Call It Desire (One For All #1)


Here's Maya Jean's "Call It Desire." It's the first novel in her new One For All U series.

["Dante
Life is a constant repeat of classes, missions, and ensuring my brothers-in-arms don’t get blood on their clothes and bring it home for me to clean up. For the past few years, I’ve been part of a crew that takes from the bad guys and returns it to the good. It’s an unknown, thankless job, though. But when I catch sight of a dazed, platinum blond twink during one almost-blown-to-shreds mission, life takes an instant turn. Reid might not know it yet, but he’s mine, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep him.

Reid
If I chase danger enough, maybe danger will do me in. That’s been the motto since my parent’s death a few years ago. Drugs. Alcohol. Random men in clubs. Until a tall drink of water named Dante enters my life and tries to call all the shots. Fat chance I’ll let him. But for some reason, I can’t help but fall to pieces for Dante. Hopefully, he’ll put me back together. Well, if he doesn’t get me killed first."]

I did not necessarily see Maya Jean as a dark romance writer...and yet, I'm here for it. Especially these two, this dynamic. They were hot like oil and fire, and their chemistry was just as hot. It was electric. They completed each other in some many ways, their traumas and their desires meshing into a perfect relationship (somehow). 

I canNOT wait for the rest of these men to find their HEA. We, for the most part (unless there’s a twist or two), know how the future couples will be, but we have to wait for them. Plus the overall plot tying the men and the series together. I always say this, but it’s giving slightly Mulvaney vibes (in the vigilante avengers vibe—and the obsessive as hell, imprinting on others way).

Trigger Warnings: on-page murder, kidnapping, torture, past drug-use & self-harm, past death of parents, mutual stalking, survivor's guilt, vomiting, panic attack, claustrophobia, and more.
