I, Taylor Hough, am a painfully average guy.

I have the soul-destroying corporate job, I iron my underpants, and I was unceremoniously dumped for an influencer hippie a few years ago. Every day feels the same, and I don’t know how much longer I can cope before I do something unhinged like rip off my shirt in the middle of my co-worker’s office birthday party and smear lemon cake all over my chest.

But then a case of mistaken identity suddenly lands me in the middle of a covert professional wrestling league, which is apparently being run in the basement of my office building. Weird. Even weirder are the wrestlers. They seem… otherworldly. So does the rest of the staff. And the audience. Pretty much everyone except boring old me.

And then there's the owner, Holt Hector, with whom I have an extremely embarrassing first encounter. He’s ridiculously attractive, even in the inhuman cosplay get-up he's wearing that only makes him hotter, if I'm being totally honest.

Then I discover it’s not a costume. And that the show put on by Goliaths of Wrestling every night is more monstrous reality than mindblowing special effects.

My previously boring life is suddenly no longer quite so average, and hot-as-hell Holt is inexplicably as interested in me, and my ironed underpants, as I am in him and his strange new world.

I nearly peed my pants laughing at this book. These two hot idiots are perfect for each other. And I want to read every single side character's book! I just want to read Frank's and Bean's Karate Kid reboot. If anyone could make them romance heroes, it would be Lily Mayne. But she has made a huge task of it after their descriptions in this book. 

Taylor is bored. he's like sleepwalking through life after his ex dumped him a few years ago. Holt is definitely not boring. After a drunken night of secret spilling, they can't stay away from one another. Watching Holt bring Taylor back out of his shell is everything. And watching Taylor help Holt feel again was just as cute! 

And then you get into the other people that work for the Goliaths of Wrestling. You've got Holt's assistant, Larkin, his bodyguard, Seb, and few other people, and the WRESTLERS! The wrestlers are PERFECTION! There are so many different types of monsters in this wrestling league. She also introduced a monster corn business, which clearly has me very interested. 

I am also salivating for book 2 already!!! She set it up SO well. I'm just casually trying to figure out if she's going to do a concurrent moment or if she's going to pick up where this book left off. Her options are endless and I can't wait to see what she does with them!!!
