“The right way is the one where we end up together…And to do that, we need to survive this.”A brilliant, obsessive mind is the heart of Sebastian Seaver’s genius. It might also be the thing that costs him everything he’s created and everyone he’s ever loved. Consumed with the need to destroy Alexei Stornovich, the Russian mob boss who murdered his fiancée and parents, nothing can turn Bas from … turn Bas from his plans of revenge until he’s eradicated every last one of them. By any means necessary, and at any cost.
Drew McMann learned early that the key to success is control. Control carried him through law school and helped him keep Seaver Tech together through tragedy. It helped him survive the brutal murder of his sister Amy, his parents’ divorce, and the revelation that the seeds of their destruction had been planted by someone he had considered family. It’s how he’s hidden his love from his best friend Bas for more than half their lives. And now it’s how he’s going save Bas from himself and finally get his family of friends free from Alexei’s clutches. Drew has a plan for everything… Until the kiss.
When Drew loses control one reckless, drunken evening and his true feelings for Bas are revealed, he tries desperately to contain the damage and keep their friendship on track, even as decades of lies and half-truths seek to tear them apart. With Alexei targeting them and their friends, Drew and Bas are forced to rely on each other more than ever. But as danger closes in on them, can they sacrifice their needs for logic and control, and recognize that the only right way to move forward is the one in which they’re together?

The Way Home series were some of the first action-adventure, romantic suspense MM books I read and they stuck with me from the beginning, which was only two years ago.
This was also one of the first books I read where an annoying ex from a previous installment found redemption and his own HEA, and I loved every minute of it.
Will be re-reading again soon.
I absolutely adored Drew and Sebastian’s story. The tension between them we got a glimpse of in the previous book is revealed and explained fully in this beutiful story of self-discovery (or self-awareness, if you will) on Seb’s part.
Meanwhile, Drew, Seb and the whole crew are struggling to find a way to take SILA down and put an end to the threat to their lives and futures.
This book is the third in the series, and it wraps up the Russian mob murder storyline. There are some definite nail-biting moments. This is also the romance of Drew and Bas, best friends since childhood. They would seem to be meant for each other, if only Bas wasn’t straight. But is he, really?
I love the banter and snark, along with the deep feelings, between these men. I love their devotion to remaining best friends, no matter what it takes. And I love how each freely admits that the other is the most important person in the world, even when they aren’t a couple. Their sexy moments are smoking hot, and their tender moments are just lovely. The previous couples get a nice amount of attention, too, which makes me happy. I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series, and I have to say that this one is my favorite so far. I hope that Gary’s story is coming, because he deserves a good man, too!
Third book in the series and this one features Bas and Drew. I didn’t care to much for these two n the first book, but they turned out not so bad in the second book. I fell in love with them in this book. it is a sign of a talented writer when when there is a character that you didn’t like, but after reading their story you change your mind about them.
I did want to slap them both on the head and lock them in a room until they sorted it all out. I loved how the authors portrayed Bas’s conflicting feelings and coming to terms with himself and finding out things about him he didn’t admit and accepted before. Bas and Drew work so well together, it was wonderful to read about. ,
Book #3 in The Way Home series. This is a stunning story that will have you on the edge of your seat right up to the last page!
SPOILER ALERT: THIS IS BOOK #3 IN THE WAY HOME SERIES. IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE EASY WAY AND THE LONG WAY (BOOKS #1 AND #2, RESPECTIVELY), THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
When your parents and fiancée are deliberately murdered, what do you do? How do you handle it when you know exactly who’s behind it? For Sebastian Seaver, brilliant, obsessive, and single-minded CEO of Seaver Tech, you focus every thought and feeling plotting your revenge. He’s a man on a mission, focused solely on vengeance, even if it consumes him and ravages everything and everyone in his life. Andrew McCann is Sebastian’s former fiancée’s brother. He’s also Sebastian’s best friend. The aftermath of the plane crash has destroyed Drew’s life too. But Drew, head of Seaver Tech’s legal department, is control incarnate. It’s what’s gotten him through everything in his life, including the crash, his parents’ subsequent divorce, and Sebastian’s withdrawal into revenge. Bas and Drew are two halves of a whole. While Bas is impulsive and brilliant, Drew’s the calm control freak. But their differences are what have made the two best friends since childhood. As Drew tries to pull Bas out of his self-imposed exile, little does he know he may be about to make the biggest mistake of his life. A drunken episode at a Halloween party reveals a closely-held secret that Drew’s kept nearly his entire life, a secret that threatens to implode his friendship with Bas. Bas can’t process this. He pushes Drew away hard and fast. But as the two friends push past that uncomfortable revelation, they focus on taking down the organization responsible for the devastation in their lives. When the plans Bas has so carefully crafted fail, it’s Drew, Cam, Cort, Cain, Damon, and their contacts that come up with a plan. But that plan comes with great risk. It could destroy them all. Can Bas and Drew finally accept what’s nearly broken their friendship…maybe for good? Is it possible this insane plan will work? If it does, just who will pay? Absolutely nothing is certain. All you can possibly know is somehow, some way, everyone involved is going to pay in some way. Just exactly what will each be willing to sacrifice?
May Archer is brilliant! She’s a consummate storyteller. There’s mystery, constant uncertainty, wide-ranging emotions, and the ever-changing relationship between Bas and Drew. While both Bas and Drew appear in relatively minor roles in the previous two books, Ms. Archer has put them front and center in The Right Way, and WOW! Their story is electric, charismatic, and stunning! Of course, they’re the absolute focus of this story. But May Archer has outdone herself in so many ways. The back and forth between Bas and Drew are magnetic. These two fight, push each other away, find common ground, and fight for family and friends right up to the last word of the book. Ms. Archer evokes emotions that run the gamut: sorrow, desperation, frustration, resignation, terror, joy, laughter, wonder, and acceptance. Drew and Bas are irresistible. There were times when I wanted to take Bas and Drew and knock their heads together. Stubborn and pigheaded don’t begin to describe them. To say I was all in from the first page would be an understatement. The ending came far too soon. I can’t get enough of Ms. Archer’s books, and I eagerly await the next one. Her writing just keeps getting better and better. Thank you, May Archer, for such a stunning and captivating story. This story doesn’t deserve anything less than five stars! Congratulations, Ms. Archer, on yet another winner!
One final note. Please be an informed reader! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and sexual scenes. If you don’t enjoy this genre, this book may not be for you. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and all booksellers’ websites. Use these resources. DON’T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON’T ENJOY THE BOOK. It’s not fair to the author! She works very hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you’ll object to the book’s subject matter before you buy it, you’re doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
