I was, however, willing to suspend my disbelief at this for the sake of moving the story forward.

4.5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌙

I do note that there were a couple of scenes/scenarios that didn't quite read right to me, primarily an accident and the character's apparent rapid recovery from this accident which would be months and months of healing, probable multiple surgeries and physiotherapy if this happened in real life.

Mason and Silas are both secretive characters by nature, and are involved in something inherently dangerous, inherently evil, and shady AF. They take the reader on quite the journey, and I'm already eagerly anticipating the next book.

4. The way the environment and atmosphere in which the characters live is practically a character if its own.

This is true of all of her books and is again very evident in Man of Lies, the second book in the Vendetta Kings series.

2. The way she build these MC's love for one another, and how this love lifts the MCs to be better men;
3. The way she weaves mystery with romance, and keeps you, the reader, on your toes; and,

Rough Trade is a sex positive, poignant MM escort romance w themes of acceptance, voyeurism, being a survivor of trauma, hurt/comfort.

It is an emotional, beautiful, deep love story. Please read the content warnings.

The puns, the banter, the swings & misses, the joy, sometimes the sheer ridiculousness of Brad's gym-bro golden retriever enthusiasm was so much fun to read. I felt happy the whole time I was reading this, & it can be such a precious gift that an author is able to engage the reader in such a way.

10 Ways to Accidentally Fall in Love by @emmysanders.bsky.social has kept me happily rugged up on my sofa today, fully swept up in the dance of love that is Joey and Brad.

I was equally charmed, entertained, delighted and in fits of laughter reading their love story.

I can feel the corduroy of the orange/brown sofas, smell the librarian's perfume & sense the magic of all words & worlds built housed within. It was a safe place. If I could be go back in time to a single place, that library would be at the top of my list.
Libraries are important. Never forget that
