Cheap Heat (Goliaths of Wrestling Book 3) by Lily Mayne


Cheap Heat is the 3rd book in the Goliaths of Wrestling series and this romance stars one of the actual wrestlers on the team! You can expect lots of bantering, learning the many ways one can use a removable head to their advantage, and of course the hilarious juvenile humor this series is known for!


From the blurb:

Rafe

I really, really don’t like my neighbour.

We’ve lived next door to each other for three years, and we couldn’t be more opposite. I’m a quiet, introverted ghoul with a small friend group and a love of true crime podcasts and tabletop role-playing games. Dan Ewen a party boy with an endless string of ‘guests’ who likes to blare country music all night. He’s loud, inconsiderate, messy, loud, a total dudebro… did I mention loud?

And when I start my new job as IT manager at Goliaths of Wrestling, an underground supernatural wrestling organisation, I quickly discover that my terrible dullahan neighbour is now my new colleague. Great.

I still don’t like him. It doesn’t change anything. I can avoid him at work. But when I spot him one night through his living room window doing something that is utterly shocking, obscene, really weird… I find myself thinking about my annoying neighbour. A lot.

All the time, actually.

Oh no.

Dan
That neighbour of mine is a cute, surly ghoul whose pretty green eyes and angry scowl just make me want to rile him up even more.

We’ve never really been buddies, despite living side by side for three years. But when he starts working at Goliaths as our IT manager, helping to bring us into a new digital age, our lives begin to become a bit more entangled.

Mainly because he starts watching me each night while I… relax. So I make sure to give him a good show through my living room window.

I’ve always assumed Rafe Hare is straight, but it quickly becomes clear that I might be wrong. And when I propose a fantastic new way for us to get… ahem… friendlier, he’s as all-in as I am.

Which means I get to show him just how weird it can get with a dullahan. And I can’t wait.


Jacqueleen the Reading Queen's review:

"𝙄 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙨. 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙬, 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙧."

Hot damn I love this hilarious series! If you thought the previous two couples got up to some kinky fuckery, then you have no idea what you're in for with this one! I mean, one of the MCs can detach his own head, so I'm pretty sure most of us can think of quite a few things that would be useful for if you catch my drift.

"𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙬𝙚𝙞𝙧𝙙. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩 '𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙄 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙣𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣, 𝙠𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣. 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙚𝙞𝙧𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙣."

Dan and Rafe were an interesting couple. Extrovert vs introvert to the max. It was fun seeing how much they could get a rise out of one another until all that tension finally boiled over into some rather steamy shenanigans. It was also pretty cute how sweet Dan could be with his grumpy ghoul when we wanted to be.

Since this is the first romance in the series about one of the actual wrestlers, it led to us spending a bit more time with the crazy crew. I'm pretty sure the lot of them are all batshit cray in one way or another, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. That's the fun of this series. It isn't meant to be taken too seriously. It's meant to make you laugh and enjoy the ride. It also totally calls to my inner 5 year old because YES there are more fart jokes to be had! I'm super excited because the wrestler I've been most interested in learning more about appears to be next and I cannot wait to see that snooty fae taken down a peg by his future man. Damn I love me the enemies to lovers trope!
