Title: Bro Split (More Than Friends, #2)
Date Finished: July 9, 2025
Review: I really enjoyed this one, though it was a bit heavy on the smut. But that's relatively normal for K.M. Neuhold's books, especially their MMM romances.
This book features Xeno, who we met in book 1. He had a threesome in that last book. And boy does he get some more of that action in this one. Xeno is a gym rat, but mostly because he owns and runs a bakery and needs to work off those calories.
Xeno ends up being Ezra's gay awakening of a sort. He kind of just convinces Ezra to just... go for it, to be himself, in the first chapter of the book (or maybe the prologue, I don't remember, tbh). So Ezra. He's your typical nerdy dude. He's an accountant and loves scifi and fantasy stuff, though, not a big focus in this. He did the whole compulsory heterosexuality thing for most of his life. Got a good job, got a good wife. But he never felt right in his life. Until Xeno. Sometime between the first chapter/prologue, he ends up divorcing his wife and moving into a new apartment. Which happens to be next door to both Xeno, and on the other side, Xeno's rival Andre (Dre).
Dre owns the gym that Xeno works out at all the time, and used to work out with Marlon (and where Xeno had that shower threesome in the last book). Dre and Xeno have had a rivalry for AGES. They always try to one up each other in the gym and with picking up guys.
Ezra meets Dre when he goes to sign up for the gym, but then chickens out at first. Dre convinces him to stick it out and work out, with Dre as his personal trainer. They realize they are neighbors at some point, I don't remember how. There is an instant attraction between them.
But Ezra runs into Xeno again at the apartment and is immediately attracted to him, too.
Basically, Ezra agrees to a date with both of them and they slowly but surely work it out that they are all into each other. With some awkward conversations, including one between Dre and his ex, they eventually figure out how it's all going to work for them.
The epilogue wraps everything up with a nice little bow, even for Ezra's ex, who we don't really hear about much at all during the book. She gets herself a girlfriend at a support group for LGBTQ people (or something like that?) when she wanted to understand how Ezra took so long to figure himself out. And then she figured herself out.
I genuinely have no idea what I'm going to read next. I have a few things downloaded onto my kindle, so we'll see!
