Wayward Son (My Best Friend's Brother #3) by Kay Simone







Blurb


“I’ve been halfway around the world, baby. But I had to come home to find out who I am--and who I need by my side.”
Life has never been as sweet for Reese and Otto as it is now--but the Blair family has never been so fractured.
With Cheshire changing around him every day, it’s all too easy for Otto to forget his commitments back in Texas--but good news is around the corner for once. His house in Fort Worth is as good as sold. His role at Sweetpetal Inn expands every day. Even his obstinate little brother is making some desperately-needed changes.
“But what are we going to do about Luke?”
After an ultimatum, Luke must re-examine his actions and his relationship to his foster brother, Reese. But with Luke’s volatile behavior, can anything truly fix the rift between Luke and his best friend this time?
***
Freed from some of his worries at last, Reese finds himself deeply in love with Otto, with his friends, with his life in Cheshire. He never thought he’d be able to find his best life simply by staying put in the town where he was born.
But in the back of his mind, one question looms large: will the Blair family ever feel like a family again?
Wayward Son is the third book in the three-book series, My Best Friend’s Brother. It has a happily-ever-after ending, but is NOT self-contained. Wayward Son contains frank discussions about drug use and recovery.




Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!

Wayward Son is a fantastic addition to Kay Simone's My Best Friend's Brother series. If you haven't already read Black Sheep and Golden Boy, do so now. 

In this third book in the series, Otto and Reese are dating, but are still hiding their relationship from Luke. Oh man, the issues with Luke are so damn realistic and well written. It's his reaction to them that spurs all the tension in this series. In the end, it's perfectly handled.

But it's Otto's addiction that really guts me. l love the honest and realistic way in which it's portrayed. Addiction never goes away, and Otto perfectly exemplifies this. I can't praise the way this is written enough. 

Otto's fear of letting people down has always lead his decisions, which is also heartbreaking. I just want to hug young Otto and tell him to stop worrying about everyone else. 

The entire My Best Friend's Brother series is superb. Kay Simone fills the pages with sweetness, love, romance, and the right amount of angst. I truly love this series that follows the same relationship throughout. Everything is wonderful; the men, the town, and the depth of this romance. The ending is superb, with these men having grown as individuals and as a couple.

Wayward Son is a beautiful continuation of Otto and Reese's love story. They are a perfect couple, who definitely belong together. I have absolutely fallen in love with and hate to see the series ending.
