Blurb: An Iron Eagle Gym Novel
When one of their own is threatened, the men of the Iron Eagle Gym will stand together and prove they are stronger as a family.
Stuntman Barclay Drambor suspects his fall from a roof was no accident. He believes his abusive ex was responsible, but he can’t prove it. Fortunately, a year has gone by with no word from Duncan, letting Barclay move on with his life—and that means dealing with the aftermath of his injuries. He finds personal trainer Reece “Rec” Gordon through a member of the gym, and it’s not long before their workouts together become much more intimate. Rec is gentle and goes out of his way to make Barclay comfortable, and in no time there’s talk of moving in together….
But just as Barclay is healing and finding a place to belong, Duncan returns to destroy his happiness. Though Duncan will learn he’s messing with the wrong group of men, in the end, Barclay must face him. Will Rec’s love and the friendship of the others at the gym give him the confidence to stand up for himself?.

Reviewer: Shorty
Review: Rec helps Barclay in so many ways. I liked the dynamics of these two characters. One trying to put his life back together while struggling with his physical limitations and self confidence. The other being there for him in every way. Rec was a gentle man with compassion and understanding that did wonders for Barclay.
Barclay struggles with everything he has been through so far. Which I understood. There was a lot of sex in this book which at times was too much because I would have preferred more story. But that’s me.
I did feel like this story was incomplete by the end. Too many unanswered questions that I assume will be addressed in the next book. I would have liked to see more interactions between the gym members in this story given the circumstances.
Other than those things it was a wonderful story that I enjoyed.
