Something about this series that Lily Mayne does so well is the way the MCs developing feelings (rather inconveniently) is progressing the relationship through sex. And honestly, I think that’s a hard thing to do and do well but Lily does it SO WELL in this series!

Vince and Crossbody do not like each other. At all. They know it. The wrestlers know it. The fans know it. We know it. Like true work place enemies that cannot stand each other’s existence. But both of them are just Insecure And Afraid To Be Vulnerable™️. Arguably my favorite dynamic.

Vince and Crossbody are just incredibly sweet together. Both with vulnerabilities that have prevented them from being friends prior to this (Vince intimidated by their class difference/history of being looked down on for his childhood, Crossbody not really knowing how to make real connections or be vulnerable after a life raised in his mother’s court). It was incredibly angsty up until the last 15% or so and my emotions were being squished around like it was in a washing machine on high. Really, both of them are afraid to admit their feelings because “WHAT IF HE REJECTS ME” and we see so much of their connection happen in the bedroom. So seeing that emotional vulnerability finally bleed outside of the bedroom had me screeching internally.

Sweet on top of Angsty on top of horny on top of hysterical.

Definitely my favorite addition to the series (sorry Seb and Larkin) and I am HYPE for book 5! Bring on creepy hotel incubus and B Were. :)

Friends, fae, ghouls, weres and wrestlers of all species… Lily Mayne has yet again smashed it out the park with another amazing instalment in the Goliaths of Wrestling series!

Vince thinks that High Lord Crossbody, a royal fae wrestler, is a dick. He’s a gorgeous, snooty, sexy, awful, glorious, terrible person. Vince hates him, his snobby manner and rich upbringing - hates him so much that he can’t stop thinking about him and picking fights whenever he can.

Crossbody hates Vince, aka The Rolling Rimmer, a ghoul wrestler with a rollerskating disco persona. How uncouth. He’s maddening with his perfect bone structure and sweeping hair and terrible personality. Ugh, just the worst.

But when the feud between these two causes them to almost tank a live wrestling match, their hatred for each other bubbles over… and how better to take your anger out on someone than to hate-fuck them into submission?

But there’s more brewing below the surface. Crossbody is hiding a terrible secret and Vince realises that in order to not loose his… arch nemesis, let’s call it that… he has to call in some serious favours to help the asshole fae out.
