GRIFFIN

I always felt I wasn’t wired like my peers, but when my brother, Kellan, gave me three terms—ace, aromantic, and demi—I had possible names for it. Those three words have been on my mind ever since, as has my brother’s best friend, Josh Westbrook. It’s been cool getting to know him and spending time together, just us. He makes me feel something I never thought I’d be able to feel. When we end up alone in a cabin with only one bed, all my crossed wires finally connect and point toward being demi and wanting him.

JOSH

Griff and I were never supposed to be more than friends, but I like him more and more. I like being the reason he smiles, and…yeah, I enjoy making him writhe with pleasure too. But Griff doesn’t hook up casually, and I swore off love a long time ago. Still, we keep finding ourselves drawn together, a shared loneliness and a deep want guiding us. Kellan’s afraid I’ll hurt Griff. Frankly, I am too. My past is still an open wound that keeps me from getting too close.

One thing is becoming clear, though—my Grumpy Griff is making me break my own rules. He says he’s never known his place in the world, but I do. It’s with me. The only way for us to move forward is for me to stop looking back…before I lose sight of him for good.

My Rating - 5+ Stars!

Riley Hart's Griff's Place is freaking amazing! The fourth book in the Havenwood series, it adds immensely to this already must read series. It's a true beauty. 

A combo of brother's best friend, friends to lovers, and a slow burn sexual awakening, I love it all. 

If you enjoy demisexual characters finding love, you will love this book. The author develops Griff's sexual awakening is a wonderful manner; realistic, raw, and beautiful. 

And Josh, lovable Josh has been a man whore, keeping himself from falling for someone after some pain in his past. Josh's heart is still in the past, with his inability to open his heart making their journey a tough road. 

As always, Riley's writing is wonderful, with a soothing and pleasant tone, fabulous characters, and a deep and meaning storyline. Written in alternating first person pov, the men fully come alive, allowing the reader to know their every thought, look, and touch. 

Griff's Place is a stellar romance. Riley Hart has once again outdone herself with this amazing tale. Just read it!
