Before there was Elite 8 Studios, there was Trevor and Isaac.

Trevor

My college plans are simple: study, graduate, and get my business off the ground. Until one chance encounter in the library has my sights shifting.

Isaac is as fiery as the hair atop his head. With his ire directed at me, I should steer clear. But I can’t step away from the English major I suspect is harboring some hurt.

With a mutual love for poetry and undeniable chemistry sparking between us, it’s not long before Isaac starts letting me in.

But will Isaac’s affection fizzle when he learns about the videos I make in my spare time?

Or will the discovery of a shared passion only be our beginning?

Bruiser is an opposites-at-first-glance romance between an up-and-coming adult entertainer and the reluctantly smitten brat who doesn’t mind playing voyeur. There’s budding love in a library, ridiculous friends, poetry as flirting, and one very HEA. It’s book seven in the Elite 8 Studios series but can be listened to as a standalone.

Did I read this book before reading the Elite 8 series? Of course I did! It’s me, duh😅 I didn’t have time to catch up before the book was announced. But I’m glad I didn’t read them because I got to see where it all began. Trevor and Isaac were so perfect.

When they first met, Issac was having quite a bad day and wasn’t on his best behavior. But despite how prickly Issac was, Trevor felt a pulled towards him that he couldn’t explain.

The moment Trevor saw Isaac, he was a goner. He could see there was more to Isaac than he’s fiery personality. He saw the real Isaac not many people got to see and that only made him more special.

Trevor was determined to make Isaac’s life better in any way he could. So going above and beyond to make the day Isaac hated most a special one was just one way to show him. Especially in the way he did it. Having Isaac unknowingly be part of it was brilliant.

Isaac really had the best people around him. I loved how they always rallied around him to make him feel better when things got tough. They knew what he needed without him having to say anything.

I absolutely loved Trevor. He was such a teddy bear. People found him intimidating but not Isaac. I loved how fiercely he would defend Trevor whenever someone tried to hurt him. He was ready to fight anyone for his man.

After reading this book, I think I’m gonna look into Emerson. I’m not one for poetry but Trevor got me wanting to read it😅

I loved that the library was where they met and how important it was for their love story. I can’t blame Isaac for wanting a library of his own. I want a library!

I loved this book so much. Emmy Sanders has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her stories just make feel so warm and fuzzy inside and always put a smile on my face.

This is the origin story of Elite 8 studios. Trevor is the big soft hulk of a man and Isaac is his brickly fireball of a boyfriend in need of his forever home.
Nick Russo is always a joy to listen to and especially when it’s an Emmy Sanders story it just sounds like a match made in heaven. Elite 8 has a special place in my heart and I just love these guys so much.
This book will leave you with soft swoony feels and a need to listen to them all again so spot Bruiser on previous stories.
Put your headphones on and enjoy!

So soft and so hot

These two were so cute! I loved getting the origin story of Elite 8 studios and how it came to be. I loved how supportive Issac was and also how Trevor was willing to change everything he wanted for Issac.
