Shameless

An M/M Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (Wrecked, Book 3)

By: Kelly Fox

Narrated by: John Solo

Roly Martinez checklist: EpiPens, burn ointment, and condoms. You gotta come prepared for hate sex.

Heath has every reason to hate me, and that only serves to fuel our explosive chemistry. Now that we live in the same city again, all I want to do is show this sexy bear of a man that I’m not the jerk he once knew. My career as a US Navy SEAL changed the course of my life, and I'm desperate for him to see the new me.

Unfortunately, my reconciliation efforts so far have ended in hospitalization, second-degree burns, and a broken towel rack.

Not my finest work.

Of course, if he finds out the details of the military operation that forever changed me, it might be game over.

I mean...can he forgive me if I can’t even forgive myself?

Shameless is post-military enemies-to-lovers MM romance set in a gym for combat vets. It features muscled twinks, beautifully bellied bears, and a four-year-old with a lisp.

Note: This book depicts military violence, but the HEA is guaranteed.

This is the third book in the Wrecked series. Several characters, including Roly, first appear in Scout and the Lavender Girl.

Shameless

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

This whole series is awesome and so is Wrecked: Guardians.

There’s so many feels in this one.

Highly recommend.

You won’t be disappointed.

John does a wonderful job as always.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review. I read the book previously in KU as well.

My heart melted

John Solo finally Goldilocksed his way into the Baby Bear book of the Wrecked series. The one that's just right for his voice talents. He was good with Sanctuary, okay with Surrender, but with Shameless, his characterizations were completely on point for both Heath and Roly.

I love the book, the story is top-notch, even though I'm not usually a fan of bully romances, but I'm a huge fan of Kelly Fox, and she did everything right with the story, in my opinion. Then, Solo brings it to life with just the right intonation for the bear and the bear killer.

Well done!

ᗴᗰOTᎥOᑎᗩᒪ, ᖴᑌᑎᑎY, ᗷᗴᗩᑌTᎥᖴᑌᒪ

A poignant enemies-to-lovers type of story dealing with past hurt and trauma, current anxiety and pain, and the personal growth that can come from and through both.

Beautifully narrated by John Solo, my only complaint is the chapter headings; that soft, almost apologetic whispery voice just doesn’t fit the characters. It was great for book 2, but I wasn’t expecting and didn’t appreciate it in book 3.

Roly, bear killer!!! 🐻

Book 3 in the Wrecked series.

This series revolves around the Wrecked gym and the combat vets that work out there.

This book is about:

Roly - ex Navy SEAL, high school cheerleader, 5 and a half foot ball on energy, nicknamed Bear Killer. His personality is bigger than his body. He's always been the life of the party. He only dates bears due to a confrontation he had in Iraq, he only feels safe with large men.

Heath - Scout's and Jean-Pierre's business manager, nicknamed Heavy, by Roly in high school, and then Sexy Papa Bear, as adults. Heath has recently relocated to Austin due to his ex-wife's job, so that he can be near her and their three girls.

For years Heath has struggled with self esteem issues due to bullying in high school, due to his weight, which was exacerbated by Roly.

This story is about opening old wounds then the slow process of healing them and moving on, along with sexy times.

John Solo brought this story to life. The voices he used for each of the characters were spot on. There was the one glaring mispronunciation of Tony Chachere's seasoning, but if you aren't from down south you probably wouldn't know any better. I'll give him that one 😉, it made me smile.

Enemies to lovers, hurt/comfort, hate sex, mental health issues

Yes yes and more yes

Roly and Heath are my go to reread and I now know this audio will be in rotation as well! The narrator was able to hit the funny and the serious moments on point and I appreciate when that happens. Sometime with beloved characters I have an idea in my head that I can’t shake when the audio comes out but in this case I was still able to appreciate the audio. Kelly Fox is an amazing wordsmith, I’m pretty obsessed with the series.
