Safe: An MM Bully Romance (King's Heart Book 1)

"Did you know that your face glitters when you cry? I'm serious. Your tears are like diamonds. They reflect all the light. You make everything brighter in my life. Even in your sadness." "Because you settle me. Because you feed a deep part of me that I thought had been killed off. I don't understand it, but you do. And I need it. I need that feeling. You make me feel safe. Safe. Safe. Safe. Safe." WOW, this book was amazing! This is definitely a top book of 2025 for me. This is also one of the best MM bully books I have ever read. This had all the best troupes as well! Bully romance, bi awakening, enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and jock/jock. This tells the story of Grant and Landon. They first met at 10 years old and Grant hated him at first sight. Grant ended up getting Landon's mother fired and they didn't see each other until 8 years later at school. They're both on the football team and Grant continues to bully him horribly. Sparks fly, fists fly, and the sexual tension is through the roof 🥵🥵🥵. My heart breaks for poor Grant. You can tell he lives with deep-seated trauma and that's why he is the way he is. He self destructs fast and lashes out heavy, but in reality, he's scared and just wants love and to feel safe. Landon is such a protector and fights for those he loves, including Grant. The spicy scenes were 🔥🔥🔥🔥. The dirty mouth on Landon. I loved the power exchange in their relationship as well. I can't wait for Javi…

I devoured this in one sitting 😍 this is what I want out of a bully romance. Grant is one of those characters that is tough to swallow at first. He’s extremely cruel and cold but once you get to his very first chapter you know his actions aren’t unjustified in his eyes 😭 Landon is a golden boy who makes it his mission to help those he cares about any way he can. Watching him slowly scale and break down Grant’s walls made my heart melt 🥹 when I started this book I wasn’t expecting the dynamic between Landon and Grant to be what it was (especially during their spicy times ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥) but it was so fitting for them and exactly what they needed. I loved the way that everything worked out in this book. “Your soul doesn’t need this. But mine does” I was SHOOK. I audibly screamed “GO LANDON” He truly is the definition of doing whatever it takes to protect the man he loves. 🖤🖤🖤 I fear I need a book on Javi and Declan. I need to know what is going on between those two 🤣
