Synopsis

Keller

Banging my son’s bestie was a total accident that will never, ever happen again. I’m sure of it.

While he might be gorgeous and caught me in a weak moment, when it comes right down to it, my son has been my entire life for the last twenty-six years. I don’t know how to be anything other than his dad.

But with Molly heading off to Seattle, he leaves me with a parting gift: Will.

His best friend.

And my new roommate.

Still, I’m determined to focus on my plan of finding someone to settle down with and to start living for me.

Then Molly hits me with another gift: he’s asked Will to help find me the perfect partner.

Will

Molly running away across the country and leaving me made one thing very obvious. I crave stability. I crave a life where I get to control what happens to me, without the constant threat of having to move home to my homophobic family.

All I need to focus on is work and making enough money for the downpayment on my own place.

Except now I’m living in the spare bedroom of the man I’ve been in love with for years.

The same bedroom where we had one very messy, very quick accidental frot sesh.

Now I’m cooking for him every night, and we’re working out together every morning. It’s all feeling very domestic and my heart can’t separate reality from the fantasies in my head.

I know I’m going to get hurt.

It’s only a matter of time.

But when it comes to Keller, it’s impossible for me to walk away.

Review

Reviewed by ButtonsMom2003

A great addition to this series!

I want to start out by saying that this book can be read as a standalone (but the whole series is great). However, if you’ve read Not Dating Material, featuring Molly and Seven, (book two in Saxon’s Accidental Love series) you might be happy to learn that System Overload is about Molly’s dad and we find out how Molly got his name.

I started out reading this book with my eyes but before I finished it the audiobook became available so I switched to listening to it. Nick J. Russo is such a great voice actor and I loved his performance of this story.

Keller (Molly’s dad) invited Will (Molly’s best friend) to stay with him after Molly moves out. The close proximity adds to the tension that’s between them ever since Keller rescued Will when he got drunk and then things happened between them.

There are some seriously funny scenes in this story but there are also some pretty serious ones as both Keller and Will come to grips with the relationship that neither of them wants to let go. The only problem for each of them is how will Molly react? Keller is used to putting his son first but doesn’t want to lose Will. Molly has been Will’s best friend and confidant since they were in college and he doesn’t want to lose that even though they now live across the country from each other.

This story was full of hot sexy time and lots of feels and I really enjoyed reading and listening to it.
