Athletes + BDSM + age gap = a Dani very happy. YEY!
Andrews nailed it with this story. I don’t even care that I didn’t understand a shit when they were talking about baseball (I know, my bad. Not a big fan of baseball.)
If you are not a big fan of baseball either, let me warn you that the first 35% is mostly about that. The beginning is SLOW and after 45% is when the romance starts to pick up. However, that didn’t stop me from enjoying this story.
Andrews wrote beautiful characters in this one. The MCs were splendid. Jake is 35 years old baseball player that is not so eager about baseball anymore… until he’s traded and he starts spending time with Nico. God, those two together are hot and sweet! Jake is super overprotective and he cares so much about Nico’s well-being that melts my heart. Nico has lots of issues but he kinda overcomes them thanks to Jake.
This story involves so much more than just sex and romance. It’s about acceptance. Accepting who you are and accepting those that are around you. Even if you have some retrograde thoughts *cough* Nico’s Dad *cough*. It’s also about healing and reconciling with those you once hurt (because you were being a completely and jealous asshole.)
Jake and Nico’s journey is not easy. There’s angst, guilt and self-loathing. So be prepared.
Finally, I have to say that the writing was fantastic, everything felt so real that it made me enjoy this story so much. Andrews did an awesome job with Nico’s family. I liked their interactions. I adored Val, she was so supportive and sweet and I liked learning more about Nico’s dad.
This is the second book that I read from Andrews and I must say she doesn’t need to write about zombies to do a great job.
I needed a moment to gather my thought because this book definitely blew my mind.

5 HOT AND DIRTY STARS.
This was one of the best enemies to lovers story that I've ever read. Erickson and Hassel did an awesome job with this book.
Beau and Zane are both Youtuber that hates each other. You can say they’re opposite poles because Zane is blunt af, he shares too much on his Youtube Channel as TrashyZane, he’s way too honest and genuine while Beau is just the opposite, he’s a bit phony because he uses his channel, his brand as “Beau Starr” to pretend he doesn’t have a messy past. He considers his Youtube persona as a better version of him that cannot be touch or bother.
After Beau bugs Zane on a colab in another channel, Zane retaliate against him on his channel. And after that, things get messy between them. Like, LITERALLY.
Zane claims that he would “pass” Beau because he is the representation of “vanilla sex” and OH. MY. GASH. He couldn’t have been more wrong.
Beau obviously does not want to get tangled with Zane, but let’s be honest. Who can resist a bad boy with long hair? WHO!?

Well, Beau tried. He swears he doesn’t have a type, but his body knows best because when he sees Zane he can’t help himself even when Zane brings unpleasant memories to Beau about his past boyfriend.
[…]“Taking care of him had almost cost me everything.”
And when they see each other on that gamer’s convention, they don’t waste time getting into each other skin and this is what happened when they were alone:

[…] “He tasted like alcohol, pop rocks, and bad decisions.”
And this is what happened to me:

Is hot in here or is it me?
Beau was nothing I expected; I didn't imagine he'll have such a dirty and bossy side. The glimpses we got from him on Hard Wired didn’t prepare me for this. I was surprised and delighted with this side of him.

Their hate sex moment was… Epic!
This book cannot be read in public or when your mom is nearby. NO, DON’T EVEN TRY IT.
We got rough and dirty sex with clothes being ripped, spanks, bondages and blindfolds. *sigh*
My kindle was going to get on fire with these two horny boys!
“I was fucking done. He had destroyed me, and I’d loved every minute of it.”
This book is STEAMY af.
But not everything in life is about good sex, they have some personal issues to overcome, and there are some broken hearts in this story but this wasn’t angsty. I’m not saying there’s not angst at all, there is just a bit of it because they had a ‘minor’ problem at the end but they solved it pretty quickly.
It’s a fast read, I devoured in one sitting. I really enjoyed this story. Zane and Beau are amazing characters and I really loved seeing how their connection developed through their encounters.
[…]“I’d gone from craving Zane’s body to also craving his presence, his texts, his attention.”
Their enemies to lovers transition was pretty well elaborated. I loved how they broke their prejudice and got to know and LIKE each other and I loved that they proved they have more under their Youtuber surface.
“I was still reconciling the Zane I’d originally thought he was with the one I was falling for, the one I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I’d be a judgmental asshole.”
This is an amazing series and I can’t wait to see if Megan and Santino will keep lighting up our lives with their stories. I’m having a hard time deciding if they will be occupied Kai and Garret’s as my favorite characters of this series but I guess they’ll have to share the spot because this is a difficult decision!
