Falling for my Ex’s Twin was a sweet and forbidden romance!
Reconnecting with your childhood best friend, who also happens to be your twin brother’s ex-husband, through a drunken hookup might not seem like the best idea, but it worked surprisingly well for Jimmy and Flynn. Writing it off as a one-night thing, they tried to be friends again at first. It didn’t take long for the connection from their childhood to make a reappearance, and neither of them could really hide their interest for more.
I liked the history between them, and the long time crushing and pining from Jimmy’s PoV made my heart ache a little. Jimmy was great with Flynn, and very gently tried to make him see how the relationship with his brother had been toxic and abusive. They were really sweet together, and Flynn finally being taken care of and ‘spoiled’ the way he deserved was lovely to see.
It was overall a sweet read with pretty low angst, despite the themes and the ‘forbidden’ nature of Jimmy and Flynn’s relationship. Flynn was such a sweetheart, and he and Jimmy ending up together felt inevitable from early on. I really enjoyed their relationship and how Flynn started to thrive under Jimmy’s TLC and praise.
