When we were just friends
A New Adult romance novel
Book 4 in the Italian Romance series
Marco has one goal: break up with his not-quite sugar daddy by the end of the day. He’s determined to end it as much as the older man is determined to keep him under his thumb.
Luís is having a bad day. They usually know better than to stick their nose into other people’s business but when they hear the man at the next table patronizing his young boyfriend, they just can’t let it go and get involved in the worst possible way.
The fact that the young man looks vaguely familiar is certainly a coincidence. And the attraction between them surely won’t lead to anything. They could be friends at best. Just friends.
But do “just friends” look at each other like that?
What readers said about
When we were just friends:
GEE – GOODREADS REVIEW
What I loved the most was their (Marco and Luís) love. The way they loved, cherished, and respected each other, the way they made it look easy, the way their feelings are so strong that you can almost borrow them and feel them a little yourself. It’s Elen’s depiction of love, I believe, that makes this series so special.
BROOKE – GOODREADS REVIEW
I LOVE how flawed Marco and Luís are! Somehow they just compliment each other and it works SO WELL! The romance is just swoony too! BUT THE DRAMA! Gah, I can’t say too much or I’ll spoil something!
I think my favorite things from this book are:
– Luís’s queerness
– the trauma and mental health
ROBIN – GOODREADS REVIEW
Author Elen Chase has done it again. This book
is perfect as a standalone, but if you crave a deeper experience, read
the whole series (of which this is book 4). You won’t regret it. This book is as much a love letter to love as it is a romance. For fans of love, everywhere.
