Lean on Me is a steamy, standalone gay romance novel with a HEA and no cliffhangers.
REVIEW:
My Rating: 4 Stars
I am a big fan Friends to Lovers romances. Thus, I was excited to read Lean on Me.
Levi and Marcus were roommates back in college. Since then they have lost touch. But, when Marcus is dumped by his girlfriend, he asks Levi to join him for some camping. Unfortunately, things go wrong during the trip and Marcus is injured. During the resulting ordeal, Marcus discovers his feelings for Levi have changed.
Marcus has never considered kissing another man before, but there's just something about Levi now. Marcus knows everything with Levi is different because of their friendship.
Once they get out of the woods, things are still tough. Neither knows when they will even have time to talk about their kiss or to kiss again. Meanwhile, Marcus has to focus on getting well.
I enjoy the way in which their romance evolves. It just feels so natural. And as good friends, their shared history just makes everything seem so right.
One of my favorite scenes is when Marcus starts to realize how easy it is to talk to Levi. He just never realized that he never had that with his girlfriend. He admits that with his girlfriend, he had to try to impress her. It has always been much easier for him to be vulnerable with Lexi and talk to him about anything.

Lean on Me is a sweet romance. It is one that keeps you interested the whole time.
