Angus has been with the same guy for ten years. When his boyfriend breaks up with him the night of his thirtieth birthday party and announces his engagement to a twenty-two-year-old less than ten hours later, Angus is… a mess. To put it lightly. He spends days in bed, drinks himself into a stupor every night, and ends up losing his job and his apartment. His best and oldest friend, Reece, decides it’s time for an intervention. And a change of scenery.

Reece and Angus take off on a buddy trip across the US. They don’t have much of a plan; they just start driving. It takes Angus a couple of days to do much more than grunt when Reece talks to him, but slowly he opens up. They drive, talk, heal, shout, drink a bit too much sometimes, dance, meet new friends… and somewhere between Portland, Oregon, and Portland, Maine, they fall in love.

Which was the last thing in the world Angus expected.

My Rating - 3.5   Stars!

Open Road is a slow burn friends to lover romance by MJ O'Shea.

This is a story that starts with a bad breakup for Angus. With a road trip to help his friend heal, Reece sets them on a new course for life. 

The road trip changes both of them. They find healing, and they also find love with one another. 

There's a lot going on for these two. Angus's ex did his best to keep them apart. And damn it, that pisses me off. I know it happens, but I wanted to slap Angus for letting it happen. 

In the end Open Road is a sweet and tender romance. This MJ O'Shea is a feel good friends to lover, hurt/comfort tale.
