Description

Giles and Marcello are as different as two gym bros can get, yet they find themselves drawn together in the most unexpected ways. Giles navigates the world with the constant hum of ADHD and the rigid pull of OCD, while Marcello lives with an ease that feels like a magnetic pull. What begins as a tentative friendship forged in the weight room quickly shifts into something electric, complicated, and deeply profound. This story captures the rare, beautiful intersection of intense physical chemistry and genuine, soul-deep affection. As their dynamic evolves from gym partners to something far more intimate, they must reconcile their pasts and their identities to make room for one another. It is a slow-burn journey toward vulnerability that hits every mark for readers seeking high-heat spice balanced by an overflowing, heart-melting sweetness. With an authentic portrayal of neurodivergence and a tender exploration of bi and pansexual identity, this romance stands out as a must-read for anyone who loves the tension of a rivals-to-lovers dynamic softened by true companionship. It is funny, incredibly hot, and deeply moving, proving that sometimes the person you least expect is the one who finally helps you find your rhythm.

incredibly sweet

I’ve been trying to find deep, loving, and HOT stories since binging Heated Rivalry. This ticked every box! It was incredibly sweet, very open and understanding in how difficult dealing with past trauma can be. I loved how open the characters were as well. All in all, a delightful read.

beautiful story

Few books have the perfect mix of everything but this is one of those that did. I normally can pick up books and put them down, not insanely in love with the story but this one kept me. I loved the characters and it was very well written.

all the stars!

This book was so incredibly well written and I literally read it in half a day. I love Ruth and Rowan’s story and the way they love each other. Both characters are so relatable and real that nothing in their story feels rushed or forced so the storyline just flows so well. I feel like the author did an amazing job at making this the perfect blend of swoon worthy banter and emotion between the main characters that it was impossible not to love them. I’m always a sucker for man who can’t stand to see his girl cry and the fact that Rowan is so down bad for her once the feelings click on his end that it makes him want to cry just did me in every time I read one of those scenes.
