Clean Finish: Goliaths of Wrestling, Book 2

Lily Mayne... you've done it again. A friend got me into Lily Mayne through the Monstrous series at the end of last year, and I have been making my way through all of her books so far because I have fallen in love with her. That being said, when she announced a wrestling series, I was so ready. I loved Impromptu Match. It was everything I have came to adore about Lily Mayne's writing style - great characters, humor, good world building. Clean Finish blew me away. It was everything I loved about the first book in the series, but somehow better. I finished it in just over 24 hours. Okay, to be fair, I kind of ignored everything else to read this, BUT, it usually takes me longer to get through a 400+ page book. I just could not put it down. I could already tell that I would love Seb and Larkin from the end of Impromptu Match, but they are easily one of my favorite Lily Mayne couples now. They are just so stinking sweet together. That's the best word I have to describe their relationship. Both of the characters by themselves are absolute sweethearts (iykyk), but together they are somehow even better. I am so obsessed. Foaming at the mouth, if you will. I don't want to say too much about them because you should seriously just find out for yourself. It's so worth it. I cannot say enough good things about this book. It's honestly one of the best romances I have read to date - and I read a lot of romance. Do yourself a favor and go read it. Treat yourself.

I was a little more prepared going into book 2 having read book 1. I was ready for the ridiculous banter, the even more ridiculous creatures and the ongoing world/character building. What I absolutely was not prepared for was the level of spice in this book. Holy cow! (I was here for every.single.moment.of.it.) This one is focused on an idiot in love and the one pining for him. Both are adorable and they enter into a kind of teacher/student "arrangement" and WOW does our idiot get taught. I love the world of Goliaths Wrestling. I think Mayne has set herself up for endless books in this series based on the sheer amount of interesting creatures/wrestlers she's created. Their group dynamic is fantastic and yet they each have their own defined personalities. Read it. Blush furiously. Read it some more.
