Without warning, Claude’s life is changed forever when his father, brother, and close friend are all shot and killed – and his mother and another friend commit suicide. Were it not for the undying love and support of Kelly, his best friend from childhood, Claude may not have made it through the devastating tragedy intact. Consequently, as time goes on, the bond between Claude and Kelly grows and deepens, eventually transforming into something neither of them ever before imagined: genuine romance. However, when unforeseen challenges soon darken the horizon, can the new lovers maintain their burgeoning passion without losing their lifelong friendship in the process...?
Throughout the pages of Friends 2 Lovers, author Jonathan Anthony Burkett explores the depths of what makes for true, lasting friendship. In Claude and Kelly, Burkett has crafted highly relatable characters whose everyday trials and tribulations readers are sure to find more than familiar. Flawed though they may be, the lifelong friends’ virtues far outweigh their shortcomings, and Burkett does a commendable job of highlighting just how important it is to learn to transcend the petty differences that divide us in favor of our shared common humanity. The road of life is rife with cumbersome obstacles, but if we trust ourselves within the open, supportive arms of our loved ones, we may be surprised to learn just how much easier the journey can often be.
Engaging, heartrending, and deeply emotional, Friends 2 Lovers is a touching tale of learning to give – and receive – real, lasting love. A recommended read.
