After Tonight
One night can change everything.
Nico has been in love with his best friend for almost as long as he can remember. He’s spent years suppressing his feelings and has finally resigned himself to a life of meaningless relationships with men who will never be Jack. But when a clumsy accident results in a passionate night between him and Jack, he isn’t sure he can keep his feeling in check for much longer.
Jack has known Nico since he was eleven years old, and has never thought of him as anything other than his best friend, despite years of people telling him how perfect they’d be together. But when one night together proves not to be enough for Jack, he starts thinking maybe he should have been listening to those people all along.
Can Nico and Jack make a friend-with-benefits arrangement work without damaging their friendship?
After Tonight is a 16K word standalone MM romance that includes years of pining, friends with benefits, nosy friends, and so much clumsiness.

☆ «— Nico. Te amo con todo lo que llevo dentro. No todo el mundo tiene la suerte de encontrar a su alma gemela a los once años. Puede que nos haya tomado algunos años llegar a este punto, pero estoy muy contento de poder llamarte mi esposo.»
☆ Este libro es una historia muy corta y llena de cosas bonitas, todo es tan cursi y lleno de amor. Tenemos la historia de Nico y Jack que se conocieron cuando tenían once años y han sido mejores amigos desde entonces; siempre han estado juntos y no importa cuantas parejas hayan tenido o dejen de tener, nada de eso tiene relevancia siempre y cuando se tengan el uno al otro. Nico ha sabido desde siempre que está enamorado de Jack pero no ha actuado en consecuencia por miedo a arruinar su amistad, hasta que es el mismo Jack quien besa a Nico y comienzan a darse cuenta que han estado destinados desde siempre a terminar juntos.
☆ Me encantan este tipo de historias que son cortitas, cargadas de malvavisco y ternura. La relación entre ambos protagonistas es innegablemente preciosa, es muy claro que siempre han estado enamorados y lo demuestran siendo los únicos en los que siempre confían, siempre están ahí para las cosas importantes del otro, ríen, juegan, salen, tienen citas, conocen cada secreto, gusto, rareza o temor del otro. Y tras una ruptura amorosa de los novios de ambos, se dan cuenta que realmente no se sienten tristes ya que aún se tienen entre ellos, así es como deciden arriesgarse a tener algo más que amistad y sus sentimientos solo van aumentando de manera tan preciosa que finalmente se admiten, de la forma más tonta y al estilo de ellos, que se aman y que quieren estar juntos para siempre.
☆ Es entretenida y creo que si el libro hubiera sido un poco más largo, con el tiempo adecuado para profundizar un poco más en la historia, le hubiera dado las cinco estrellas porque me encantan las historias cursis y el friends to lovers❤️.
☆ «—Jack. Mi mejor amigo. Mi alma gemela. Mi todo. Cada día que he pasado contigo durante los últimos diecisiete años han sido los días favoritos de mi vida, y estoy muy agradecido de que tengamos toda una vida de días favoritos por delante siendo esposos. Te amo.»

This was my first read by this author and I really liked it.
It was a cute friends to lovers story.
Nico and Jack have been best friends since they met at 11, but Nico's been in love with Jack since he was in his young teens. Jack, however, is completely oblivious to this. Even if Nico was the first person he thought of when he needed to share something, even if they were together for nearly every day, even if they kissed and hugged; all of these things meant they were just each other's best friends.
Or was there more to it?
He needs another friend to point out the obvious.
And since that moment, he's slowly starting to see what was before him all along.
Very sweet novella, well written and with two really adorable MC's.
It won't be my last read by this author.

Good fun with sweet interactions between characters. One clueless guy who can't see the adoration from the other.

Sweet with Heat
After Tonight was a sweet, steamy friends-to-lovers romance and I absolutely adored it. Nico and Jack were perfect together and I enjoyed reading their story.

I love these short novellas because you get all the good parts with no angst. Jack and Nico were adorable and even though it took them years to get together, it was worth it. This was a really cute and sweet love story!

Enjoyed very much!
Easy and enjoyable romance between 2 best friends. Jack and Nico were perfect in being sweet and sexy. I had to laugh at the joint break up...they really did do everything together!

I love low drama stories like this where best friends realise they are perfect for each other. Even better when one has been in love with the other for a long time

Cute best friends to lovers trope. Nico and Jack are bound at the hip since age eleven and finally figure it out. Nolan writes an entertaining and funny love story.

soy una chica simple que le gusta el cliche y los finales felices, en conclusión, un libro muy bonito para salir de un bloqueo lector.

Me gustó y a pesar de ser corto, el autor se da la maña para contarlo de tal manera que me hizo sentir que conocía a los personajes desde hace tiempo, empatizando con ellos y disfrutando de su historia de principio a fin. Un relato caliente y tierno.
