Rough Edges
by
Scott Everest
25, loudmouth, musical theatre performer… that is, if I could find work in a sea of LA models.
I ran from LA to escape the bounty on my head. I figured hiding out in Jersey would be a smart move, that is until I made the mistake of hooking up with an Italian thug I met at a club. It was supposed to be a one-night stand, quick and easy. Now, I can’t escape the guy! He’s sarcastic, he’s smug, and he likes to get on my last nerve. Every time I see him, all I want to do is knock that annoying grin off his handsome face. So why is it that somehow, I always end up in bed with him instead?
Dominic Rossi
27, Italian, professional money launderer… yeah, I’m the guy that moves the money and keeps us all from going to prison.
From the moment I made the mistake of hooking up with him, I can’t seem to shake the guy. He’s everywhere! Not to mention he’s the rudest, most arrogant, self-absorbed, oblivious man I have ever had the pleasure of arguing with. So naturally, when someone tries to murder him, I end up protecting him instead. What can I say, I’m a sucker for people who need help. Now, if only I could find a way to stop falling for the man who drives me crazy.
This is a MM thriller/romance, that should be read in the order of the series.

REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Protecting His by Matthew Dante is the latest offering in the Rough Edges series. Scott Everest leaves his less than glamorous life in LA with a bounty on his head, and hopes to get lost in Jersey. At a club one night, he hooks up with Dominic Rossi, a professional money launderer, who must be the most sarcastic and smug guy he’s ever met. But fate brings them together again, and Scott suddenly sees that there is so much more to Dominic than his rough facade. Can the same arrogant thug he once met for an anonymous encounter become his lover and savior?⠀
⠀
Protecting His is a dark and provocative romances that throbs with raw passion and grit. Matthew Dante never fails to create uniquely complex characters that readers cannot help but find compelling and unforgettable. Within the span of a few pages you will find yourself falling for the most alluring and somehow noble band of mobsters, informers and money launderers. This author’s stories are not strangers to violence. This is merely the world in which his characters must exist while still maintaining a code of loyalty and honor. I could continue on about theme and style, but the best advice is to get your hands on a copy and let this story work its darkly romantic magic on your heart. As long as the name Matthew Dante is on the cover you are guaranteed a phenomenal read.
