Blurb
After suffering a traumatic childhood, Griffin is given a fresh start with foster parents who help him discover what it’s like to be loved, wanted, and protected.
Quincy has lived a comfortable life with his grandparents and the constantly changing faces of their foster children. Kids come and go and Quincy knows staying friendly yet unattached is best. But when scrawny, scared Griffin moves in, Quincy’s world is turned upside-down.
Griffin and Quincy have a shaky start, but soon they bond as best friends and eventually brothers. The hormone-filled teen years reveal an unanticipated attraction between the two.
Now in college, Griffin and Quincy set out to determine if the sexual tension brewing between them since high school is worth jeopardizing their nearly decade-long friendship. Will they lose everything they’ve found in each other, or will they seize the opportunity to turn their friendship into something even better?
Forever Better Together is an opposites attract, friends-to-lovers story, but it’s slightly more complicated than that.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
From the start, I love Forever Better Together, an AD Ellis romance between two step brothers.
Griffin was taken into Quincy's life as a foster brother. A couple years later, the two best friends become "brothers" when Griffin's adopted by Qunicy's guardians, his grandparents. Oh man, I love books like this.
Griffin and Quincy are the best of friends. They're supportive of one another, and I enjoy the sweetness of their relationship. But going from friends to lovers is never an easy step.
Of course, there is more to their story than just a happy go lucky romance. Griffin's struggles with things in his past. His birth parents and his experiences in foster care, have left lasting effects on him. This part is emotional and touching. In addition, both men struggle with fears and self doubts.
Please note that although they are technically related, there is never any angst about this. I actually really appreciate this, as the clearly are strongly connected and everyone acknowledges that they're not blood relatives.
And, omg, I absolutely love and adore Momma. You'll be hard pressed to find a better lady.
Forever Better Together is sweet and soothing; a total comfort read. Definitely check out this young adult gem by AD Ellis! Honestly, it's one of my favorite reads of the year.
Thank you so very much!!
