**Author Note** IWL has had a makeover inside and out!
Nothing about the story has been changed, just given a nice spring clean of slight errors.

♡Today’s love doesn’t always have to look like yesterday’s love ♡

Book 1 in a set of 2.

Falling in love with your best friend is so cliché and old as time.
I’m just a southern girl in New York.
I never imagined I’d meet my soulmate.

And not a big deal like Noah Fierro. He’s the classic type A personality with a side order of brusqueness. Far too handsome and a magnetism I was swept up in.

And … we’re both into guys.

Curve ball, right? Tell me about it. I was crushed.
But he’s my person. My bestie.

And I need to ditch my enormous crush for good.

What if a friendship is so consuming it supersedes conventionality?
We have love. But will my heart be broken?

I’m Sena Black and is he … Straight-for-me?

Disclaimer: Due to this book being part of a duet series the story does have one of those big ole stonking TO BE CONTINUED endings. BUT book two comes right after!

Bonus Disclaimer: Intended for audiences 18+ because of the hot things two friends do together

I write about ever lasting love and gorgeous alpha men sex words, because who doesn’t like that? My romances come dark, they’re sometimes taboo and then other times they’re forbidden but there is always a happily ever after.

Currently playing with bikers in my head.

Oh Noah Noah Noah... and Sena

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is not only the first book that I read by this author, but it’s the first book that I read that is of this trope, style, subject. I was addicted from the first page LOL and couldn’t consume it fast enough.

So Noah and Sena have been best friends for years now; four years ago they met. Everything is great, except for the fact that Noah is gay and Sena is basically in love with him. Their relationship is a close one, well, they ARE best friends. They have keys to each other‘s homes, they spend a lot of time together, they eat together, and are extremely close. I loved her perspective because we got to feel and see every little touch from Noah and every little flutter that she felt whenever he did. Because they’re so close, they’re very comfortable around each other and have a lot of intimate gestures and touches that would make it seem as if they’re together as a couple, but because he’s gay, it’s almost like it’s okay for it to be happening since there are no romantic feelings involved. However, she has been looking at him differently a lot lately, so every gesture, touch, look, caress, whisper gives her butterflies in her stomach and her heart rate accelerates. They are each other’s constant, their reliable person, their ride-or-dies 🥰❤️sigh- swoooon!

One Day, it all changes, and it was glorious. Before it happened though, I felt the tension, the chemistry, the connection between them, and I couldn’t wait until they finally crossed the line. Sena has been in a dry spell for a while and has been wanting to hook up with somebody, but somehow or another, she backs out and doesn’t follow through. Noah convinces her to not do anything stupid, regardless, so she ends up not doing anything with anyone. The day it all changed was when they were laying down watching a movie like they’ve done a gazillion times before and things got heated (the movie definitely set the mood). Once they crossed the line, there was no turning back. In fact, she tried to avoid him, but the elephant in the room and the visceral sexiness between them didn’t allow them to ignore it any longer.

Oh man. Noah’s dirty mouth is 🥵🔥. No wonder Sena couldn’t resist him! It was raw, sexy, gritty and primitive. I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough. Dear Lord, sweet jeeeezus it was good! In the back of Sena’s mind, she wonders what they are, what is REALLY going on with them, and it DOES end in a cliffy for a reason. I can’t wait to read book 2.

Thank you V. Theia for writing this book!! The title embodies their situation... loved it.

Love is love. No questions, no logic, just love

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 16, 2019

‘It was love’ is the first book that I read from the writer V. Theia. To be honest, I had first bought the book ‘Manhattan secret’ (also a book of this writer) when I discovered that this duet series was connected with that book. So I looked this duet series up and after reading the blurb (a romance story between a woman and a gay guy?!!), I got VERY curious about this story!! So I decided to start with ‘It was love’ first.

Noah and Sena met 4 years ago and since then they have been best friends. Sadly, no matter how crazy Sena is about him. Noah is gay. He has never been with a woman because he knew from an very early age that he was attracted to men. But then one evening, something happens that makes Sena very confused because Sena and Noah did some sexual experimentation in the bedroom. Now, Sena doesn’t know what to think of Noah or his feelings or their friendship. And as time goes by and they do a lot more then experimentation, Sena gets more and more confused. Because what does It all mean? Although she enjoys every sexual encounter with Noah, she’s also very much afraid that he will break her heart in the end. Because she loves him and wants a relationship with him. And then comes the night that she sees something that confirm her fear. Noah with another man. Was she wrong to trust Noah with her heart and body? Or can she trust him with both?

Let me start by saying that this story ends with a cliffhanger but seeing that this is a duet series, I expected this. But what a rollercoaster this story was. Because V. Theia was a new writer to me, I didn’t really know what to expect of this story. But it had a bit of everything in it. It was funny at times, very steamy at others, it was emotional but it wasn’t dark. The story wasn’t ‘perfect’, sometimes we got a little too much information, other times too little information but still, I couldn’t put it down! This story held my attention during good, slow, steamy, funny and emotional scenes. I just had to know what would happen next!!!

Sena is the most funny of the two (I love the fact that she’s a computer nerd!). She also has the habit of talking a lot to herself in her head (sometimes a bit too much). And one of her favourite subject is Noah and she’s really crazy about him. She reminds you many times that he’s perfectly handsome and very hot. Noah is more the cooler, confident character. One thing that I loved very much in this story is their friendship. You really felt the connection between them, how they were at ease with each other. The fact that they could be themselves in each other company. And that also made the fact that Noah felt for Sena believable to me. Because of their special bond.
And Noah may be ‘gay’ but be prepared, there were many, many steamy sex scenes in this book!!!

I’m so intrigued by this story that I already bought the second book and I’m reading it at this moment!

The desire, the passion, the bone deep love between Noah and Sena is incredible. I don't know if I can do this duet justice but I'm going to give it my best shot. Noah is alpha to the core, his every breath is commanding. He is also not into women, not in any way. Sena adores him, he is her best friend and also her secret desire. Pushing down those feelings work for only so long until they force their way onto the surface. When they end up in bed together, its a shock to both their systems. When the story ends here, things are way up in the air. I was completely swept up into their story, consumed by them and their love. 6 stars for the breath stealing connection between Sena and her lion!

Do you know what V. Theia does amazingly? Write sexy af book boyfriends.

We've all ready gay-for-you books. Now take a bow this awesome Straight-For-You story! Can a gay all his life man fall for his beautiful friendship?

Plenty of authoresses write amazing smut and dirty talk, we've read plenty, but V for me is up there with the best of them. My eyeballs steam over with her words and how she builds chemistry and tension between the leading characters and makes me turn the pages rapidly to find out what happens next.

This book is heavy in character development. We get to know these two really quick and I adore them. I adore their friendship. It's so palpable and special that even if there was no romance in this book ( there is a TON!! ) I would have been happy watching Noah and Sena on the sofa watching SOA and chatting about men.

QUOTE: We’ve laughed and enjoyed each other so much over the years it was inevitable my lines would cross somewhere along the way. We’ve acted like a couple. We’ve tended to our non-conventional, dysfunctional and highly co-dependent relationship.

It's well established now Theia has written my favorite MC series and in particular I'm not so quietly obsessed and chomping at the bit for HAWK's book (he's next!!!!!!!!) but now I'm worried... can a book hero be TOO perfect! Noah Fierro blew my tiny mind. He's all kinds of attentive in his friendship. He's chivalrous, overly protective ( he boyfriend-blocks like a pro )

QUOTE: Why do some people connect? I don't know. Chemistry, maybe something deeper, I'm not a scientist, I only know I needed Noah to breathe.

The longing in this book was OFF. THE. CHARTS. We've all felt unrequited love and how it kills you to be near then and not lick their face off. I loved hearing Sena's desire for her best friend and when the tide did turn her way... OH BOY It got real hot real damn fast!

As you'd expect with a Duet book it has a cliffy ending. Drats! Can't wait for book 2 in a couple of weeks!! I need more Noah in my life asap. Sigh.

Holy Mother Of Pearl!!!!
Victoria has done it again. I now have a new alpha whos alter I bow down to and will happily do so. Noah is the ultimate man with his dark and brooding personality and chivalrous manners that make you constantly swoon. Sena is the tech doc, my fave geek and as far as I am concerned she is my soul sister. The friendship between these two is amazing to see and I loved every minute of it.
I won't be spilling too many secrets but if you've read the blurb then you know this is one hell of a taboo romance and DAMN, is it hot! Vic does not disappoint with the most amazing sexy details and provides us with the perfect amount of angst.
I think that I can honestly say that there is not one emotion that I didn't feel throughout this book from laughing out loud to swooning like a lovesick teenager and then the tears because it has just tugged at your heartstrings.
This is book one and you will have to not so patiently wait for book two to see how they get their happily ever after. Also, this is a duet, so there is a slight cliffhanger that will have you biting down your nails so make sure to have some ice cream and/or chocolate on hand to help you through it!

Very nice read!

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on June 11, 2021

I loved this book! The plot is not something we see very often, a girl who is secretly in love with her best friend of years—who is gay.
Sounds cliché, but let me tell you, the story was really well explored, you could see how their love was already there because of their friendship.

Sena was an IT specialist, living her best live—just not in the relationship department.
She was madly in love with her best friend Noah, and although she tried to date other people, it never worked.
Well, we can’t always choose whom we love right?
It is bad when love is not reciprocated, and I felt really sorry for her at the beginning, because this guy was irresistible. What wasn’t there to love? (Well, besides the part they both liked men) I laughed out loud with Sena’s monologues, and I just wished to have this girl as a friend!

It felt a little repetitive in my opinion, how she described her attraction to him, how hot he was, and the fact that she knew that encouraging these feelings for him wouldn’t take her anywhere. But all in all that was ok.

Noah, a millionaire workaholic, nightclub mogul, and the best friend a person could have. I loved his personality, how he took care of Sena, and gave a lot of his time to their friendship. He had this possessive/jealous side towards her that just reinforced how strong his feelings for her were.

Then, one day everything changed. Their touches and looks started to get a bit different, and they were never the same.

This couple’s chemistry was soooo hot. I think this is the thing I like most about friends-to-lovers tropes. The characters already have great chemistry, already have a bond and share a past with one another.
Of course for Sena and Noah it was a little weird at the beginning because of the “not so gay as I thought” part.
But in the end, the sexual part is the onliest thing that was missing in their relationship.
This was a veeery spicy book, loved every second of them being together and how well they fit as a couple.

I loved the bit of drama at the end as well, it was a nice way of getting the story rolling to the next book.
I rate it 4.5 stars and really recommend if you need a light, fun and sexy story.
