She has this way ofWhen I first read hostile by Nicole, she instantly became a favorite author of mine. Each book I read of hers slowly cements that. She has this way of creating love stories that both make you swoon and want to reach out and hug her characters.
The way she touches on hard topics and trauma is something she does exceedingly well and this book is no different. BNB is the first book of an interconnected series that revolves around Ben and Colby.
Our guys have some trauma and with that some struggles I think we can all relate to in our own ways. Yet, even when reading this book and their journey of healing as individuals and together you can’t help but to smile. I love these two together. This book fits its title. It’s about two bruised souls fighting their demons and coming together for a love that makes you want to cry.
I can’t wait for the next installment in this series. If you’re ready for some tender hearted love, healing, and a dash of spice I recommend this read wholeheartedly.
Nicole blew me away with hostile so I had to take a dive into the rabbit hole to check out her other books. Totally schooled is an MM stand-alone featNicole blew me away with hostile so I had to take a dive into the rabbit hole to check out her other books. Totally schooled is an MM stand-alone featuring an adorable single dad and a kindergarten teacher.
Rafe and Nolan immediately pulled at my heart. Both Rafe and Nolan have suffered hardships that broke my heart. I think before each other they were these lost souls, and when they found each other? It was like watching two destined soul mates come together. Their story was absolutely heart wrenching and beautiful.
Rafe was complicated for understandable reasons and it broke my heart. Nolan was scared and unsure at times. It worked though. These characters just felt so real to me. There was so much depth to who they were on page.
If you’re ready for a swoon worthy, emotional, heart wrenching, beautiful love story that includes an adorable little girl then I highly recommend you add this to your TBR.
This book does touch on some sensitive topics so please be mindful. ❤️ ...more
This is my first book by Nicole Dykes and she broke me and put me back together in the best ways with these characters.
My poor sweet Rhett. I feel liThis is my first book by Nicole Dykes and she broke me and put me back together in the best ways with these characters.
My poor sweet Rhett. I feel like we share the same soul to a certain extent. Do you ever just get that rush of emotion when you see a character that shares the same thoughts and struggles as you do? Because that’s how I felt with Rhett. This book opens with him and I’m so glad it did because he immediately pulled me into this story. You can tell from the beginning he is struggling with imposter syndrome as well as depression. He is struggling to be ok and to realize it’s ok to not be ok. I want to hug him. He brought tears to my eyes and I was 3% into those book. If that doesn’t tell you how captivated I was let me continue…
Grayson is introduced next and I love him too! Let me tell you, I’m about to adopt all these guys into my heart because they are my family now. Grayson is struggling to feel apart of his peers and friend group who only see one side of him and expect him to fit into some stereotypical athlete norm. His parents are also forcing their expectations on him and he feels lost. However, he is so much more than what people see when they look at him. Grayson brings so much depth and heart to this book. He is such a sweetheart and he really is the light to Rhetts dark. Also- I immediately swooned when he found himself in a Rhett inner monologue fog.
“There’s no denying my insane attraction to this painfully elusive, beautiful boy. And no part of me wants to fight it.”
This book was so much more than a romance. It was a journey of self acceptance, of self love, of accepting who you love, and so much more. It was about these characters finding their way above the water they were drowning in and finding solace in each other. This book was so heartwarming and emotional and I’m honestly honored I got to be apart of Rhett and Graysons journey. Nicole truly knocked this book out of the park and I’m a fan for life.
If you’re ready to be all up in your feels and read a book that’s going to take you on an emotional and heartwarming journey then read this book. I truly cannot recommend it enough.
