Tyler Schaeffer’s whole world has been yanked out from under him. Job? Gone. Marriage? Kaput. With nothing to keep him in Chicago, he’s headed home to Seattle to lick his wounds and start over. To his surprise, his high school best friend—the man he ghosted five years ago—swoops in to help him pick up the pieces.

Justin Tucker still stings over Tyler vanishing, but when his old friend needs help, saying no is out of the question. Justin’s got a spare room, and he’ll do anything he can to help Tyler get back on his feet.

As the guys find their way back to friendship, Justin’s old feelings find their way back to the surface. He long ago made peace with Tyler being straight, but that doesn’t make twenty years of longing any easier to bear. Now he’s wondering if he can really handle having the man of his dreams living under his roof and out of his reach.

Except maybe Tyler isn’t as far out of reach as either man thinks…

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific read - sweet, sexy, real!
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2018

Ultra sexy, ultra sweet friends to lovers from one of my favorite authors. Justin and Tyler have been best friends since high school. They haven't been in contact for the last five years but when Tyler's life implodes - divorce, loss of a job, he moves from Chicago where he went to school and stayed, back home to Seattle. He moves in with Justin until he can get his life in order. There has always been a little something between Justin and Tyler but Tyler is straight and Justin is gay. This is like many friends to lovers where one MC is straight, a slow realization that perhaps he is not as straight as he thought. Strong writing, realistic inner monologue from Tyler as he comes to terms with who he is and great secondary characters. I just love LA Witt's HEAs. They make me weep with joy.
"It's been a long road. But I made it. I'm finally home."

3.0 out of 5 stars It is a really slow burn story.. be patient
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2018
3 stars!
Let me start out by saying that I have liked L.A Witt's books and was really interested because of the premise..
Friends to Lovers Check
Straight to Bi/Gay Check
Hunky mature MCs in their 30s Check
Slow-burn Check
Unrequited love Check
But somewhere around the middle, the story started dragging on. Things were happening and yet there was nothing happening between Justin and Tyler. Even when the first kiss actually happened; and there were some passionate scenes, it didn't feel explosive.., it felt explorative, despite the I love you . I was disappointed since I was expecting some light hearted love story of friends with lots of passion and heat ; since Ms. Witt's books typically have that in loads.
Nevertheless, it is still a sweet and tender story of childhood friends who had grown up together, but have drifted apart in the last five years. The bond of friendship has hidden their love for a long time and the story is how they discover that. I just wish there was more heat and sizzle. So if you have patience for a really slooooooow burn, then feel free to check it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was always you; is definitely true for this two best friends

Twenty-five years Justin waited for Tyler... whereas Tyler just realize who he was at age thirty-eight... he finally figured out what his sexuality is... he could be bisexual, but he’s gayer “since” he in love with Justin, which he finally realize at his class reunion after talking to a classmate and checking out another classmate...

It’s funny how everyone saw it, but Tyler didn’t. Clearly, his ex-girlfriends and ex-wife saw that both he and Justin liked each other. & thought they were more than friends, especially when Tyler wife kept arguing with him about it. & people kept coming to Justin about Tyler and asking are they dating or whatever. Justin wanted what everyone was asking, but Tyler assumed he was FULLY a straight man even though he had wondering eyes (looking at men) when he thought no one including his ex-wife wasn’t looking...

At that time, “growing up” and getting older he didn’t know what he truly wanted because he didn’t admit to it until twenty-five years later at the age of thirty-eight. I think he (Tyler) should’ve put things into consideration when he was at least a teenager or in his twenties because waiting until you are forty to figure out your sexuality is crazy... but it’s good that he learned that he was bisexual and was always in LOVE with his best friend, Justin... Because that ex-wife of his was very toxic though I think she may have been more Jealous and insecure because she knew that Justin liked men more particularly “Justin” and didn’t want Tyler around Justin because she knew how Tyler looked at Justin; even when Tyler didn’t see the way he looked at his best friend. She knew that once Tyler moved back to Seattle, she wasn’t going to get him back because once he was again close to his best friend their marriage was a rap for good... which was true since both Tyler and Justin ended up being in a relationship by the end of the book...

3.5 stars for It Was Always You by L.A. Witt. This is a m/m friends to lovers romance. Tyler and Justin used to be best friends but they haven’t seen each other in 5 years because of Tyler’s controlling wife. Now Tyler is getting a divorce and moving back to Seattle . Justin lets Tyler move in with him but Justin has always been in love with Tyler. Soon Justin and Tyler start getting closer. Tyler is questioning himself and his feelings. I loved everything about this book and the story between Tyler and Justin. These characters are what makes a great friends to lovers romance. If you are a lover of m/m romance then this is one you have to read.

It took 25 years for Justin to finally get his best friend to realize they were meant to be together. Tyler also after a failed marriage, lost job and a 5 year absence brought him back to the man he always could depend on. And the realization that the reason his marriage didn't work is because his wife knew what he wouldn't let himself see was that he was in love with his best friend. LOVED IT!!

I have read several L A Witt novels, but this is something different. There is no alcoholism, no PTSD, no mental and physical injuries, and no gritty military setting. It is just a nice gentle story of how Justin at last gets his dream come true and Tyler finds love in the very place where his heart has always been. Maybe Tyler only scores one out of ten for self-awareness, in spite of all the prompting he has received; but it is still believable.
