Description

Malik and Julian are two forces of nature destined to collide. In the high-stakes world they inhabit, their rivalry is legendary, fueled by sharp words and an undeniable, simmering tension that threatens to consume everything in its path. They are complete opposites, yet they are tethered together by a complicated history that neither can fully escape. What begins as a battle of wills slowly unravels into something far more dangerous and intimate. This is not a clean, easy love story. It is a raw, messy, and deeply human journey that refuses to shy away from the jagged edges of passion and regret. As the lines between hatred and desire blur, Malik and Julian must confront the parts of themselves they have kept hidden, even from each other. Their dance is one of vulnerability and resistance, testing the limits of what they are willing to sacrifice for a chance at something real. If you crave a story that breaks your heart only to put it back together in unexpected ways, this is the romance you have been waiting for. Eloquent, intense, and profoundly moving, this tale of two men finding their way to one another is as unforgettable as it is electric.

Passion Can’t Mask Pain

I’m the type of reader who doesn’t mind when you break my heart a little bit (or a lot) as long as you give me a really good story. And the way this story gripped me and wouldn’t let me go it was exactly that. Julian made my heart hurt so much with the weight of hiding who he was. This story is heavy with internal monologue, it builds out brick by brick everything Julian is carrying. Broken up by the growth Malik is fighting his way to. In their own ways each character is fighting to be honest with themselves. And like a suspense novel you are gripped by they where, when, and how. At one point I couldn’t see how Julian (or me) could ever forgive Malik and then out of nowhere it settles into your being that forgiving him is easy because sometimes to people are just made for each other and they can’t be truly happy without the other and they have so much love it just outweighs everything else. This was such an amazing read for anyone who loves the depths of human emotion and being trapped in moment after moment of tension until everything explodes in raw ways that don’t always make sense but make you believe in love.

“I’M GONNA RUIN YOU.”

As I started to read Slow Dance, I just figured another MM romance ok, however as I started reading, the author wrote so eloquently about young about love, the mistake that damaged the connection to it, the fear of being judge for loving the wrong person, not fitting in to society or family’s approval. In this case MM, but what of other relationships the rich man with the poor girl, an older person with a young person. As the author wrote about the mistake of youth, the fear of approval. Could a bridge ever help heal and bring Malik and Julian back together after 17 years? Could the music help them build a new connection and could Julian gather the courage to live life on his own teams. I literally read this book in a few hours as the exquisite writing has you feeling the anger, the pain and the fear. At one point I was crying myself at as I felt the pain and fear of these two individual’s stories.

All the feels

A wonderful and emotional mm romance that explores the difference between a person who is out and one who is afraid to own his truth because of his upbringing. You really see the effect that ones family and their beliefs can have on your ability to live your truth. It's a heartfelt story of past wrongs and a slow journey towards each other again. Malik wronged Julian in a terrible way, and though he didn't realize the repercussions of what he did, it leads to a 17 year separation that he was desperate to end. They find their way back to each other due to a forced proximity. I loved that the story is set in the same world as the author's hockey series and loved all the Easter eggs of characters. I am also super excited about what story might be next after reading the bonus epilogue!
