Change His Tune (Harmony of Hearts #3)

Up next (well, the final series--so far) in Ariella Zoelle's Sunnyside universe is the Harmony of Hearts series (each book has a rockstar as a main character). The third book is "Change His Tune."

["Ferris is straight, but that’s never stopped him from engaging in some friendly flirting with Tiago. But is Ferris ready for his fake flirtations with his best friend to become real?

Tiago Álvarez
My last great idea ended with me on my knees praying to the porcelain gods, so I don’t blame Ferris for being skeptical when I tell him I’ve come up with a genius masterplan to boost our popularity. But this strategy is guaranteed to work! If we take a page out of the K-Pop boyband playbook by coyly flirting with each other to drive the fangirls wild, then we’ll surely end up with millions of followers on social media. I’m a genius, right?
But just between us, I have an ulterior motive in convincing my best friend that we should share our banter with the fans. I want to make him see that our casual flirting could turn into something real. The only thing standing in my way is the fact that he’s straight. But it’s obvious how much fun he has teasing me, so I wonder if maybe he’s not as straight as he used to be?
Can I convince my best friend through our fake flirting that I’m actually in love with him?

Ferris Valdemar
As long as I’ve been friends with Tiago, we’ve always joked around with each other. Even though I’m straight, I’ll flirt with anyone since it’s so fun. That’s why his idea to win over more fans by playing up our witty exchanges for the cameras doesn’t seem like such a big deal. But as he ramps up his charm, it becomes harder to distinguish the blur between what’s fake and what’s real.
One minute, I’m laughing as Tiago and I film a dramatic reading of fan fiction written about us being together. The next, we’re suddenly kissing. It unlocks the flood gates of my feelings as things quickly get out of hand. It’s like I suddenly can’t get enough of him. So much for being straight.
I should end the farce and pretend nothing ever happened between us, but how can I do that when I want more of him?"]

I'm not sure why, with Ariella's track record and promise of low to no angst, but I really excepted more angst or more push back. Or at least nothing to happen for several chapters. So glad I was wrong. On all accounts. Honestly. This book could have been half as long, because they were so in love and happy and they just transitioned perfectly from best friends to boyfriends. Perfect. Utter perfection.
