One More Touch (One For All #2)

Here's Maya Jean's "One More Touch." It's the second novel in her new One For All series.

["Parker
Everything is falling into place. My brothers-in-arms and I are taking down bad guys, and I get extra side missions from our benefactor that scratch my constant itch to avenge those who have been wronged. But what I don’t expect is for Mason, Reid’s older brother, to throw a massive wrench in one of my missions. He’s there, he’s everywhere, and I don’t know what it means when my heart thumps dangerously at the sight of him. I want to keep Mason safe, even if it means I take the fall for his crimes. 

Mason
I’m not going to ever let anyone hurt Reid, not again, not after the death of our parents. Does that mean I have to commit a crime that sends my anxiety spiraling in a way it never has before? Absolutely. But when my crime derails not just my life, but Parker’s, and the other boys’, nothing is as easy as it seems. Parker is going to protect me at all costs, and suddenly I’m willing to do the same. We might all go down, but we’ll go down together, even as we begin to unravel the secret that is their mysterious benefactor, Robin. "]

This story was fabulous. Just as glorious and unhinged and not-what-it-seems hot-mess of a good time that the first novel was. And the third novel? It's credibility and mental health is rapidly decreasing as we speak (even though it's not even finished yet).

These two were adorable. We all knew they were obsessed with each other, going to eventually make it to a HEA. The timeline of that in this novel was adorable. Side-line looks and secret feelings suddenly shift into full-on-love and perfection. They helped each other love, heal, and grow...as other things descended into madness. 

Trigger Warnings:  murder, blood, gun violence, mentions of sex trafficking, mentions of bad guys being sexual predators to underage women, obsessive compulsive disorder that severely limits a characters life, anxiety spiral due to being triggered, obsessive cleaning, spiraling thoughts, fear of germs and being touched (contamination fear), childhood cancer and mentions of past treatments and hospitalizations, arrest of a major character, injury to a major character, past parental death, and more.
