Harmony of Hearts #3
Change His Tune
Ferris is straight, but that’s never stopped him from engaging in some friendly flirting with Tiago. But is Ferris ready for his fake flirtations with his best friend to become real?
Tiago Álvarez
My last great idea ended with me on my knees praying to the porcelain gods, so I don’t blame Ferris for being skeptical when I tell him I’ve come up with a genius masterplan to boost our popularity. But this strategy is guaranteed to work! If we take a page out of the K-Pop boyband playbook by coyly flirting with each other to drive the fangirls wild, then we’ll surely end up with millions of followers on social media. I’m a genius, right?
But just between us, I have an ulterior motive in convincing my best friend that we should share our banter with the fans. I want to make him see that our casual flirting could turn into something real. The only thing standing in my way is the fact that he’s straight. But it’s obvious how much fun he has teasing me, so I wonder if maybe he’s not as straight as he used to be?
Can I convince my best friend through our fake flirting that I’m actually in love with him?
Ferris Valdemar
As long as I’ve been friends with Tiago, we’ve always joked around with each other. Even though I’m straight, I’ll flirt with anyone since it’s so fun. That’s why his idea to win over more fans by playing up our witty exchanges for the cameras doesn’t seem like such a big deal. But as he ramps up his charm, it becomes harder to distinguish the blur between what’s fake and what’s real.
One minute, I’m laughing as Tiago and I film a dramatic reading of fan fiction written about us being together. The next, we’re suddenly kissing. It unlocks the flood gates of my feelings as things quickly get out of hand. It’s like I suddenly can’t get enough of him. So much for being straight.
I should end the farce and pretend nothing ever happened between us, but how can I do that when I want more of him?
Change His Tune is the third book in the Harmony of Hearts series and part of the Sunnyside universe. This novel features a friends to lovers, bi awakening, fake dating, rock star, gay romance. If you love cute sweetness, sexy fun, and no angst stories that will make you laugh and swoon, you’ll enjoy this satisfying HEA without cliffhangers. Each book can be read as a standalone or as part of the series in order.

This is the longest, most frustrating "slow burn" I believe I have ever read!! On the other hand it was one of the fastest "let’s get to it" i have ever seen just as soon as Ferris came on board with it. I mean, there has been ten...yes, count them...TEN years of frustrating build up. Ferris should have at least given Tiago a moment to catch his breath and grasp that there is a now a HUGE U-turn in their relationship from best friends to lovers and forever boyfriends. Ferris was honest with his concerns and issues, but it was Tiago that made the story 100% perfect. He was so caring, sweet and patient. He was also very honest in the fact that things don’t always go perfectly the way the movies and books portray it. Now, who could have imagined that?:) I've read this series for some time now and at last I am happy that nearly all the band members have finally sorted it all out and are finding their HEA with those that are not only their mates but are also their best friends. I wish this book had come in audio. It would have been so nice to have been able to listen to Tiago and Ferris speaking to one another and their conversations with their fellow band members. It is so sweet how this entire group cares so very much for their long-time friends. This book, like all so far in the series, was zero angst and spend quite a bit of time setting up the next book in the series. I can't wait to read Sal's story.

I was so excited to finally read Ferris & Tiago's story, and I wasn't disappointed at all. These 2 are great together, and I love how they just seamlessly slipped into their relationship. Their hijinks together were so funny, and I'd love to see more of these guys.

This book just flew by!
Ariella Zoelle never disappoints. I know that when I delve into one of her books, it’s going to make me smile, it’s going to make me happy, and it’s just going to be a feel-good romance that I can sink into.
Now I only realised after I’d already started this book that I haven’t actually read book two (how, I have no idea!) but I still loved reading Ferris & Tiago’s romance. So now I shall backtrack and see Levi get his HEA.

I have enjoyed this series from the start. I especially love how connected it is to the others so that while you read one story you get flashbacks of the previous ones. This makes a wonderful complex world I can happily get lost in. I hope we get Red’s story and can’t wait to read Sal’s.

Could have been so much better - read on KU
The story between Tiago and Ferris was a let down. I was looking forward to seeing them get together. There were several things I expected from the book that didn't happen. And one of those was a carryover from a promise made in the previous book. They had told Noctis the band would hire him as a social media manager if they decided to do their flirting with each other to get more publicity thing. And even though it doesn't have anything to do with this book, Noctis has said he would quit his data entry job when his following for big enough in YouTube. After thst happened in the last book, nothing was said about him quitting his other job. And he isn't made social media manager.
I expected their YouTube flirting thing to be a bigger part of the story. And for the whole band to be there for some of it. It seems like the blurb suggested they did it on stage, but that didn't happen. Of course, they aren't on tour, so it makes sense they weren't on stage.
After reading the previous 2 books, I don't know why I didn't expect Ferris to give in at the beginning. But I expected part of the book to be Ferris still fighting what he was feeling. That would have been a great build up. Anticipation and building sexual tension is something this whole series is missing. Even in the books where one of the two men was straight, the first time they're together they go really far, if not all the way. That doesn't seem likely and it doesn't make for the best or most realistic story. Even Levi and Noctis didn't go all the way the first time.
All of these books are seriously lacking in the epilogue department. I understand not wanting to give away anything from the next book, but it seems odd that not even Iason and Orion are engaged by the end of this book. If the couple falls in love in 3 days, you expect a quick marriage.
I also don't get these guys living in apartments that aren't even penthouses. That was especially true in the 2nd book. It seems unlikely the drummer for an Uber famous rock band would be living in an apartment a data entry clerk could afford. It seems like they would value their privacy more than that. Levi says he doesn't get recognized often, but I have a hard time believing that. Sure, Iason would be recognized far more often, but if they're famous enough to have fanfics written about them, then people know what they look like.
There is also a plot hole in it is never stated Tiago, Sal, and Ferris were moving to Sunnydale (or is it Sunnyside?) too. In book 1, Levi says he's going to move back if Iason does, but, unless I missed it, it's never stated the other guys moved. That would have only taken one sentence.
The humor in these books is what makes me want to read more. Without the humor, they would probably be below average. The loveable characters and the set of friends help, too. The storylines, however, are subpar. Their plots are too simple. I love that there is no angst. However, the books all need something to make them feel more like HEAs and not HFNs other than saying they want to be together forever. The only thing in any of the books that leans that way is Orion moving in with Iason. I could also do with some normal names. The reasoning behind Iason's name was funny. I was expecting Ferris's parents to have been big fans of the movie Ferris Bueller's day off, but no.
Obviously, you can see for yourself what the book covers look like, but I only found the guy on the first one hot. The guy on book 2's cover doesn't look like the description of either Levi or Noctis. He certainly doesn't have a "godlike" appearance as Noctis claimed he did. I don't need shirtless guys on covers, but these covers look low budget and don't do justice to the books.
This book and the previous one have elements of men wearing women's clothing. That's something I could do without. I can't imagine many women readers will enjoy those aspects. I wonder what percentage of the people reading these books are women and what percentage are gay men.
I will come back and read Sal's book when it's released, and I'm going to check out the series with the actors mentioned in this series. But, if those books are more the same, I won't read the rest of her works other than one here and there.

3.75 stars…
And it literally kills me to say it. Like, I feel sick right now, but I can’t lie.
I’m not sure what happened, but book three was.. uhh… pretty much not it.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Tiago and Ferris. I really, REALLY did. BUT! There are some things that just weren’t a vibe and kind-of almost killed this one for me.
Like, to start, the editor was having a bad day. Or week. One of those things. And it detracted from the story in the sense that I had to keep rereading certain parts to make them make sense, and a couple of times there were things that didn’t match up from one page to another. Continuity errors KILL ME. I desperately wanted to edit half of the time I was reading, and that wasn’t conducive to enjoying the story. Then, I noticed how SHORT their story was, especially compared to book one. It felt more like a novella with a bonus scene attached than a book. I feel like with as much build up as their relationship got, they deserved MORE. More time, more detail, more experiences. I lacked the depth that I fell in love with during book one, and the loss of that was palpable in this installment. Also, family interaction is also something I feel like should’ve been (even briefly) present in book two and this one. I love seeing supportive and loving families rally behind MCs.
There was a lot to love in here, though, and I don’t want to take away from that because of editing misses and page counts. I adore how in tune they are with each other, Ferris being Ferris aside. I love how much Tiago adores Ferris, and how the author used Ferris to open up a line of communication that shed light onto the parts of sexual exploration that don’t get talked about. It’s refreshing to see a story where not everything is instant gratification and perfection. I also relate so much to Tiago and his string of bad luck with firsts (heavens only know how my first girlfriend doesn’t still try and tease me to this day, because she has more than enough reasons.) I love the support that the guys got, even when they were still just pining/in denial. I *do* hate that ALL of the guys seem to have to hide their relationships, but I get it. I’m not famous, but I know some people who have to try and keep their lives private, and the struggle is intense. I feel bad that our society pushes that onto people who just want to exist, but I can’t change it by myself. I love that this book was still no-angst, all sunshine and happiness and love, just like the others. It is still so refreshing to read a book that doesn’t lean on making people suffer, even a little bit, to find love and contentment.
All of that being said, while I had to point out that the editing, length, and sometimes lack of detail and depth wasn’t it, I still wholeheartedly recommend this book and the series, and cannot wait for book four! I just KNOW Sal is going to get one hell of a HEA!

I'm not sure why, with Ariella's track record and promise of low to no angst, but I really excepted more angst or more push back. Or at least nothing to happen for several chapters. So glad I was wrong. On all accounts. Honestly. This book could have been half as long, because they were so in love and happy and they just transitioned perfectly from best friends to boyfriends. Perfect. Utter perfection.

Once again, Ariella Zoelle has delivered a low (no) angst love story with a decent level of spice and enough sugary sweetness that I think I need to schedule a dentist appointment.
Ferris and Thiago are band members and best friends. And well, Thiago has had a crush on Ferris since the day he met him. Problem is that Ferris is straight. Ferris knows all about Thiago's crush, and sometimes, he imagines what it'd be like to just say yes. The problem is: we don't get enough time sitting in that scenario. There isn't enough development on Ferris's part for his yes - as it comes almost right out of the gate.
Now, I have not read the other Harmony of Hearts books, so there could be two other books of build up, showing Ferris changing his tune over the course of those books that I'm just missing. So I'm not really counting too many points against that. I just personally would've liked to see more of it from Ferris's POV in this book.
That said, we did get a lot of Ferris's POV on his concerns about various sexual things. He didn't make the jump from curious about his best friend to delivering porn star level sex acts in a single session, which I loved. I also loved the communication between Thiago and Ferris. Mainly that they HAD communication.
I think the only thing that did mark off a star for me was the fact that we never got to see them go public. While not required, a large part of this book was them doing Fan Service. They even wonder how their fans will react when it comes out that they're actually together. I would've loved some pay off to that in this book - even if it were just in the epilogue.
This is a good quick read, low angst, high spice. Its a great bisexual awakening friends to lovers. I think I would've enjoyed it a bit more, however, had I read the other books in the series.

Change His Tune is the 3rd book in the Harmony of Hearts series and takes place in the Sunnyside Universe. Ferris and Tiago have been best friends for 10 years and Tiago has loved Ferris for just as long. While Tiago identifies as demisexual and gay, Ferris identifies as straight and insists that he does not see Tiago in a romantic way. When Ferris agrees to Tiago’s suggestion that they fake flirt on their socials to give hope to the fangirls that ship them, he doesn’t expect for Tiago’s decade of flirting to finally break down the walls he’s built around his feelings for his best friend. Can Ferris give in to his not-so-straight feelings for his best friend? When Ferris steps up his flirting, does Tiago dare to hope that his best friend isn’t as straight as he once claimed to be?
Having spent the better part of a decade flirting with and teasing his best friend, demisexual Tiago wants the chance to show Ferris how much he loves him for real. He’s had meaningless hookups, but they serve only to scratch the itch temporarily, but for Tiago, Ferris is who he has always and will always want. They have an incredible bond as friends and bandmates, but can Tiago convince Ferris that they could have a deeper and romantic bond, too? Tiago and Ferris give us an HEA, as all of Ariella Zoelle’s books do, and the heat these besties bring just by flirting will have the readers shipping them long before the fireworks start.

Having spent the better part of a decade flirting with and teasing his best friend, demisexual Tiago wants the chance to show Ferris how much he loves him for real. He’s had meaningless hookups, but they serve only to scratch the itch temporarily, but for Tiago, Ferris is who he has always and will always want. They have an incredible bond as friends and bandmates, but can Tiago convince Ferris that they could have a deeper and romantic bond, too? Tiago and Ferris give us an HEA, as all of Ariella Zoelle’s books do, and the heat these besties bring just by flirting will have the readers shipping them long before the fireworks start.

Change His Tune by Ariella Zoelle is the 3rd Book in her Harmony of Hearts Series. You may want to read the other 2 books first as this one contains characters from those stories. This book is the love story of Tiago and Ferris. They are both in Iason Leyland’s band and tour with him. They have been friends for 10 years and Tiago has fallen hopelessly in love with Ferris but fears it will never be reciprocated because Ferris is straight. That doesn’t stop him from constantly teasing him and trying to get his attention in interesting ways. Ferris has always been able to fend him off but lately his feelings have been growing for Tiago and they finally come to a head when Tiago comes to him with the idea of filming them giving crazy pick up lines to each other to entice their fans into wondering if they are together. Something happens that leads them into the bedroom and Ferris is finally able to admit he wants Tiago and it doesn’t take long for them to admit their love for each other. The story continues as Ferris learns what it is like to fully be with a man and as they tell the other band members who help them through it all, with a lot of hijinks and laughter. I enjoyed this story but there is no angst involved in it. Both main characters finally admit their love and show how it grows from there with nothing getting in their way. There are some funny moments and a lot of witty byplay and also some information about the character who will be featured in the next book in the series. I would recommend this story to people who enjoy very low angst stories about men who come to love each other over time.

I really struggle with the Harmony of Hearts series, so far none of the books really got me compared to the previous Sunnyside series.
On paper Ferris and Tiago are a typical friends-to-lovers story. It's also a typical low (no) angst, overly sugary cuteness the author is known for and I normally like to escape with.
But - like the previous two books it felt like the world descripe feels utterly foreign to me. These guys are members of a sucessful band. There is no manager, no PA, no music label. If they go out there are no fans coming up. They seem to live in normal apartments, one seem to have a roommate who is a tribute artist for another band.
The characters and the set-up is just so utterly ridiculous described, I am really lost here.
So, to Ferris and Tiago. The good news - I like them. Yes Tiago can be over the top but he is a sweetheart. I like how the author describes Ferris' issues with the physical side of the relationship, too often it feels like straight-to-gay is just hitten a button and they know it all. It's a slow burn but it fits.
The negative - There is hardly any interaction outside the band and Ias and Levi's partners. Don't they have families? Nothing about their past is mentioned, especially not how Ferris' family would react to his new partner.
While there is a lot of talk about characters from previous books, it's all on paper, no meet, no calls. they are described as friends but you don't see their side. I love the crossover from the Suite Dream books or Bad Good Idea ones.
The author is missing it big here.

Change His Tune by Ariella Zoelle is Tiago and Ferris' story and the 3rd book in the Harmony of Hearts series.
Tiago has been actively pursuing his straight best friend and bandmate Ferris for the past ten years. While making videos together to tease their fans that there may be more between them, Ferris cracks and can no longer resist Tiago.
Tiago and Ferris are on fire both with their banter and their chemistry. I enjoyed getting to see the other bandmates and their boyfriends and the book as a whole but I had higher hopes for Tiago and Ferris after the teasing in the previous books. I am looking forward to Sal's book next.
4 Maple Leafs for Change His Tune which contains... mm, musicians, best friends-to-lovers, bandmates-to-lovers, bi-awakening, dual first-person pov.

This is book three of the harmony of hearts series and it’s adorable. Tiago and Ferris are so cute and their relationship buildup has been teasing us for the previous two books so getting to see them finally together is wonderful. Are some of Tiago’s lines super cheesy? Absolutely. This is however that blend of spicy and sweet with absolutely no angst that we all love from Arielle Zoelle and sometimes that is exactly what you need. The two guys interacting with the rest of the bad is cute, but I cracked up over them reading fan fic of themselves (and the other band mates!), especially when it led to them getting a bit uh, distracted, and having to pause the recording to take the edge off.
We learn more about these two men, get more cute interaction between band mates, including a super sweet scene between Sal and Tiago that just furthers the idea that those two are the cutest brothers. I can’t wait for Sal’s book and I really enjoyed this one.
If you like best friends to lovers, bi awakening, laughter over fan fics, celebrities that are super cool guys, demisexual not meaning low sex drive, absolutely no angst, a mc that has a disaster every time he tries something new but doesn’t let it stop him, and Tiago being surprisingly hot as a girl you should check this one out for sure.
I was given a free copy of this book but this is an honest review.

The first two stories in this series were all about the insta-love (and the copious amounts of hot sex) but with Tiago and Ferris having been friends for years this one is different. Because of the build-up in previous stories, we pretty much dive right into the change from friends to lovers (so kinda keeping with that whole insta thing) and Ferris coming to grips with what that means. He’s spent a lot of time thinking he’s straight, laughing off Tiago’s comments and avoiding those niggling feelings that arise, so when he finally realizes that he could be bi there’s a bit of adjusting to do.
Tiago has been in love with his best friend for so very long, waiting and hoping that he’d feel the same. So it’s quite a surprise when Ferris finally admits that there is something there, but he’s patient and considerate, letting Ferris take his time to learn what he’s comfortable with. There’s plenty of sexy time but also a lot of humor and touching moments as the two of them figure out their new relationship.
Change His Tune is a slow-burn, low angst read but it’s very satisfying to be there as these two finally get a chance to find a HEA.
(Part of a series, can be read as a stand-alone but would be best enjoyed having read the rest of the series.)

The cover of this book is enough to draw me in, plus the title is spot-on. And, if the story is about best friends becoming lovers? Then, I'm all in. Add to that Ariella Zoelle working her magic of delivering sweet characters that don't have to work too hard to completely fall in love, then I'm 100% sold!
I enjoyed watching Ferris discover another side of himself learning to be Tiago's boyfriend. There are lots of sexy times to test out the waters and Tiago is a sweet and patient teacher. The portions with the fanfic written about the band members is cleverly woven in. If you have read earlier Sunnyside books, you will see some appearances of previous characters lending advice and bringing their humor to the page. But, not to worry if you haven’t read any of the books in the series because Change His Tune will stand on its own.
Tiago and Ferris are a lovely couple that provide lots of laughs and swoony moments. I love so many of Ariella's couples, but this pair is high on my list! I would easily recommend Change His Tune to readers looking for a sweet friends to lovers trope between two rock band members with a bi-awakening for one changing his tune for his gay best friend. Delightful!

Tiago and Ferris are best friends and band mates. Tiago has had feelings for Ferris ever since they met, 10 years ago. The only issue is that Ferris is straight. Or so he thinks!
Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and this book was an absolute delight to read! After a long time thinking about it, Ferris finally gives into his feelings and decides to take a chance with Tiago. These two are pure fire together and I love that they get to know each other at a deeper level once they become a couple. Being in love with your best friend is one of the greatest gifts in life.
I love also their band dynamics. All the guys are pretty chill and supportive. Most of them are on steady relationships already so once Tiago and Ferris become an item their friends are thrilled! One of their friends even made a dictionary of cuss words, it’s genius!
I also love how free they felt about exploring their s*xuality. They did everything they wanted and it was pretty cool! Even we got some Drag action. This is book 3 in a series and I already added the first two installments to my TBR. I cannot wait for book 4! It’s going to be amazing as well!

“Giddy up, Sparkle Fãrts, there’s chaos to spread”
Book 3 of the Harmony Of Hearts series continues with the story of Tiago and Ferris. We've been watching these two, waiting for them to finally get together; there's over the top flirtation from Tiago and easy camaraderie between these longtime friends. This story did not disappoint.
Ferris (AKA cookie), straight or maybe not so straight
Tiago (AKA Santiago, doodle, Tia) gay (demi)
These two have been best friends and band mates for 10 years. Tiago has been in love with Ferris since the beginning. You need to read this to see what happens next.
The fanfic stories are so fun and of course bringing in Noctis' and his f*ckabulary was awesome. Seeing and/or hearing about all our Sunnyside friends make Ariella's stories come to life. I don't know how she keeps them all straight.
I'm hoping that with the next book in the series, Music To His Ears, both Sal and Red get their HEAs... If Red doesn't get one this time, Ariella better get busy and write us one. Lol
Friends to lovers, pining, bi-awakening, brings the heat

This was my first ever read by Ariella Zoelle and I was pleasantly surprised!
The story follows Tiago and Ferris, two members of the same band. Tiago, gay, has been in love with Ferris for ten years and uses every opportunity to banter with Ferris, who is straight, in the form of sexual inuendo's to have Ferris shoot him down. All is done in good nature, but for Tiago it is with a bit of a serious undertone.
When Tiago suggests to do some video work for their fan site by reading some of the stories their fans wrote, Ferris reluctantly agrees. What starts of as a laugh soon becomes more serious and leads to a kiss started by Ferris. Turns out he's not as straight as he thought!!
This was actually a very sweet story, there was no drama, the other bandmembers were really cool about them being together. They were thrilled in fact that it finally happened since they all new they belonged together.
As said, I haven't read the other books in the series but I'll definitely remedy that.

Such a great best friends to lovers romance. I felt for Ferris with his turmoil over his attraction to his best friend, Tiago. Tiago has been a constant flirt with him for the past ten years and pretty much everyone else can see what the two share but it's only when they start on Tiago's new plan of recording videos of them reading fan fiction that things start moving. Once that happens, all bets are off.
This story is light-hearted fun with a great balance between sweet and hot. It's a no angst story with a pretty seamless move between relationship status. Their readings of fan fics are highly entertaining as is the banter they continue to have, they're still best friends after all.
I love how Noctis and Orion are involved in the story along with the friendships with their band mates, Iason, Levi and Sal. They're all one big found family. I'm looking forward to Sal's story and how his perfect match will come along.
A great addition to the series, highly recommended to fans of the trope and for an easy, no angst romance.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

Tiago has always been in love with Ferris but Ferris is straight but that has never stopped him from some friendly flirting. Now Tiago has come up with a master plan to boost their bromance with some videos of them flirting but now Ferris is ready for their fake flirtations with his best friend maybe become real.
Tiago and Ferris have a great friendship and I like the chemistry between them, Tiago is all for them to be more that friends but never imagine that he could have him, Ferris is tired of rejecting his friend advance but can he be honest with his feelings for him and finally get in. I enjoy watching them together and discover that they are meant to be. I like Tiago and Ferris so much and I have to say that they are so sweet and funny, the chemistry is of the charts!!!! Looking forward to the next book!

I am loving this series! Tiago and Ferris are so perfect together, an excellent sweet and steamy best friends to lovers romance. Ariella Zoelle is a go to when I’m craving super low angst romance that is full of charm and humor. Tiago is such a wonderful character, so funny and mischievous. Ferris is a great match for him and together they have amazing chemistry - and uniquely romantic. One of my favorite highlights of the book was how Orion steps up to help Ferris adjust to the newness of being with Tiago. This was quite lovely and well done. Plus, I was thrilled to see more from Noctis who is such a hilarious and unique character. Highly recommend, fun couple, wonderfully quirky side characters, and excellent writing. Loved it 🥰

Recommend to read the previous books to know the all their characters in the story and how they fit in.
A great start for a straight to bi-awakening relationship for Ferris and Tiago.
Tiago and Ferris where best freinds and band mates the only thing Tiago was in love with him for years.
Coming up with an idea in the hopes they get closer. A good start as Tiago puts his plan into action, someone really needs to tell Tiago would fail at the one liners. I loved the emotions that they both felt in the start. Ferris has a lot of assumptions that are wrong but they quickly get the sorted out. A smooth fast romence for these guys.
Lots of firsts for Ferris to experience with Tiago before they get to their HEA ending.
Told with dual pov's in first person. Demisexual character included with sexy scenes. I loved this authors writing in the story as I felt their emotions.

By now we know to expect low-angst high-heat stories from this lovely author. In the case of Change His Tune, this is very much in evidence. Tiago and Ferris have been well established in the earlier books of the series. Their sexual tension has already been suffered, this book is for answering the question, "what will happen when Ferris finally realizes what he really wants." And that makes this book our reward, for waiting along with the MC's. This book reads like a slice of life - and it's the good part! The part where they joyfully realize what they have in each other, and proceed with enjoying the heck out of it. So there is less going on than in previous installments, but that worked fine for me. I enjoyed reading about these two finally enjoying each other. And we do get to know Sal a bit more in anticipation of book 4 as well. Enjoy!

I read both books that came before this in this series- the last one, "Make Music Together," I particularly loved, so I was eager to get my hands on this one. I love straight-to-gay/bi-awakening romance and I loved the premise of this one and how it was handled. I loved the relationship between Tiago and Ferris. They have been best friends for years and Tiago flirts with him because he has feelings for him, though Ferris is straight and always turns him down. But over time, Ferris' feelings for Tiago have changed. How can he tell him after turning him down for so long? When Tiago comes up with an idea to excite their fangirls by pretending they might be more than friends and in a relationship, Ferris agrees, surprising Tiago. This was a very fun, steamy read and a beautiful romance! I couldn't put it down! 5 stars.

Firstly let me say I got this book from Gay romance reviews and this is me leaving my honest review.
Wow what a fantastic read that had me smiling throughout. This is the 3rd book in the series and this series is just fabulous!
So we have Ferris who is straight but can’t help the way his body and heart react to the flirting from his best friend and band member Tiago. Tiago is gay and proud. He has been in love with Ferris for years and flirts as much as possible but when they make some videos to tease their fans about their relationship it gets too much for Ferris and he opens up to Tiago and admits he wants him.
This is a fantastic book about two men exploring their feelings and sexuality. It is pure lush and I couldn’t put it down. Even now I’m smiling writing this review. Pure bliss. Bring on the next book!

Excellent series, Tiago and Ferris are a hoot! Tiago and Ferris are best friends. They've been in the same band for the last 10 years and Tiago has crushed on Ferris every day. Tiago, is out and proud. Part of their schtick is to harmlessly flirt with each other. Everyone else think they are a couple, they go so well together. Over time, Ferris' feelings have changed toward T, grown more romantic. Tiago, feels that Ferris, is his 'one'. He wonders what life would be like if Ferris wasn't straight. The fun of the story is watching Ferris try to express his new observations with words instead of the non-verbal's. This is a fun romp with friends and found family stepping up to new relationships. Tiago and Ferris are nice, fun, funny guys and it's great seeing the guys from previous stories. Good flow, excellent characters. Well done! I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

His dream will finally come true!
This book rocks! The third in the Harmony of Hearts series and it’s Tiago and Ferris’s turn. The best of friends, Tiago yearns for more. The two will finally give in to the chemistry between them when Ferris can no longer fight the feelings he’s having for his best friend. It will turn out to be his best decision ever! I love the way their relationship develops and the fact that while they are now dating, their relationship remains as playful as it was when they were just friends. I love the glimpse of Tiago’s serious side when he gives another friend advice. This book is absolutely amazing and a definite must read! I can’t wait to see what comes next!

What an absolutely delightful book. It had me from page one to the end, but would say to get the full impact read the other books first. This couple, Tiago and Ferris, might be the best written couple I have read in a while. best friends, Band mates with Tiago falling hard for his straight friend Ferris. A great book of self discovery (Ferris), a great book of friends to lovers, and a great book in which everyone can see these two are meant for one another but they cannot (or refuse) to admit it. But soon a fake plan to make fans of the band go wild, brings them together and opens their eyes to a possible relationship (this is when they book got so good). It is cuire, sweet, low angst love story. I did receive an ARC and leave this honest review.

This is turning into one of my favorite series. Fake boyfriends, sort of, with a bit of a twist. There’s music and snark, the list goes on.
I love Tiago. He’s the life of the party in their little circle, absolutely irrepressible. I even love that his name is Santiago and the way it’s shortened. He says exactly what he wants but jokes enough to hide that a lot of it’s real.
Ferris, on the other hand, is much more repressed. And straight. He’s not sure exactly how Tiago talked him into his little tease scheme. He knows Tiago wants more, but he’s straight, right?
Fun stuff. Almost no angst, just a bunch of friends that don’t bat an eye at whatever those two get into. What could be better?

This book will have you smiling and cheering on the sidelines for Tiago to finally get his chance with his bestie and long-term crush, Ferris. Tiago has always been the one to blatantly flirt with his straight best friend and is ALWAYS shot down with a big, fat "NO". When an opportunity arises which gives Ferris the chance to actually say "YES", Tiago takes full advantage of the situation. These two are so cute together! Their chemistry is so hot and they are just perfect for each other. I loved the character cameos from previous books and the way the next book was set up. If you haven't started this series yet, do yourself a favor and BUY THEM ALL!
