Never Just Friends is a five-book M/M romance series by Saxon James, all published between 2020 and 2021. The series is built around the friends-to-lovers trope, with each title riffing on the concept of friendship: Just Friends, Fake Friends, Getting Friendly, Friendly Fire, and Friends with Benefits.
Each book follows a different pair of men whose friendship reaches a tipping point, and the series title announces the outcome from the start — these men were never going to stay just friends.
