Keaton Stafford knows exactly how dangerous Rowan Cross can be.

And it has nothing to do with what Rowan can do in the cage. 

Growing up, they were next-door neighbors and best friends. Just two boys who shared secrets, first kisses, and more. But one brutal night during their senior year of high school destroyed everything, turning them into enemies who haven’t spoken since.

After serving four years in the Air Force, Rowan returns home ready to turn years of jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and military boxing into a shot at an MMA future he’s wanted for years. He’s determined not to waste his second chance, and the last thing he expects to find is Keaton already making a name for himself at Titan Elite—or to end up as his roommate.

Training at the same gym means there’s no escape from the past between them. Every argument cuts too deep. Every glance lingers too long. Every touch sparks something far hotter than hate. 

The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend their history meant nothing. 

But attraction doesn’t erase betrayal, and old wounds don’t stay buried for long. 

For Keaton and Rowan, this fight is only the first round.

Fight Me, Break Me by Kimberly Knight & Rachel Lynn Adams is a gripping, emotional story that kept me turning pages from start to finish.
Rowan and Keaton’s relationship is intense and complicated—they were once incredibly close until a tragic event drove them apart. 

Their reunion under the same MMA coach adds tension, emotion, and a powerful sense of unfinished business.

Their story is filled with tension, emotion, and that undeniable pull between two people with a complicated past. 

Definitely a gripping read that kept me turning pages late into the night.

Under his rule, nobody is safe

Prince Julian Davaros is heir to the throne of the Lamdera Islands. He’s gorgeous, rich, famous… and just happens to be a serial killer. His family and bodyguard know his murderous proclivities, but to everyone else, he’s simply the heir apparent, loved by many. In reality, Julian can’t stand most people, he doesn’t have relationships, and if he’s alone with you it usually means you’re his next victim. However, once Wynn Carter catches his attention in a small café, Julian’s new obsession isn’t one he wants to kill but instead wants to own.

Wynn Carter has always wanted to visit the Lamdera Islands, and he’s using his thirtieth birthday as the perfect excuse. His plan is to soak up some sun, drink in the culture, and make memories with his friends. His agenda didn’t include catching the eye of the future king. Now Wynn finds himself swept up in a sort of fairytale of lavish dinners, intimate nights, and even some media attention. He doesn’t know what he did to deserve the prince’s interest, but he’s certainly not upset about it.

Unfortunately, secrets don’t stay hidden no matter how powerful you are, and when someone decides to push Julian out of the shadows by hurting the one person he wants more than anything, the quiet monster that lies within him bursts free. Julian’s and Wynn’s lives erupt into chaos, and Wynn finally discovers who Julian truly is. If he can’t live with it, the prince needs to decide whether to surrender everything… or get rid of his obsession.

Under His Rule is part of the multi-author series, In the Spotlight. 14 authors bring you 14 original stories of killers in the public eye. Where everyone is dying to be in the spotlight. Every book can be read as a standalone.

AVAILABLE NOW

This book, "Under His Rule" by Davidson King, is a quick and enjoyable read. It features strong chemistry between the main characters. Julian and Wynn meet during Wynn’s birthday trip to the Lamdera Islands, and their connection is instant—especially with Julian mysteriously showing up everywhere.

There’s also a layer of secrecy, as Julian is hiding his true nature, which adds some tension when the truth comes out. Wynn then has to decide if he can accept it and keep that secret.

Overall, an enjoyable read with romance, a bit of mystery, and possessive vibes.

When I needed a date for my sister’s wedding, my late husband’s best friend seemed like the perfect solution.

I’ve known Frasier since college, and he was my husband’s teammate on the Hollywood Hawks—LA’s pro hockey team. At least until eighteen months ago, when a tragic accident upended everything.

As my world crumbled around me, Frasier was there for me.

We’ve been through a lot together, so I suppose it isn’t surprising that Frasier has become my best friend. The person I always turn to.

Which is how I find myself asking him to be my fake date to my sister’s wedding.

But after a game of truth or dare goes too far, I realize that Frasier isn’t pretending…was never pretending.

And I’m not sure I am either.

Make you Mine is my first book by the author and it certainly won’t be my last.

It was very heartbreaking at the start, especially given the circumstances.

Bryn has had to struggle to cope with a devastating loss. The loss no one wants to have happen.

However her sister’s wedding is coming up and she needs a “date”. Frasier, her late husband’s best friend, who shes known for a long time, agrees to be her fake date!

Needless to say what happens in Anguilla, stays in Anguilla, or does it??

The rest remains to be read, so do yourself a favour and grab this book.

I loved Frasier, he was so swoony, caring and just this beautiful man with a heart of gold.

This book has so much heart in it, I had tears, I laughed and felt so many emotions just as the characters did.

A LOVE THAT COULD BURY US BOTH. 

Four years of silence, two thousand miles, and a love their parents will never forgive.

STONE It wasn’t Hanlon’s fault our parents pampered him while pushing me to the brink. But I still resented it. I left to get out of Hanlon’s orbit, to live my life without having to worry about him. Four years later, we’ve barely spoken until he shows up on the doorstep of my ski patrol office, ready to start his internship. Neither of us is thrilled. It doesn’t take long before my protective instincts kick back in, but so do the lessons I taught him all those years ago. When his independence threatens his safety, I realize my feelings for Hanlon have shifted, creating a problem bigger than any avalanche threatening this mountain.

HANLON My diagnosis left me with physical limitations most people get hung up on. Except Stone. He’s the one person who always made me feel like I could do anything. And then he left, never knowing how much his absence nearly destroyed me. I didn’t ask to be placed at Ricochet Ridge, but as Stone and I figure out how to work together, the energy between us shifts. When he finds out I’m gay, it shifts again, threatening to pull us both under.

THE RISK Their connection is a ticking time bomb. If their parents find out, the fallout will be catastrophic, tearing the family apart forever. But on the mountain, the "rules" of their family tree feel less important than the heat rising between them. Stone remains the only person who looks past Hanlon’s physical struggles to see his strength, creating an intimacy that is as healing as it is dangerous. Attraction isn’t the only danger on the mountain. With each new inch of precipitation, the snowpack weakens, threatening to break free, and while the threat of an avalanche feels metaphorical, the physical danger it poses is paramount.

Avalanche by Jillian D. Wray is an MM stepbrother romance and such a beautiful story.

Stone and Hanlon’s journey is written with real care and depth. The whole series comes together so well—especially when Hanlon starts working alongside his brother at Ricochet Ridge Ski Resort. Being together is strained at first, but once they begin to open up, with honest words and gentle touches, they start to understand what it all means.

The way Hanlon supports Stone as he tries to figure out who he truly is, is incredibly moving. Hanlon’s diagnosis also adds a really interesting and meaningful layer to the story.

Overall, a heartfelt and compelling read.
