Friends to Lovers

A fun and deep story of enemies by association to best friends to lovers. Will and Andre's character development story lines are both moving and believable. Kirt Graves always satisfies as the voice of Lavender Shores.

Loving this series and Kirt Graves’ narration.

I’ve loved every story I’ve listened to so far. Really glad I found these.

Older characters who have lived some life but still don’t quite have it all figured out are very relatable. Traveling with them through some of their trials, and getting to see them finally find their HEAs is very satisfying.
