Even though this book is a standalone, it picks up right where the first book leaves off with Brooks turning up at Ben's gym after being sent there by Ben's ex-wife. Brooks is an influencer and cam boy who is being stalked by an overzealous/possessive follower and Summer thought Ben and crew might be able to help. Ben's tapping out, though, and in steps his brother Roman to take over protector duties.
Brooks and Roman had a tumultuous start. Roman was kind of a dick and could be a little overbearing and Brooks was not interested in being steamrolled. But they eventually reach an understanding and begin to actually like one another and work together to try to take down Brooks' stalker.
I think I liked the first book a little better but overall I enjoyed this one too. There was an element of suspense as they tried to figure out the stalker situation. Although, I thought there were a few missteps in that storyline. And once Brooks and Roman stopped butting heads, they had good chemistry and there were some good spicy scenes in this one.
I listened to the audiobook and much like the first one, I wish the narrators had been swapped. Stephen Dexter would have been so perfect for Roman, but alas...
