Dirty Forty

Friendship and Desire, Book 1

By: Mia Monroe

Narrated by: Tim Paige, Liam DiCosimo

If I'm as straight as I always thought, why does kissing my best friend feel so right?

Zach has been my ride-or-die since we were nine. Business partners, roommates, best friends... we do everything together. But the last thing either of us expected was to be staring 40 in the face just as single as we both were when we made a silly, drunken marriage pact 20 years ago.

The problem?

Zach is gay...and, well, I’m not.

Under pressure from family, that pact comes rushing back, and I lock us into a fake engagement. But is it possible some part of me wants it to be real?

Convincing Zach I’m legit is another story. With each passing day, I wonder if my feelings of affection for my best friend can morph into the love I desperately want in my life. Something in Zach’s eyes tells me we can have it all if we just try.

It may have taken me a lifetime to see Zach with new eyes, but with every touch and discovery, it’s been worth the wait. On the edge of Dirty Forty, it’s time to go for it.

All I have to do is convince Zach it’s real.

Dirty Forty is a best-friends-to-lovers, marriage pact, demi/bisexual awakening featuring 30 years of pining, a fake engagement, curious kisses, and two guys finally embracing what’s always been in front of them.

Friends til the end

I love a good Friends to lovers romance and surely this one did Not disappoint!
The sweetness, the caring, the 'let's be sure' of everything as the story rolls along. Everyone is so excepting, as it should be in the real world but sadly is not. This story is perfect. Mia Monroe, you have a soft heart and a sensual way with words. I'm on the hunt for more of your work!
As always, Tim and Liam bring the characters to life in a way the listeners love. I wouldn't have picked better narrators to do this book.
