Product Description Two very different couples. Two very different lives. Yet somehow they manage to keep things between friends. Schoolteacher Jason and Harry the cop have a pretty good life together. Or at least they always have in the past. When Harry starts acting strangely, withdrawing from Jason and displaying bouts of mysterious anger, Jason starts to wonder if hes losing his hold on what he and Harry share. He turns to his friend Samuel, a college roommate, for a little moral support. Antique dealer Samuel has enough on his plate, buying a new house with his lover, Peter, and keeping up with their inventive love life. Luckily for Jason, Samuels lover, Peter, is also a good friend of Harrys. When Peter hears about the troubles between Harry and Jason, he forces Harry to confront his demons, and to give Jason the chance to help. Can Harry and Jason come to terms with secrets that might change their lives forever? With Samuel and Peters help, they just might, as they find out what friends are for, and what it means to let someone help share the load. Sean Michael creates a finely woven web of friendship, where two couples and two sets of friends become family, and where the intricate dance of everyday life comes alive in the most beautiful way.

This one from Sean is all heart! August 4, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This story from Sean has the right balance between hot loving sex and emotional content. The 2 couples here are most appealing, a Dom with his caring and hyper Sub who swears and loves to cook, and a cop hunk with his loving professor. Peter and Sammy are of course into hot BDSM while Jase and Harry who have been together for a long time are the good old fashion but no less loving couple. These 4 men are very close friends and care for each other deeply. Their lives are marred by a terrible rape which happened to one of them. This story is all heart as it describes movingly and emotionally how each one deals with the ordeal while at the same time helping each other to heal. I love the chemistry and stirring interaction among the 4 guys and would love to read more about them. A great one from Sean about true friendship as much as about love.
Between Friends- A Joyfully Recommended Title January 20, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Samuel and Peter are lovers. Their best friends Harry and Jason are also lovers. Sammy depends on Peter to keep him in line and Jason is the rock that helps Harry stay strong.
A horrific act changed Harry's life forever. Jase, Peter and Sammy helped him then, and when the past comes back to haunt him, it's his lover and friends that see him through once again.
The realism, characterization and storyline in Between Friends is amazing. Peter and Sammy, and Harry and Jase are perfectly paired. Harry's ordeal brought me to tears at times, especially at the end, but then they were happy tears. Between Friends is a poignant story with heartache, hot sex and incredible love.

Could have been really good June 9, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the first Sean Michael book I've read and I really didn't know what to expect. He's certainly a competent writer. The characters are developed nicely and well-defined. The problem I had with the book was the constant explicit sex. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude and well-written sex scenes can certainly add to a work. However, the sex scenes out-weigh the plot and that's a problem. This is one of those cases where less is certainly more. We needed more plot development. The major conflict was never really dealt with. I found myself skimming through the sex scenes to get to more plot material. The book left me unsatisfied. That's a shame. It could have been a really good book.
4.5 blue ribbon Romance Junkies review February 10, 2008 Samuel and Peter's move from their apartment to a real home has Samuel more than a little rattled. There are so many things that could go wrong and what if they aren't happy. The simple fact that their friends Harry and Jason live within walking distance of their new home is a huge bonus. Both couples are vastly different but they're the best of friends and have always been able to count on each other's support to get them through any crisis.
Samuel (a.k.a. Laffy) is often high-strung but Peter's dominance and mastery provides the grounding he needs and he couldn't be happier with anyone else. Once they're settled into their new home, it becomes apparent that all is not hunky-dory between Harry and Jason. Jason confides in Samuel that he is concerned over Harry's recent distraction. Luckily Harry and Peter are good friends so Harry has someone to express his worries as well as his reasoning for not sharing his concerns with Jason. Peter encourages Harry to talk to Jason and let him know what's going on, but Harry isn't willing to admit that he needs Jason's help to get through his upcoming ordeal.
As you read this book you'll wonder how you could possibly live without friends like these. They're there for each other through each ordeal and even egg each other on into doing some unexpectedly funny things like the spirited bowling team they form. The friendship between these two couples really struck a cord with me. They're honest with each other to the point where anger and laughter often combine to make these characters feel very real. Sean Michaels' BETWEEN FRIENDS goes beyond your normal one couple relationship stories . . . this book gives you two couples you'll love reading about and especially enjoy learning about their unique relationships - both as couples and simply as friends.
