High Lord Crossbody

I've given up a lot to pursue a career in professional wrestling, and I'm not going to have it all derailed by an uncouth ghoul with a huge chip on his shoulder, who decided he disliked me for no reason on his very first day at Goliaths.

Vince Burke has been the thorn in my side for five long years, but things have taken a turn for the worse. Management is threatening to get involved. I refuse to let Burke take the life I've worked so hard to build from me, so I try to be on my best behaviour at work, but something about him just gets to me. He consumes my thoughts. I can't stand him.

When something happens between us that leaves me feeling completely unmoored, I find myself thinking about him constantly. He's taken all the control, and I need to get it back. Because I liked it too much, and I can't let myself feel that way about him.

Vince "Rolling Rimmer" Burke

I love everything about my job as a professional wrestler at Goliaths of Wrestling, an underground supernatural wrestling organization. I love the showmanship. The costumes. The crowds. The ring and the arena. My co-workers.

Well, except one.

High Lord Crossbody, the royal fae who's an actual prince, is a pompous snob and a pain in my backside. Everything about him rankles me—his clipped drawl, his disdainful sneer, his stupid long legs and eerily perfect face and sultry hooded eyes…

I hate everything about him. I do. So when our mutual dislike boils over in a very public argument, then explodes into something even hotter and completely inappropriate, I'm left confused and even more annoyed.

Because now I want him. And I hate that I want him.

I will admit, I was a little apprehensive about starting this book because I couldn’t see these two getting over their anger at each other to be in a relationship. But, I should know by now to trust Mayne because she really made these two work perfectly together and made one hell of a story.

These two have a hate to love relationship, and I do mean Hate with a capital H. From the very beginning of these series these two have constantly been sniping at each other and have made their feelings about each other known. This is causing tension with the wrestlers and they are being told they have to make up or at least be civil or they will potentially be fired. I will admit, I was very anxious going into this because I knew how much tension there was between these two but it made more sense once we got to know more about their pasts. Also it kept me hooked and I didn’t want to put the book down.

High Lord Crossbody is a royal fae who everyone thinks is kind of pompous but he really isn’t. He just struggles to be a part of the group because he was raised to think he was the best because of his royal status and was never taught how to be normal, especially for the human world. I was very surprised by how quickly my feelings for Crossbody changed and I really ended up loving him.

Vince is a ghoul who is known as the Rolling Rimmer. From the very beginning of this series I found Vince to be a fun and carefree character, except when it came to Crossbody. I liked getting to know more about him and what pushed him into wrestling. It was great seeing him come to the realization that Crossbody is just like everyone else and isn’t being supported by his family. Also I liked that he repeatedly apologized for his behavior towards Crossbody and actively tried to make things better for him with the other wrestlers.

These two were a fantastic couple in the end but they had to work through their shit first to get there. I was really surprised by how far these two came in such a short amount of time and how strong their bond became. Also their relationship was so freaking steamy!! I was not expecting a dom/sub relationship and man was it so good.

Like all of these books, I love the camaraderie and banter between all the wrestlers. It’s always amusing and just so ridiculous. Also it was great seeing how the other couples are doing and how much they are still head over heels about each other. The found family in these books are just perfect and I can’t wait to get to know the new wrestlers now.

Overall, this was just another fantastic book and I really can’t wait for the next one. Also I just loved the Granny Lizard Mafia and Lady Potato.

TW: toxic parents (one emotionally unavailable and manipulative; the other irresponsible and abandoned him with a relative; absent father mentioned); alcohol use;

Loved these two

This was a very good book. The drama was perfectly balanced. The characters were flushed out. Very great and getting to really get into crossbodies, backstory was really great. Now, I hope this is not the end of this series because I don't know if the artist reads any of the comments but how many of us would love to see one of these guys be in omega? And not only be a monster, but then have that journey of being pregnant

I loved this one. The storyline is great! Very fun and filthy. As for narration, I'm usually a big fan of Liam Dicosimo, but his side character voices do feel pretty inconsistent and not really all that similar to how Michael Ferraiuolo performs the same characters, so there has been some inconsistency there especially in the last two books of this series. However, the voices did become better and more aligned between the two narrators as this book went on. Overall, still very much well worth the listen.

Lily Mayne is quickly becoming my favorite author and Goliaths of Wrestling is my favorite series. No detail is too small and no detail is left out the way Lily weaves together the over arching story line is masterful and the way couples from previous books are still touched on and briefly revisited in books where they are not the main characters is wonderful. In other series I have felt like the story ended to soon but also didn’t want to read/ listen to a whole other book for more details about a couple, Lily has cracked the code in the perfect way to keep the couples involved but not having them be the focal point of the new book. I re-listened to the whole series before listening the False Comeback and I can’t wait to re-listen to them all again before the next book comes out which I’m sure will be about Clause and Bryan. Can’t wait! Thank you Lily!
