Red is a mechanic with a good set of friends at work. He is gay and has been in love with best friend for over 25 years and they have been friends even longer. He is loving, loyal, protective, and self-sacrificing. 

Journey has been a wandering man building a career blogging, writing, and traveling. But now he is suddenly home and has inherited his uncle's farm. And Red is right there with him ready to help. 

But as they begin sharing close quarters, Journey starts to have some confusing thoughts and feelings about his best friend. He has always thought he was straight and not all that interested. But Red is starting to challenge all he knows about himself without even trying. And Red is not sure what the he heck has gotten into his best friend. 

Will Red finally get what he has been dreaming of most of his life or is this just a temporary experiment for Journey? Can their friendship withstand all the changes? And can a mechanic and a travel blogger really run a farm? 

This is a low angst, forced proximity best-friends-to-lovers, bi-demi awakening story with two lifelong friends exploring new life directions and new feelings together. I felt their strong connection from the start and it is a basis for their changing relationship. I loved that they respected each other, had each other's backs,  and actually communicated. And once released, the chemistry between them is fire!

Many of the Four Bears crew and Big Bull guys are around to give advice, stir the pot, and attend parties full of shenanigans. And this book is mostly just full of fun and feelings and not much drama. The animals have their own strong personalities as well and I found myself smiling at all of the antics.
