When a scrawny, pink-haired ragamuffin tries to rob me at knifepoint, I respond the way any sensible person would and invite him to dinner—where he proceeds to threaten my entire ten-year plan simply by being his effervescent self. Much to my annoyance.
There’s no room in my life for a gorgeous criminal named Rowan. I need to check off the next item on my list: Find the right, respectable husband. I can’t be an accessory to a life of crime.
And yet, my perfect plan’s been a bust. Yes, I have millions of social media followers, a prestigious job, and an expensive car, but I’m realizing I want more from life. My casual hookups aren’t making me happy. I’m … lonely.
While Rowan’s a tattooed menace, he does something to my heart, and I can’t seem to stay away from him. Let’s not get started on how I like seeing my marks on him. Everywhere.
Rowan isn’t who I’m looking for, but it seems he’s not who we think he is, either. Which creates an entirely different set of problems with much, much higher stakes.
I’m in way too deep to get out. If I even want to.
Ferocious is a stand-alone contemporary M/M romance about Rowan, a rideshare-driving twink with a penchant for violence, and Charlie, a grumpy lawyer. It features first times, primal play, kidnapping and other crimes, and a philodendron that likes to ride in the car. HEA? Definitely.
Deanna’s Review: 5⭐️
Let me begin by saying that if you are not one who typically reads the author’s note at the beginning of a book, take the time to read this one. You won’t be disappointed.
Ferocious is the sixth book in Leslie McAdams’s IOU series and follows Rowan and Charlie on their journey to their happily ever after. Much like the rest of the books in this series, I took my time with this one. I knew I’d want to savor it and really immerse myself.
I’ve seen Rowan and Charlie’s meeting referred to as a meet-cut, and that is so accurate! Because the logical thing to do when a pink-haired twink tries to mug you at knifepoint is to take him to dinner. And don’t get me started on the names Charlie has for Rowan!
This book had me snort-laughing and crying, and feeling all of the feels I’ve become used to feeling when reading this series.
Some of the names Charlie has for Rowan:
Feral guttersnipe
Pint-sized terror
Urchin
Little menace
Little gremlin
Devil with an angel face
Favorite quotes:
“So you’re just gonna Donald Duck it?” (The way I snort-laughed at this one.)
“Aww, this is where we met!”
“Fond memories of the scene of the crime?”
“Absolutely.”
“Take your hand off my boyfriend before I chop it off.”
For the love of all that is good in this world, head on over to the Zon and check this out on KU -> HERE. If you’re currently boycotting the Zon, you can get signed paperbacks from Leslie’s site -> HERE. And I’ll just be waiting for the book box… manifesting, if you will.
