REVIEW: Idol AU by Rye Cox (Because Canon Sucks)

Image
  IDOL AU Because Canon Sucks Series by Rye Cox Release Date: July 8, 2026 Review A classic Rye style romance with a yummy bodyguard/rockstar pairing. They have an undeniable connection that, though they try, they can’t deny. And they are both so wonderful and kind. They match each other's needs, personalities and desires so well. I loved their back and forth, their quiet moments, their support.  It was a bit of slow burn, with a kind of fast conclusion, but I really liked it. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis My newest client is America’s darling—ex member of one of the biggest boy bands of our age, and a huge success from his first solo album. Milo isn’t the picture-perfect persona he portrays to his fans. He’s a chaos goblin, and I suspect I was hired to protect him from himself. The problem is, his particular brand of chaos sings to my heart. I’m drawn to him, which is a huge problem if I ever knew one. There’s a professional boundary I can’t cross, but how do I...
