Meet Cedric Fong in this m/m romance... I don’t need a date. I need to focus on finding a new apartment and finally writing another novel. But as the last single Fong brother, I’m expected to participate in a bachelor auction to benefit my family’s charity. When there’s a frenzied bidding war, Brian Poon, my younger brother’s ex-best friend, puts an end to the chaos by bidding an eyewatering amount for a Valentine’s date with me. Brian used to be a notorious partier, but his life isn’t as wild now that his father has cut him off. We have a good time eating and drinking together, and when he finds out about my apartment situation, he offers me his spare room. Once I move in, Brian surprises me by baking me cookies and making it his mission to get me writing again. Soon, I’m working on a new book and getting closer to my roommate, a man who has never had a relationship and is all about casual sex—the opposite of me. He also used to be in love with my brother. I wonder if he still is…

Cedric's younger brother's ex-best friend wins a date with him at a bachelor auction. They move from friendship, to roommates (with Brian making Cedric breakfast every morning and supporting him in his book writing ambitions), to more than roommates.
It's a slow burn, because Cedric needs to feel love and trust before he feels lust, which makes it all the more delicious. Cedric's writing ambitions also have a lovely turn in this book, with the help of his grandmother.
Reading this is a good way to spend a weekend.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
