4.6 stars. I don't know what it was about this book, but it really gripped me. Maybe it was the pining. Maybe it was the vulnerability of the characters, but I loved this book!

Will definitely be reading the rest of the series.

Absolutely Loved

Savage Rivals is a perfect enemies to lovers story about Asher and Levi. I immediately found myself intrigued by both of the characters and wanting to know what was going to happen between the two of them.

There was obvious chemistry between the two
of them from beginning but when they acted on those feelings it was truly an amazing thing. I loved that neither of the characters freaked out about how they were feeling and didn’t push each other away or deny anything.

It was truly an outstanding story and was super well written. The

Yet again, Becca Steele gets ALL THE FRIGGIN STARS!!!

This is an adorable entry level book in mm romance. The sweetest boys

Rated 3.5
I received this book as an ARC and this is my first book by this author.


2 Boys on opposite teams with a rivalry that extends to verbal abuse, threats and physical violence .
Oh and let’s not forget the good parts…tension, attraction and *shudder*…*whispers*..feelings!

I liked and disliked things about this book and the reason there are parts that I disliked stems purely from the fact that I struggle to switch off when something goes beyond the realistic. Many people are able to do it and I know myself that once I can that I will enjoy a book more.

On this occasion I powered through and was left reasonably satisfied with the result.

A lot of this book is far fetched. The boys are 18 and there are practically no adults in sight. There is destruction of property, breaking and entering , assault and possession of deadly weapons to name a few! However what this book doesn’t contain is homophobia which was great to see in a book about a couple of young guys with a gay-for-you rivalry theme and as I said above, once I managed to look past some of the more excessive things, I found myself enjoying the tension and sexual attraction between both MC’s. Surprisingly some of this book turned sweet towards the end and it was nice to see supportive friends and family!

I’d happy give this author another go.
