R.A.Frick‘s attention to gender fluidity strikes again with this intensely captivating novella, For You!! Their ability to draw in readers with word choice is nothing short of amazing!
From the blurb:
Felix was Dominant in life, always needing to be in charge as the boss of the Kiselov crime family in San Francisco. Except in sex and kink. A bottom in denial of both sexuality and gender identity, Felix tells no one.
Maksim was a gay Daddy, and also guard to the leader of the Kiselov crime family. When Felix is outed publicly, then goes missing, it's up to Maksim to find out who did it and how to save the Boss he likes a little too much to be professional...
Can the closeted Russian Mafia Boss and his gay bodyguard survive and find love?

Another enticing addition to R.A.’s X Club series, with a little mafia twist! R.A. continues with their intense variety of characters, diving further into non-binary and gender fluidity. The knowledge shown through the pages are exceptionally well and the hate was handled caution and professionalism. Didn’t really except anything less from such an inclusive author!
“𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲. 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵?”
Oh Felix! I loved their character in For Keeps, loved them even my with this one! And Maksim! What a gentle giant! Their chemistry was intensely bizarre with an insane connection, I mean they did grow up together so that’s a huge positive. But, how he was with Felix, succumbing to his wishes and desires was another incredible!

Super excited for Officer Maxx!!! "

Heather's Review:
I am so glad we got to read Felix's HEA! He was such an interesting side character in book 1 and the catalyst for so much that happened in that book, that I always wanted to learn more about what made them tick! I also love that they end up with Maksim!
Unlike the rest of the series, For You is a novella, but honestly, it doesn't take away anything by being that length - RA Frick is able to tell the full story and include some great kink scenes in between the Russian Mob drama that Felix faces...
This book also gives us more of a chance to ogle Maxx... and I'm totally down for his story!
Please heed the trigger warnings in the blurb if you have sensitivities.
