UNLOCKED DIVE is AK Blythe's MM addition to the Broken Boys of Cirque series. This is a dark age gap romance.
From the blurb:
Echo
Fearless. Flawless. Fractured.
I’m an aerial prodigy with a perfect future—until it’s shattered with the bones in my wrist. Now my only hope of rebuilding my dream is to spend four months training in a secluded cabin with Cirque recruiter Byrd Baardwijk. One look at the former rope god, and I want him to “evaluate” a lot more than my unlikely recovery. He sees me as a bad idea. I see his own broken pieces begging him to lose control.
But as our time runs out and our shared ghost comes calling, I start to wonder—is my salvation worth the price of his soul?
Byrd
Retreat. Recover. Resist.
Running away after my divorce isn’t supposed to be complicated. Until an old friend asks me for a favor and my dreams of solitude are invaded by the ghost of the first guy who broke my heart. Except Echo Wash is nothing like his older brother. He’s sass and sin, a mistake I can’t afford to make. And for the first time in my life, I want to ignore all my cautious, moral warnings and drown myself in every forbidden fantasy he offers.
But how can I put him back together when all I want to do is take him apart?
Unlocked Dive is an 18+ MM forbidden age gap romance with hurt/comfort, forced proximity, and mature content. Expect 1st person present tense, dual POV, and material that some readers may find sensitive. Full content warnings included in the book and on my author website.
This is the second book in a series of interconnected standalones following a group of elite aerial circus athletes through their struggles to find unconventional love in unexpected places. It can be read on its own and includes a HEA, but includes minor spoilers for book 1, Wristlocked.
Molly Otto's review:
When echo is injured before starting school, he is sent to Byrd to train and be ready to perform once again. Byrd hides his pain while building Echo back up, which, as we all know, will eventually come to head. What you don't expect is the utter level of pain that is thrust upon this man who deserves the world. Together, they are stronger and better. Byrd needs to learn to let himself soar to be the right person for Echo. These two don't exactly have an easy time at it, but wow, is it moving. I am looking forward to seeing more from this heart breakingly beautiful world in the future. Let your imagination take flight in picturing the moves this cast does to entrance the world around them.
Unlocked Dive is currently available as an e-book and paperback and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
