My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Rett is seconds from death when a mysterious, smoking, shadow‑stepping guardian stranger saves him. Rett thinks he’ll never see him again — until the man reappears right as Rett is about to give up, sticking close, causing chaos, and calling him “pipgeek” for reasons unknown. With a drug lord calling in a dangerous favor Rett owes, things spiral fast. Having a hero with a villain complex glued to his side might keep him alive… but protecting his heart is a much harder fight.
I loved this story with the undeniable connection between Rett and his shadowy hero was gripping from the start, and the humour had me laughing out loud more than once. Rett’s tough, guardian might act like a hardened fighter, but he has a soft centre just for Rett, and that contrast made their dynamic irresistible. The plot was packed with danger and drama, especially as Rett kept stumbling into trouble and his hero kept saving him in the most intense, chaotic ways. There were also some genuinely moving moments, both in the slow build of their relationship and in the revelations about Rett’s past and how he ended up living on the streets. A dramatic, emotional, and unexpectedly funny story with a bond that’s impossible to ignore and so I was swept away from start to finish. This was an MM story with mature content.
