Macho Kindle Edition
Every time I’ve given my heart away, it’s been scorched. Falling for a young kid like Jared is out of the question.
His sadness draws me in, and I want to protect him from the agony I see hidden behind his innocent, young eyes.
I’ve known that pain myself, and I’ll do anything to help him, except...
Do I have to give him my heart?
Do I even have a choice?
Justin
I'm a survivor, and I'll do whatever it takes to protect myself. I've never been in love before. It's the last thing on my mind, until I lay eyes on the older man who runs Macho, the gym of choice for bodybuilders. He acts like my protector, but fails to realize he might need some protecting too. He acts like a burly tough guy, but underneath the bravado beats the heart of a fragile, fellow survivor. Is it possible he'd ever love a scrawny kid like me?
Macho is a May/December romance novella between two survivors who never thought they'd find happiness, much less with the man of their dreams. There is no cliffhanger, and has a HEA. This edition features the bonus short story, Hero.
Trigger Warning- this novella contains scenes of domestic violence and abuse.

About the author

Raunchy, irreverent, lover of words, that would be an apt description of Enrique. He ran across an ancient Harlequin at a thrift store years ago, and after that moment he was constantly on the hunt for the gay versions. Having grown up in a publishing atmosphere, he knew he'd eventually have to write the books he wanted to read. He started writing erotica, but every one of his stories ended with a happily ever after, so he's now writing romances.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018I liked both of the stories in this book. The first one Macho had a great story line, the only thing I can say is the sex scene was lighter then usual for Enrique.
The second shorter story was very very hot!! I’ll leave you wondering about it, all I will say if you love hot scenes you’ll love this one definitely!!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017There's some real potential here but the work is in desperate need of editing.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017But incomplete I felt. The storyline's were good but like for some reason weren't mined for full potential.
As if there wasn't time to..... strange.
Opportunities wasted methinks.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020The most unusual Book I've read in a long time very contemporary to today Family is family until you've had enough
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2017I love gay romance. I love may/december romance. Guess what? I totally lurved this book! Jared may be younger than Creed, and at a different point in his life, but surprisingly, they have a lot more in common than they realize. Once they both look past the surface, things get steamy in all the right ways. If I had any complaints, it would be that I want more! But aren't all the best things supposed to leave you wanting more? Props for a good storyline, good characters, and fabulous editing. That's why I think Mr Cruz did a fanfreakingtabulous job with this book, and I cannot wait to read more of his work in the future.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2017The story is good - but it ends without giving us all of what we want. Jared we know and understand well. We're happy for him and his transformation. But Creed - now his story is just hinted at. Yelled at us in one conversation and we never get the whole story. We never get to see it, to feel his pain, to understand what he lived through and how this has shaped him as a mature man. It left me unsatisfied because I only got that hint of what makes up Creed, and he's really the whole story of Macho.
There's also a bonus story that is superbly written - quite short, but perfectly done for a brief flash into someone's life.
