On Guard by Andi Jaxon, J.R. Gray

4.0

It's been a while since I've read a good possessive MMC book, and I gotta say Andi Jaxon and J.R gray absolutely delivered with this book! It was the most perfect amount of spice, hurt/ comfort and loveable characters.
In this story we follow Issac who is gay and gets disowned by his family which leads to him becoming poorer than when he stared out. He then bumps into Oliver who offers him money to sleep with him and shocker he does. But honestly the whole turn of evens worked out really well for him cause he ends up finding someone who respects him and gives him what he needs in a proper relationship (and he ends up married so you know I'm super happy for this baby). 

While issac and Oliver were the two main characters for this story, one of my favorites was Owen🫶🏼 such a hilarious man when he's talking about his existential crises. 

Overall I would give this story 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

- pet names
- contemporary 
- mm romance
- touch him and die
- fencing 
- enemies to lovers
- kinky
- rich x poor
- hurt/comfort
