✱✱ Book Review ✱✱ My Girlfriend's Brother by Skye Faun

Sometimes a short, quick read is perfect companionship with a cup of coffee and lunch. Today, I read My Girlfriend's Brother by new author, Skye Faun.

Momma Says: 2 out 5 stars ⭐⭐

My Girlfriend's Brother is written in third person POV and is from the perspective of our two main characters, Adam and Kyle. It fits well into the LGBT Romance genre. It is a MM romance and is quite steamy, so I would recommend 18+. 

…He wasn’t the love I thought I had…

Adam has it all; loving family, good looks, and a hot girlfriend. Best of all, his girl happens to be the sister of his best friend. Adam and Kyle have been through thick and thin, and he couldn’t imagine his world without him.

Kyle has loved Adam from afar since childhood, never letting on the reason for his celibacy. Why give yourself to someone who could never compare to your best friend? No matter what, he’s there for him.

When their two families head out on a Hawaiian vacation, will truths be revealed and Adam find himself questioning every relationship he has? 

Will Adam finally have Kyle in his arms in the morning light instead of only in his dreams?

*My Girlfriend’s Brother is a M/M Friends to Lovers HEA Romance designed to hit you in the feels.*


This is a quick friends to lovers romance, taking about ninety minutes read time. The story is interesting enough, but I had a little trouble with the fact that Adam slept with Kyle's sister in a long term relationship before sleeping with Kyle. Casual dating is a far cry from a committed, intimate relationship and that part was a bit of an ick factor for me. I also found the characters hard to connect or empathize with. Adam comes across as something of a pushover and the "dude/bro" speak is a little over the top. Kyle is an okay character, but other than the fact that he's in college and in love with Adam, there doesn't seem to be much to know. Sarah is beyond unlikable and Kyle and Sarah's parents have to be the most laid back parents ever. 
The blurb was a bit misleading on some things and left me a bit confused as I read - almost like I was reading a different story. The one I read had potential and does have a happy for now ending, but it felt like it was missing something. 
The writing is a little amateurish, but the author does show promise and I'll be interested to see how the writing progressing in future books, this one just wasn't for me. 

My Girlfriend's Brother is available on Amazon and is listed in Kindle Unlimited.
