I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco. The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family.
All his life Eric Sontag has judged himself on his size, believing love and friendship aren't in the cards for someone like him. Tired of being alone and scared of his doctor’s warnings, he enrolls in a nutrition support group, determined to change his life. When a beautiful thin man sits next to him, he can’t believe they have anything in common, but conversation between the two soon proves first impressions aren’t always what they seem.
Hockey player Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart, and succeed in the NHL. But on the first day he's called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides, first by the team's coach - who has a long simmering grudge - and then by the Bruisers' sexy, icy publicist - his former girlfriend, Georgia Worthington. Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do - and saying hello again isn't much easier.

Book 10 in the More Than Friends series. Can be heard as a standalone but references to book three, Choosing Happy, are made. Consider listening to Choosing Happy first for maximum enjoyment.
In this book we meet Steve and Joey again from Choosing Happy. So glad Aria came back to this couple. Lovely story of Joey and Steve's nurturing side saving Adam and bringing him into their relationship.
As usual Michael Ferraiuolo's narration is perfection.

Aria Grace's novels never ceases to amaze and enamore me. She is famous for addressing tough issues and she does so in such a beautiful and tender way.
I don't want to give too much of the story away. In this novel she tackles drug addiction and overdose of a friend, she tackles suicide ideation and suicide in general. She also addresses polyamory.
In Choosing Happy: More than Just Friends #3, we are introduced to Steve and Joey. In this book, Choosing Us: More Than Just Friends, we continue with Steve and Joey with the inclusion of Adam as a new member of their family. Together, they form a beautiful polyamorous relationship.
With all the talk over "polygamous marriages" that were discussed during the lead up to marriage equality, maybe one day plural marriages will become acceptable. It may not be for everyone but all marriages deserve equal protection under the law. it is not for any of us to judge the type of relationships that people enter into. All relationships between consenting adults deserve respect and spousal protections under the law.
The More than Friends series continues when we follow their friend Alex out to Denver where the Mile High Romances continue. I sincerely believe and hope that one day a producer will take notice of these novels. The characters are so well developed and they would make an amazing television serial drama.

I enjoyed this! I’m not really a fan of MMM, but the emotions engendered were so tender that I overlooked it.
Ok, so it opens with Steve and Joey and they are lovely together. They had great chemistry, and their relationship worked. Steve I disliked from Book 2! Absolutely disliked! But I found myself moving away from disliking him to genuinely caring about him. I loved how he cared for Joey.
Then Adam is introduced, and we see that his life is a mess. He’s broke and homeless, and soon Joey realizes this and invites him to live with himself and Steve. Eventually, Adam works for Steve and they get to understand each other better.
Steve is aware of the feelings Joey had for Adam (a guy he worked alongside at Paddles) and was never threatened by those feelings. Matter of fact, he encouraged them. Soon, Steve also begun to care for Adam and the feelings developed and deepened among them.
Their love became complete. Their chemistry – wonderful. Sweet! ☺
*I was given this audiobook for an honest review*.

I liked the narrator and Steve & Joey's previous story (Choosing Happy, #3). But the transition to include Adam didn't quite work for me. Maybe the story was too short or the character development relied on melodramatic events. But it was ok overall and I would recommend this if you liked others in this series.
I think book 10 end the More Than Friends series and I am so sad! I tried to stop and savor this one, but who was I kidding. I listened straight through.
We met Steve and Joey in Choosing Happy and this is a continuation of their story. And just when you think Aria couldn't possibly make these books hotter... In comes Adam. I was starting to get disappointed thinking that Steve and Joey would have to split to make room for Adam to be part of the story.
WRONG.
Hotness ensues.
Michael Ferraiuolo did a great job with narration although there was one moment toward the end that I felt he lost the characters. Other than that, I was able to make the distinction between characters from his voice and that is no easy job with 3 main male characters together talking often.
This won't be my last Aria Grace book. definitely worth a purchase!!
