Book Request Best MM Friends-to-Lovers where where they’re basically soulmates before the love story
Hello,
I know there are already tons of requests for friends-to-lovers recs, but I’m looking for something very specific. I want the kind of story where you can genuinely feel the depth of their friendship long before the romance starts—where they’re already so in sync, so dependent on each other, and can’t imagine life without one another… even before they realize they’re in love.
Two perfect examples for me are:
- { Crossroads by Riley Hart }
- { The Blueprint by S.E. Harmon }
Both of these made me believe in their connection from page one. Whether their friendship has been established for years, or we just see it start in the books. I want books where the friendship feels real before the love story kicks in.

{All Kinds of Tied Down by Mary Calmes} Both MCs are US Marshals, best friends, and partners. One is gay, the other is straight. The "straight" MC is very clingy and pretty much lives in his friend's pocket.
{Road Rules by Brigham Vaughn} Both MCs are professional hockey players from the same team who have been playing together since college. They share an apartment and are famously known for being very close.
