This book was previously published by JMS books as two separate novellas. Since then, the author received the rights back, re-edited and made some changes. Both stories are included in this edition.
Partners in the LAPD and best friends in their off time, Nicco and Rider are extremely close. That's why Nicco's shocked when he sees Rider kissing another man when he'd always been under the impression Rider was straight. The feelings of intense jealousy Nicco experiences in that moment are even more confusing to the tough New Yorker, and he can't keep himself from confronting Rider about what he saw. What he realizes about himself turns his world upside down.

    Loved it! This was right up my alley, police detectives with that firm partnership that is so close they get teased about being a romantic couple.
    Dark, good looking, intense Nicco, who romances all the honeys, and Rider, educated, sexy, and totally in to Nicco for a long time now. Rider knows that he is bi, but hasn’t been with a man since college. He has never mentioned this to Nicco, who sees Rider dating women.
    Rider even consented to a MFM three way to get closer to Nicco in a bed, but nothing came of it. Until Nicco gets a male house guest who subtly hits on Rider, Nicco notices and is jealous, surprised that he has intense feelings like these about Rider.
    Nicco sees the guest and Rider kissing and goes up in flames of shock that Rider kissed back the way he would with a woman. Nicco confronts Rider for keeping his bisexuality a secret for so long and Rider confesses that he didn’t want his desire for Nicco to ruin their beautiful friendship. Nicco kisses Rider and it’s a no holds barred passion for the rest of the book, EXCEPT, Nicco is afraid to come out at work or with his family, everywhere but behind closed doors. Plus, he and Rider don’t get much time together because of a big case and there is a Thanksgiving trip to Nicco’s traditional Italian family and strict, retired cop dad. The young, hottie houseguest shows up at the Thanksgiving table and Nicco goes ballistic inside. These were some great scenes!
    The course of their true love still has some humps and bumps, but the author keeps their love going, even when it’s breaking down.
    I liked these two fire hotties! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about their love affair. There is a wonderful ending.
    For me, this is the best kind of MM romance. The cover is very hot, too.
    The author promises a story is available at their website about Rider and Nicco, but it’s not there.
    I liked this book enough that I am going to email the author.

    I guess this was an early effort from the author. Some of the choices for narrative and dialogue didn’t suit me. It was written well enough to read through to the end.

  • Itzel

    This was Only 80 pages but the story made it feel longer. Not necessarily in a bad way though.It was a great story, and the transition from friends to lovers was so... Easy? Obviously it's the aftermath of it where the complications began. Cute story though. I did enjoy it.

    This was so much fun!

    Rider and Nicco were already awesome together after years of being best friends and partners on the job, but they because amazing once they added sex into the mix. I loved their complicity and the way their connection turned into a romantic one. Not an easy transition, but entertaining to read through. Jealousy, insecurities and fears were mixed up with banter, affection and moments of steamy chemistry.

    I'm only sorry the book was so short, I couldn't get enough of these two men together.

  • AL♡

    Partners & Lovers is an easy to read short story about bestfriends & work partners Nicco and Rider.
    Nicco is shocked when he sees Rider, his straight best friend, locking lips with a guy. Suddenly, he begins to have all these feelings, he shouldn't..
    Partners & Lovers is a bi-awakending, bestfriends to lovers novella.
    There is low angst, as Nicco comes to terms with his sexuality and the effects it will have on his relationship with his family.
    If you looking for an enjoyable, short read, you can't go wrong with this book.
