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.
A pint-sized, pink-haired menace and a grumpy, lonely lawyer have a not-so-meet-cute with a bit of criminal activity, followed by a not-really-a-date situation. These two are quickly interested and get under each other‘s skin. Rowan had just had a really bad day and he made some impulsive and poor choices. Charlie isn’t quite sure what to think, but he’s empathetic and generally a nice guy underneath his broody exterior. And their meeting and one night together, sets off a chain of events that neither saw coming.
Rowan is absolutely not in Charlie‘s ten-year plan or the idea of a perfect, professional, tall, successful husband. But Rowan has to project his ferocious energy because he’s been surviving his whole life with no support. And somehow Charlie can see that. They’re definitely an unlikely match, but not an unlikable one. I actually liked them together and how they challenged and made each other feel alive. They both had been lonely, but also kind of stuck in their own lives.

I loved how these two could really see each other and would open up and be vulnerable. And the trust that they show each other from the beginning is maybe ill-advised, but it just helps cement their connection quickly. I loved how Rowan just shook up Charlie’s life and made him take an even closer look at why he was feeling kind of lost and apathetic. And even though Rowan isn’t the perfect man that he’s always thought he needed, Charlie didn’t fight the pull to him very much. And I loved that Charlie gave Rowan a sense of safety, security, protection, care, and possessiveness. And he accepted Rowan when he was at his lowest and had nothing to give but the physical release and his own heart.
These two are wildly passionate, kind of obsessed, and were both just so starved for real personal attention and love. These guys balance each other nicely and seemed to come into each other’s lives at just the right time. Surprises make things more complicated, and together they navigate unexpected changes and at least have somebody by their side.
This is about a lovable lost boy menace finding a new life with a lonely, grumpy lawyer finding not what he thought he wanted, but everything he needed.
It brings back cameos from this series. I have enjoyed this whole series and am sad to see it end. But I am intrigued by what is coming next.
