It features a masochistic vigilante with ADHD and a video game addiction and his sadistic and controlling best friend who worships the ground he walks on. As with any Onley book, you’ll find dark humor, steamy sexy times, and gratuitous violence, but only against people who totally deserve it. This is book 3 in the Jericho’s Boys series. Each book follows a different couple.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__text inline-richtext\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMAIN TROPES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003eTouch Him and Die\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003eFriends to Lovers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003eFriends with Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003ePossessive MC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003eRoommate Romance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003eOnly One Bed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bookvault","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":67948814860604,"sku":"9609254002191","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/0713\/1708\/files\/BHB_9f669cce-7dab-4eb1-b959-ac9720872f79.jpg?v=1793100538","url":"https:\/\/www.onleyjames.com\/products\/barbarian-4","provider":"Onley James","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
