Not sure WHAT I'm really in the mood to read, but I suppose crossing something off an older TBR list is better than nothing? Here is Onley James's "Exasperating." It's the third novel in her Elite Protection Services series.
["What he craves is attention.
CALDER SETON is an unapologetic manwhore. Former Texas Ranger turned private security agent for Elite, he’s an expert at keeping his heart to himself. His employer wishes he’d do the same for his body. Calder has a habit of sleeping with Elite’s clients and they’ve told him to keep it in his pants or find a new job. That’s fine with Calder. He has a new playmate anyway, virginal actor Robby Shaw.
ROBBY SHAW spent most of his life sheltered from the world until he lands a role in an LA kid’s show and becomes the fake boyfriend of A-list actor, Elijah Dunne. When that relationship ends in humiliation and heartache, Robby meltdowns epically, landing him in county lockup and on the radar of Calder Seton, who he hasn’t seen in over a month.
A sizzling hookup leaves both Robby and Calder questioning their life choices, and when Robby’s life is threatened, Calder doesn’t hesitate to step in, free of charge. Unfortunately, Robby hires Elite before he can volunteer, putting himself on Calder’s list of untouchables until they can solve a murder.
The rules of Romancelandia state only a virgin can tame a manwhore, but both Robby and Calder have a pile of baggage and everything from a cult to anonymous killers standing in their way. Can they find a way to heal from their pasts so they can have a future?"]
BUT is Romancelandia wrong? Because I don't think it is (and neither does Wyatt or Charlie, whose idea it was in the first place). Robby wouldn't disagree either (nor would Calder, after he took his head out of his own ass).
The triggers are heeeeavy near the end. These two figured out their romance pretty quick, but the anonymous killers and past heartbreaks and fucking cults are a lot. A lot a lot. So be warned.
Trigger Warnings: past childhood abuse, cult shit, hate and abuse masked as religion, attempted mass ‘suicide’/murder, sex/human trafficking, and more.
