False Comeback by Lily Mayne: a glowing recommendation
Are you feeling down and in a slump? Do you want to sizzle up your neurons with some good sexual tension and hot smut? It's finally here, folks!
Presenting: {False Comeback by Lily Mayne}
Book 4 in the Goliaths of Wrestling Series is out, and it is the best of the lot so far. The balance of humor, sex, tension, and angst was perfect. In a way, it is indeed a comeback, as book 3 was unfortunately the one I liked the least (out of Lily Mayne's entire body of work as well).
Crossbody and Vince embody the best of the enemies-to-lovers trope, with hate sex and wonderfully done degradation kink woven through. It was so exhilarating to see them fall in love and navigate the necessary personal growth to realize and achieve their goals.
I adored Crossbody, who reminds me of Laurent from Captive Prince--if he was a big slutty submissive. And Vince was a sexy, grouchy, caretaking, rough-around-the-edges guy who pushed all my bad boy buttons.
Miss Lily Mayne cooked with this one. Just such a solid, already iconic story. I laughed and blushed and squealed and snorted.
This novel reminded me, in differing ways, of:
{Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid}
{Matehub: Legend by Marie Raynard}
{Pretty Boy by Brianna Flores}
{Iced Out by CE Ricci}
So far, this was my favorite in the series. Just so well done and perfectly balanced. Next would be book 1, 2, and then 3 in my ranking.
I'm tempted to do fanart for this omg maybe I will 🙈
