[ STAKE ] for one muse to protectively and/or possessively stand behind the other to intimidate a third party.
Valerian overlord au.
Angel was pretty much tearing into these guys, proverbially tearing them a new asshole as it were. Just a few dumb drunken fools, Angel was more than thinking he’d be capable to take down. Though what was first dismissing his insistence to let him have a drink in peace, was met with more terror than he thought he’d witnessed in the eyes of an enemy.
He had threatened them with a bottle. He was almost impressed with his intimidation. But it became more clear what happened upon turning around. The makeshift weapon is quickly set down. “Wh- Rian..?”

Review: Things We Hide From the Light
🌶️🌶️
Nash is police chief of small town in Knockemout in Virginia who is recovering from being shot. Suffering from PTSD, he is feeling pressure from the feds to remember the incident in excrutiating detail so they can complete their investigation. His brother, (daddy) Knox, is celebrating some major wins: getting engaged to Naomi and earning a new daughter, Waylay. In the shadow of his brother's success, Nash's normally cinnamon-roll personality is having growing pains. Enter: Lina -- badass b*tch and ex-lover to Knox many years ago. Lina doesn't give a single squirt of duck sh*t and does what she wants. As a private investigator for an insurance company, she steps on civilian and law enforcement toes for a living -- something that obviously catches Nash's attention. The two of them learn to share their deepest, darkest secrets with each other while they learn to move forward and grow as human beings.
------
MMC: Nash was a golden retriever in book 1 "Things We Never Got Over". In fact, his golden retriever-ness shines more throughout book 2 as he recovers from PTSD.
FMC: Lina is an interesting one. I'm not sure why she feels like she has to pick Nash up off of the floor, so to speak. It seems a bit out of character for her take a liking to a broody police chief.
---
You know, I've got to admit I didn't really like this one as much as book 1. I don't understand how a broken hero and a badass bitch with a congenital heart defect fall in love. It's a little steamy, sure. But compared to Knox and Naomi's story, Nash and Lina sound boring. Sure, they have some trauma-bonding situation going on. But, also, the storyline is awfully similar to that in book 1.
Would I recommend it? Well...as a standalone it might be okay. But as the 2nd book in the Knockemout series, it will always sit in the shadow of book 1. It's the forgotten-about middle child.
Do you want a filler book that doesn't really bring anything new and exciting to the table, but you just don't want to be kept out of the loop when book 3 comes out? Sure! Read this thing!
Are you hoping for an absolute BANGER of a book with relatable main characters and spice that'll have you sweating bullets? Sorry, hun. You won't find that here.
