About this listen
"What we have can’t be faked."
Max Jackson’s life is pretty close to perfect - except that he’s secretly in love with his straight best friend and roommate. He’s got his dream job and a family he secretly pretends are his own. But they aren’t...no matter how much he might wish it were true.
After the tragic death of his wife, Parker Wilson didn’t have time to wallow in grief - not when he had two young children to raise. He’s not looking for romance or a new partner. He doesn’t need one anyway...he has his life-long buddy Max to help him through every struggle.
When Parker loses his job and can’t afford his daughter’s pricey insulin, Max suggests fake marriage for insurance coverage. Since he’s already a second parent to Parker’s cute kids, it should be easy...until the marriage becomes a little too real.
Welcome to Hidden Creek, Texas, where the heart knows what it wants, and where true love lives happily ever after. Every Men of Hidden Creek novel can be enjoyed on its own, but keep an eye out for familiar faces around town! This audiobook contains dad jokes, a pair of kids that will steal your heart, and more heat than a Texas summer.

Best friends to lovers, sexual discovery, utter devotion and two adorable kids, sign me up!!
This was an adorable story of Parker and Max’s romance, Parker and Max have been best friends since they were eleven and Max ha been in love with Parker pretty much the same length of time. Max stepped in to help Parker after his wife died and they raised Parker’s kids together. Teddy and Cindy are so cute and Max really loves those kids so there was no hesitation on his part.
As soon as Parker realised he had feeling for Max, their romance unfolded beautifully. I really enjoyed the fact that Parker totally owned his feelings and didn’t really question what was happening.
The love in this family was a total joy and I enjoyed their story as it unfolded.
Low drama but very high in all the feels!
Super Sweet Family

Parker tragically loses his wife and is left raising their 2 children. He has lost his home and has to move in with his close friend, Max. Max has been in love with Parker for a while, so he is only too happy to have them live with him; his only wish is that they become a real family. Fast forward a few years - Parker loses his job and needs to be able to provide medical care for his daughter, so he and Max marry. Their bond grows from friendship to dawning attraction (on Parker's side), to mutual affection and more.
The narration is expertly handled by Nick Russo - he portrays both the adult and kid voices very well. He brings the characters to life with infusing them with the pain of losing a wife, mum, the joys of being a family with your best friend and the passion of falling in love with said BF.
A really lovely story and great listen :)
The feeling when friendship develops into love!

A brilliant demisexual tale with healing, hope, and deep friendship.
The first chapter of this story is devastating and I'll admit it had me in tears and hugging my loved ones close. As the story progresses we see the process of grief and moving forward for Parker and his children. Max is a pillar of strength and always there for them, however, he can be and 3 years later they have formed a little defacto family of sorts. Max loves Parker with all his heart and always has. He wants Parker in his life and loves the kids as his own. For Parker, the hits just keep on coming and for the love of his daughter, he enters into a fake marriage with Max. With the fake wedding being able to solve some of his problems, he thinks; why not?
When a fake marriage turns into a (rather large) backyard family wedding, feelings change and emotions are tested. I really enjoyed this approach to a fake marriage and its organic progression into more. I enjoyed the demisexuality being discovered and thank Susan for not including any stupidity or second-guessing. Once they realized they were more they stuck to it and I loved that! Max and Parker are so good together and I loved the family dynamics. I'd have to say the book may have started with sad tears but it definitely ended with happy ones. An ending with all the feels that you just can't help but smile! This story is a really great addition to Hidden Creek Season 4!!
Thanks for reading!
A brilliant demisexual tale!
