the same town and interact throughout each book, their story continuing on along the way.

I enjoyed the themes across all 6 stories, whether it be best friend's father or best friend, or new guy in town/enemy it was packed with fun and excitement. Two of the middle stories were my favorite, both for the characters and the situational events of their stories.

I would recommend this bundle to anyone looking for a sweet, long, romantic journey!

Wonderful❤️

I have read each of these books at least twice but probably more! I love each and every story! Having the whole series together makes it so much easier to read or in my case reread!
