Raine doesn't do help.

She participates in an underground fight circuit, owns her own bike shop, and fixes what breaks, fighting what won’t stay down. She’s learned the hard way that relying on people just gives them something to take from you later.

But then three men start showing up anyway. They’re best friends, oddly persistent, and for some reason, have decided she’s their problem now.

Elias is quiet and watchful, the kind of man who notices everything and steps in to care for everyone before they even ask. He offers help like it’s a given, and never makes a big deal out of it. It's just his nature.

Theo is the boy you root for, soft and gentle, awkward and shy, but strong and intelligent. He listens more than he talks, at least around her. He doesn’t push too hard, staying solid and patient in a way that’s harder to shake for her.

Jax is loud, reckless, and fiercely loyal. All impulse and heat, crashing into her life with laughter and a refusal to let her push them away and keep them at arm's length.

Raine knows better than to let any of them in. She knows better than to trust three men in a world that already wants more from her than she has to give. But she can't shake them, and sometimes she's tired of fighting.

Debt doesn't wait, however, not when the mafia owns it. The underground doesn’t play fair, and walking away isn’t an option.

Neither is doing this alone.

Definitely Not is a dark gray, slow-burning why-choose romance with underground fights, found family, sharp banter, and three men who aren’t taking "leave" for an answer—even when Raine insists she doesn’t need them.

Review

Oh. My. Goodness.

I absolutely loved this, and now I want more.

Raine is fierce, feisty and independent. She doesn't need help, and relies on nobody but herself. Until Elias, Theo and Jax insert themselves into her life, and won't let her fight on her own. As a team, they refuse to be pushed away, even though it would be safer for them if they walked away. But these guys don't do safe, especially not when Raine is concerned.

Elias, with his concern and caregiver personality. Theo, with his gentleness and pureness. Jax, with his humour and bad boy vibes. Individually, they're impressive. Together they're unstoppable and a force to be reckoned with.
