They say it’s a bad idea to fall for your best friend. But since when do I say no to bad ideas?

Adam: It’s not like I wanted to fall in love with Ben. When we first met in college, I thought he’d be like every other hot jock who’d made my life hell in high school. It's not my fault he turned out to be sweet, funny, and insanely talented. We moved to New York after college to break into the music business and of course Ben got signed by a major label—they’d be stupid not to want him. But even though he’s a famous popstar now, he still wants to be friends with a nobody like me. Honestly, if he didn’t want me falling for him, he should have been less goddamn perfect.

Well, except for the part where he’s straight. Did I forget to mention that?

In my defense, responsible decision-making has never been my strong suit. Case in point—collapsing on stage, guitar in hand, after discovering my then-boyfriend, now-ex was cheating on me, and downing a bottle of bourbon in response. But I’m cleaning up my act—no more hiding in the closet and no more bad life choices. But that also means no more waiting around for the day Ben magically decides he likes di…sgustingly sappy guys with secret crushes on him (aka me).

So why did Ben have to pick now to make me question everything I thought I knew about us?

“I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want you right now. When I see you, something inside me lights up.”

Ben: It’s not like I planned this. I was on tour when Adam collapsed back in New York and he wouldn’t even let me come home early to visit him. But that’s Adam for you—brilliant, breathtaking, and pathologically afraid of vulnerability. All I wanted was to be there for him—and him coming out didn’t change that in the slightest. Yeah, I couldn’t help seeing him a little differently. And no, I couldn’t quite explain why I was suddenly noticing the curve of his back, the freckles on his cheeks, or wondering what his lips tasted like. But whatever weird awakening I was having, Adam needed support, not more confusion.

And then I kissed him. Whoops.

And I know it’s fast. I know it’s unexpected. I know my label would be livid if they found out I was dating a guy. But I also know—deeply and inexplicably—that this could be something real. I just have to convince Adam of the same thing. Beautiful, broken Adam who looks at the world through 14 layers of irony. Adam, who’d rather get an appendectomy than admit that he needs someone. Adam, who still doesn’t know all of my secrets.

So do I convince him to risk everything—on me?

Adam’s Song is Book 1 in the 8 Million Hearts series. While each book can be read on its own, they've even more fun to read together. Adam’s Song is a 120,000 word m/m romance full of snark, sweetness, and a healthy serving of steam. Friends-to-lovers and hurt/comfort themes. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.

YOU NEED TO ONE-CLICK THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!

Reviewed in Australia on 6 June 2017

I honestly don't know where to start with this one. I have read every single one of Spencer Spears books and this one is by far my favourite. She has done such an amazing job of telling the story of not only the love between Adam and Ben but also dealt with Adams anxieties and Ben's realisation that he isn't as straight as he thought, in such a way that you just feel for them and it makes you want to climb into the book and wrap them up and cuddle them to bits. I love a good friends to lovers story and this one sure as heck does not disappoint. The characters were so well developed that you feel as though you know them personally and their joy and sadness becomes yours. I absolutely freakin loved the way that Ben's sappiness made Adam disgusted, but, he secretly loves it. The supporting characters as always need their own story like yesterday and I cant wait to see if we find out where Gray, Nick, Luke and Micah's stories lead them ( esp Gray). So if you love a good MM story ( this one is better than good) then do yourself a favour and one-click this book, you wont be disappointed as it has everything you could want or need in a story, its well written, has well developed characters, that one person you want to choke (Adams dad is an ass), a seriously adorable couple, great supporting characters and some hot man on man lovin...
I received an ARC of this book ( and still bought it anyway) and am voluntarily leaving an honest and unbiased review.

This is a wonderful, entertaining M/M romance. Spencer Spears gives you amazing characters in her books.

Reviewed in Australia on 7 June 2017

"I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book" I try not to give a storyline away when I review a book The blurb for this book does a great job of describing the storyline, although the book is better than the description, so you have nothing to lose. The main characters in this book, Adam and Ben are very well developed and their interaction with the secondary characters work extremely well in introducing you to each of them. The by-play between Adam and Ben is hilarious most of the time and heart wrenching other times. You will be laughing out loud sometimes and reaching for the box of tissues other times. Spencer Spears has written an amazing story that will pull you in and you will find it hard to put down. A true romance full of love, insecurities and hope, there are serious issues to work through to get to their HEA.

Unlikable protagonists and too predictable

Reviewed in Australia on 21 September 2017

Adam and Ben undertake the friends to lovers and GFY paths. While this isn't necessarily a problem - I usually like this type of story - this one just isn't done well. Adam is pretty awful. His deep insecurities turn into an entire book of neurotic whining. Ben is too perfect and rather two-dimensional. The plot is entirely predictable and the writing just mediocre. I can't recommend this book for M M lovers as it read a bit like a paint-by-numbers efforts.

I loved the rich and fully-realised characters of Adam and Ben ...

Reviewed in Australia on 8 June 2017

Friends-to-lovers books are some of my favourites in the M/M romance genre and Adam's Song by Spencer Spears is my current must-read. I loved the rich and fully-realised characters of Adam and Ben and I didn't want this book to end (yay for bonus chapters!). The dialogue was witty and believable, and the emotional insights of the main characters moving and authentic. I am so happy to see that this is the start of a new series and I' keeping my fingers crossed for a Nick & Eli story sometime soon...

Reviewed in Australia on 11 January 2019

So way beyond cute that I am beyond words but not without it’s significant angst. A really great book. I’m about to start the next one.

If you love the kind of book were you feel like you are with friends, were the characters actually talk to you then this is for you. Brilliant characters, great story loved every second of it can't wait to see if there's going to be a second book. Well worth 5 stars.

An interesting tale although at times l wanted to shake one of the characters very hard. A bit introspective at times but that seems to be the fashion at the moment. I will be reading the other one in due course.

I enjoyed being in Ben and Adam‘s world for a few hours. I loved their banter and was very happy to find out there‘s a free bonus epilogue too for newsletter subscribers.

„Good night, Adam. My dearest, favoritest human in the entire world,“ I couldn‘t resist adding.

Good story

Our two singer heroes - one extremely popular with the masses, the other sort of well-known but lower down the public adoration scale - have been best friends for years. One gay, one not. One in love with the other, the other not having a clue.
The book is written well, with realistic and fluid dialogue. The usual problems that are small in my mind, but in book form always seem to be so major that they keep a romantic pair separate for some time.

One of my favorites recently. Surprise!

Reviewed in the United States on 20 November 2017

Oh man, I loved this book. I’ve been meh about Spears’ other books that I’ve read (in fact, I gave Strawberry Moon a pretty scathing review. It was…not good). But Adam’s Song was so much better/different than her previous works that I almost felt like I was reading a different author. The characters, plotting, dialog, and lack of overused tropes made Adam’s Song feel like a completely different style. I don’t know if Spears is growing in her writing or if she set out to write something different, but I like it! I hope Gray For You is just as good.

After reading quite a few books recently with terrible dialog and purple prose (Can’t Fight It, I’m looking at you), it was SO NICE to read a book with sharp, witty, realistic dialog. Ben and Adam have great banter (as does everyone else) with the right amount of “I’m really not used to sharing my feelings but I guess I better start or this is all going to fall apart” dude reluctance.

I liked both MCs a lot and I enjoyed their growth, both as a couple and as individuals.

Adam’s Song is long, but everything is so well done that the investment of time/money is totally worth it.

My quibbles are as follows:

Though I LOVED the sharp, witty dialog between all the characters, it was almost too perfect. Not everyone is that “on it” with the clever comebacks all the time. That said, I have never liked a conversation about broccoli as much as I liked the one Ben and Adam have near the end of the book.

Ben was almost too perfect. His “flaw” wasn’t really even a flaw. He’s too supportive? That’s like saying “I work too hard” when they ask you to list a negative quality about yourself in a job interview. Ben realizes he’s bi with no internal angst at all. It’s as easy as picking up his dry cleaning. He also jumps into the deep end of the gaysex pool with a running leap. It would have been more realistic if he’d been a little more uncertain/hesitant about some of the biggies (whispers...rimming...whispers). The sexytimes are SUPER hot. It takes a while to get to them, but they are worth it and I never felt like I was missing anything in the first half of the book.

Also, Ben wouldn’t have made THAT much money on his first album and tour. First albums and tours are mostly about paying the record label back for the upfront money they spent making/releasing/promoting your album. But I liked most of the other music-related bits.
