Realization (Delaney Duo Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 46 ratings

Realization: I can’t keep pretending everything is fine.

Dylan isn’t as happy as he wants everyone to believe he is. He moved across the country for what he thought was his dream job, leaving his dad and best friend behind, but soon realizes the job doesn’t outweigh his desire to go back home. Encouraged by his best friend, as a way of meeting new people, he organizes a blind date for Valentine’s Day with a guy he met online. The last thing he expects is for his blind date to be his dad’s best friend.

Realization: I want the one thing I was sure I’d never want.

Russell has spent a long time pretending he’s not getting older, and acting like he’s still in his twenties. Now, in the latter half of his forties, and notoriously anti-relationship, he’s realizing he might want more than just one-night stands. A secret, long-distance relationship with his best friend’s son was not part of his plan though. Will the sneaking around and lying destroy his twenty-year-long friendship?

Realization is a 28K word MM romance which has Dad’s best friend/best friend’s son, steamy phone sex, and an awkward family dinner. This is the second of two books in the Delaney Duo series. It can be read as a standalone, but it’s more fun to read them in order.

    I love this series so much!! You will love all the charaters!! So Dylan gets on an app and has a blind date. When he gets to his date find out that its his Dad's best friend Russell. They have a nice time. They live in 2 different states so they start facetime chats that led to sex. Then Russell surprises Dylan for his birthday. I will not spoil it. Its a wonderful read. First time gay - Age Gap - Father's best friend - Son of the best friend.
    This is one of favorite authors.

    I loved Devon and Sebastian's story so much in book 1 that I was eagerly anticipating Russell and Dylan's story! It was really good...with a 22 year age gap, a sexual awakening, father's best friend...it had some fabulous and very steamy FaceTime calls too as they navigated being located on opposite coasts. It did move at lightening speed, with a lot of things thrown into the story, but it all wrapped up very nicely at the end. I just wish it had been a little longer to develop some of themes more and so I could have read more about Russ and Dylan! Don't forget to grab the short to bring it all together.

    Loved the trope and the initial meeting. Loved how they fought with their expectations bit their feelings won. Well done

    I was so glad to get more of the Delaney Duo! I loved Sebastion and Devon’s story, and I was left needing to know more about Dylan and Russ! I’m a big fan of age-gap romances, and this one delivered with a 22 year age gap. I also love the Father’s best friend dynamic and this one did not disappoint. I love how Dylan and Russ’s relationship unfolded. Their long-distance relationship brought on some super hot and sexy FaceTime calls that left me fanning myself! It was great getting a glimpse of Sebastion and Dylan again. Make sure you grab the short that ties it all together!

    This is the sequel to Resolution and features a significant age gap.
    It's cute. Dylan quickly comes to accept that he's bi and the age difference doesn't bother him either. Not going to lie, it bothered me a little which lost the star. Not because of the years but because Russell had known Dylan since he was an infant. Once I could put that aside I enjoyed it
