MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review: Heavy Hand by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars
Max isn’t pathetic—he just tends to get emotionally attached when someone shows him attention. After a one-night stand with Jeremiah, who seems different from his past hookups, Max is left with only a note the next morning. When they unexpectedly reconnect—since Jeremiah owns a nearby restaurant—Max finds himself drawn to him despite Jeremiah’s clear reluctance to pursue a relationship. For the first time, Max feels something worth fighting for in this friends-with-benefits romance filled with humour, chaos, and heartfelt moments.
This story completely won me over with the undeniable pull between Max and Jeremiah—it’s magnetic, complicated, and impossible to ignore. Even when they try to keep things casual, the connection between them feels deeper than either is ready to admit. What really stood out was how both characters carry their own demons, yet somehow find strength in facing them together. Their journey isn’t easy, but it feels real and earned, making their growth as individuals and as a pair incredibly satisfying. There are a lot of big emotions packed into this book, but they’re handled with care and authenticity, never feeling overwhelming or forced. It’s a heartfelt, messy, and ultimately hopeful romance that lingers long after the last page. This was an MM story with mature content.
