Here’s Why Readers are Absolutely Loving MORE THAN FRIENDS!

January 30, 2025 by Rachel Hamilton Leave a Comment

Three songs from the MORE THAN FRIENDS playlist I'm obsessed with!

Have you read Toby and Leilani’s friends-to-lovers, second-chance romance, More Than Friends? I’m so excited for you to read their story of love, friendship, and support. And I’m thrilled with the early feedback from readers. Here’s what readers are saying:

“Reese Ryan packs a lot of characterization and plot into More Than Friends, and it’s a real page turner in the best ways. An excellent read!” ~ F. Chen

“This series has been so good. I love reading the growth Lei went through.” ~ TLW

“I learned so much about ADHD and it was eye opening and educational. This book made me laugh and cry. Fantastic book!” ~ Avidrdrswil1

“Loved this couple, loved, loved, loved Toby.” ~ Vilma A.

In case you missed it, I shared Chapter One and Chapter Two of More Than Friends last week. Get your copy of Toby and Leilani’s story in e-book, paperback, or through Kindle Unlimited by clicking below. 

If you’ve already read the book, thank you so much for buying and reading it! If you enjoyed it, I’d love it if you shared your honest review on your favorite review site. 

Best friends. Only one bed. What’s the worst that could happen?

Leilani

Toby and I dated in high school. The romance didn’t last, but I got a friend for life. I’m a session singer, he’s an A&R rep, and we live on opposite coasts. Still, we’ve been best friends since high school. Okay, yes there’s occasionally some innocent flirting, but nothing serious. Neither of us would risk our friendship by getting involved again. But one long overdue destination wedding and a petty prank by his scheming ex and a little flirting turns into one incredible night. It was a mistake. And it definitely…probably…won’t happen again.

Toby

For a long time, I accepted that Leilani and I were better as friends than lovers. But lately, our “innocent” flirtations incite the filthiest thoughts, and I can’t stop wanting her. When playful teasing turns to a heated kiss, it ends in a night neither of us will ever forget. Leilani declares it a mistake, but I propose friendship with benefits, and she agrees. But the truth is I can’t ignore my growing feelings for her anymore. I’m determined to prove that we could be so much more than friends and that taking a chance on finding forever is worth the risk.

She’s nothing he wants. And everything he needs. 

Preston: I’m Mr. Serious, the guy they call “all work and no play.” So of course my grandfather’s sadistic will has put me in charge of fun at the family’s wedding resort. I have just a few weeks to come up with an all-ages activities program for the resort’s guests—or lose my family’s land forever. Meanwhile, the clock’s ticking at my finance firm, where I’m up for a huge promotion—if I can prove I’m a team player.

Worse, I have to work with the reigning queen of fun, Natalie Archer. If there’s a party, Natalie’s there, and she’s the one dancing on the tables. She doesn’t think much of my suits, ties, cufflinks, and spreadsheets, and I don’t think much of her fun-first–safety-last attitude. But for some reason, I can’t stop thinking about her gorgeous curves, wild curly hair, or sparkling smile. I’m a man who values self-control—and I’m running low. 

Natalie launches Operation Fun to help me loosen up and win the promotion I’ve been chasing. Now we’re spending days and nights together—and learning that some activities are a lot of fun for both of us. But as our deadline approaches and our collaboration heats up, Natalie and I find ourselves asking a big question: Opposites may attract, but can they live happily ever after? 

A spicy, opposites attract, fish-out-of-water, enemies to lovers, billionaire hero standalone romantic comedy set in the beloved small town of Rush Creek.
