Most Wanted: An M/M Friends-To-Lovers Romance (Guardians Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Kelly Fox (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 1,425 ratings

Letting Ronan go was the biggest mistake of my life. Giving me a second chance might be the biggest mistake of his.

I’d spent a year as Ronan’s friend-with-benefits, convincing myself that he could never feel the way I felt. I was floored when those three little words flew out of his mouth.

So, I ran. And have regretted that decision every day for the last five years.

Now fate has led him back to me and to the Guardians, the merry band of mercenaries who have become my family. Our last several missions have gone sideways, and Ronan is convinced that he needs to go back into the field to understand what our team is dealing with.

He’s putting himself in harm's way and we can’t keep our hands off each other. God help me if anything happens to him.

I can't think of anything more dangerous than giving my heart to a man who's already destroyed it.

Then again, I might not have much say in the matter. My life’s been upended, and the only place that’s safe is with Thane and the Guardians.

It doesn't take us long to figure out that our passion burns just as hot as it always did. Undeniable. Unstoppable.

I can't keep my hands off him, but I can't go back to being his friend with benefits. And I have no clue how to trust him.

Thing is...if we could learn to trust each other, I might actually have something to offer this team of morally flexible do-gooders.

Most Wanted is a mercenary MM romance set in Austin, Texas. It features a gentle (if slightly murderous), muscle-bound giant, a beautiful, wickedly flexible man, and more chemistry than a high school science lab.

This is the third book in the Guardians Series. This is a shared-world spin-off from Wrecked, a series about a family who runs a gym for combat vets. While you can enjoy the slightly more nefarious Guardians without reading Wrecked, you may find yourself wanting all the juicy backstories.

Hi there! I write gay romance, which is to say that I curse way too much, drink exactly the right amount of red wine, and sleep far too little. I’m also lucky enough to live in Central Texas with my wife and two dogs, where the astonishing diversity of humans and landscapes and tattoo shops serve as my muse.

    I will never understand how Kelly Fox continues to make every book she writes better and better, but man am I grateful for it. The newest addition to the Wrecked: Guardians series is everything you would expect from Kelly - snarky, hot as hell, and full of action. Add in all those familiar faces we know and love, and we have another exceptional read.

    One of my favorite things about Kelly's books is how she keeps her couples together. The men finally get their heads our of their asses *cough* Thane *cough* or open themselves up again even if they chance being hurt, and once they are together, they stay that way. There's no 80% miscommunication breakup and chopped up, speedy recovery - her men fall hard, and accept what comes their way no matter what. It's so refreshing to read. That, and how seamlessly Kelly is able to incorporate action/suspense and romance into her books. I have yet to find another author who consistently doesn't allow one to overshadow the other like Kelly can. Action/adventure romance is far from my favorite genre, but Kelly makes me want to devour it.

    And then we have Thane and Ronan. I've said it before and I will say it again - I am a sucker for a big guy who's soft on the inside, and that is Thane to a T. And the way Ronan brings that out of him is so beautiful. They had me crying so many times - happy tears for sure, but just heavy-hitting emotional tears too, as they both figured out that they deserve and want the love they have together.

    I'm always on the edge of my seat waiting for more from Kelly, and now we have 2 books to look forward to. Odd and DB damn near broke my heart at the end of this book, and I can't wait to learn more about them. And Samuel is a sweet little ball of energy and he is going to be so much fun to experience. I'll just be sitting here impatiently waiting for more of Kelly's magic.

    Thane is an butthead. Running away from the man he loves because...commitment. When he get another shot at Ronan, you better believe he’s going to take it. Ronan was so hurt when he told Thane he loved and the man pulled his pants on and ran like his butt was on fire. Fast forward and circumstances find them working together. Both men are working towards the same goal they just don’t know it yet.

    Big (and not so big) strong men, protecting the preyed on people in their little corner of Texas. Who doesn’t like a vigilante righting the worlds wrongs? Is it really wrong to like someone who enjoys inflicting pain on those that deserve it? I think not.

    The characters are varied, snarky, happily in relationships, or very unhappy not in one. I think the author had fun with creating such diverse personalities and giving them each someone to call their own. The action scenes are well done as are the lovey parts. I’m liking the Guardian series a lot.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Scintillating M/M second chance romance with mystery and intrigue
    Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2021

    Thane seems to have everything: a body well-honed in the marines, a sensitive nature, respect from people he knows, a job he loves and owns but he’s afraid to fall in love. Why? Could his father’s lack of affection for his only son have anything to do with it? How about the pain at the death of his mother? Thane arranges with one of his Grindr contacts to have a f***-buddy relationship which he enjoys for quite a while, actually more than his standard based on his past, until Ronan says those crippling words, “I love you.” Thane leaves…at a very awkward moment.
    Fast-forward several years during which Thane has given up his fitness clubs to begin a mercenary/vigilante group, The Guardians. His “co-owner,” DB and Thane take on the cases that the law cannot “fix” like they should. DB is excited to introduce a new player into their strategic crew, formerly of the US Marshal’s service, none other than Ronan. Thane’s past comes roaring at him with teeth. What will he do? What should he do?
    Oh. My. Word. This was a page-turner with lots of gritty scenes, some explicit and some left to your imagination. A lot of steam when Thane and Ro can’t leave each other alone. Their chemistry pops off the page. Loved these bunch of guys with all their quirky ways. My only thought is why is it that they are all gay? I don’t look for a realistic story (what’s the fun in that?) but I do look for a speck of realism. This is fairly consistent however in M/M romance. Regardless, I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through Gay Romance Reviews and I recommend it to readers of the M/M genre who also enjoy a gritty, sometimes raw story.

    Poor Ronan really got the shaft due to Thane's fear. It is completely understandable with the dad he has, but he really made an awful decision. It is super sad that the thing he thought showed his love was the thing Ronan felt the most hurt from. I am glad they were able to work it out. I loved them together once they settled everything. I love Heath and Ronan's relationship too.

    This second chance novel features action, intrigue and moments that tug on your heart strings. Our two MCs used to hook up years before, but a misstep one night keeps them apart for years. Now, forced to work together, the chemistry is hotter than ever, but can forgiveness come in time for Thane in Ronan to have their HEA?

    A few trigger warnings for parents with dementia and a trafficking bad guy, but overall this story is light and fun with all of our favorite Guardians making appearances throughout. Enjoyed this book.

    Excellent third novel in the series, Kelly Fox writes with passion and enthusiasm.

    The main characters are complex ard well written, the storyline is interesting, the descriptive imaginary, excellent range of emotions displayed.
    Each novel in this series reveals more depth of character than the last and therfore to enjoy the series should be read in order, to gain the most perspective on the series.
    The plot was delivered at a good pace, the word building continues to grow throughout each novel. Its well paced, with muli-dimensional characters that are so believable they feel real.
    There is an obvious chemistry between Ronan & Thane and includes some quite intensely hot scenes, that are beautifully incorporated into giving the relationship depth.

    The series is a captivating mm romance, with superb attention to detail, Kelly Fox is definitely a wonderful writer, pulling us into the story and keeping us there until the very end

    Thane was an ex marine turned Gym owner/physical trainer who also worked as a member of the Guardians. Five years ago he had hooked up with Ronan via an app and they had met up once a month for a year, it ended suddenly and not in the nicest of ways when Ronan declared his feelings. Now Thane finds out that Ronan is likely to be leaving the US Marshalls and begin working with them in Op's. Things don't start well and Thane is still running from his feelings.
    M/M, Kink, full of action. Book 3 of a series that follows on from another series, in my opinion best read in order as characters are featured in other books. Good read.

    I love this book! I didn’t want to put it down. This book has action and adventure but also some heart felt emotions in between some seriously sexy scenes. The humour in this book is brilliant. The banter and chemistry between all the characters was great. Ronan really surprised me as a character. From the glimpse we got of him in the previous book, I wasn’t expecting him to be so witty and funny.

    I Absolutely love the the Wrecked Guardians series. I can’t wait for Odd and DB’s book.
