I don’t remember the last time I read a book with enemies to lovers where they were seriously enemies to lovers. Avi and Kyran were one of the best I read about in a long time and probably the best in every MM romance book I read. The angst- just wow. I don't usually read books with a step-sibling trope, because I'm not the biggest fan of them, but this book made me question my preferences. Spoiler. Probably because they stopped being them at the end, which, to be honest, I was glad about. Suffice to say: what starts out of necessity, soon becomes one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking love stories I’ve read in a while. There’s so much love, and hurt, and past issues bubbling up, that you can’t help but feel completely drawn in. You hurt for them, and you root for their HEA, because they’re perfect for each other. There’s more swoon, and a different type of angst that I haven’t found in Nyla’s previous books - hearts breaking because there are so many obstacles in the way to them being together, both external and internal. But it makes the HEA so very worthwhile, and the book impossible to put down. And despite them being stepbrothers, it doesn’t feel hugely taboo with the way the plot runs. Hell, even the dabbling in “online intimate content creation” feels kinda innocuous. Kinda… There were also moments where he felt like he didn't know who he was and if that is not the most identifiable thing ever then I don't know what is. The questioning yourself, the doubt. It hurts and it's painful and I was crying watching him go through this. Another heartbreaking moment brought to you by Nyla K.

I watched him grow into the amazing man he is today. A man who loves me out in the open, without fear. A man who survived something awful and still laughs and loves and gives. A man who taught me who I truly am. Because if it wasn’t for Kyran Harbor, I’d still be lost myself." Some of the plot twists and turns overrode character development – and that would be fine if it was a plot driven story, but it really wasn’t. The characters drove the plot and often made decisions that were incongruent with their growth and understanding.

I loved this story with all my heart, but I didn’t love everything about this book. And that makes me kinda sad because I would’ve loved to put this on my favorites-shelf for this year. Oh boy. Woah baby. Zoo wee mama. I mean all of that in a good way because this book? Hot damn. It was fabulous. Because that's the thing about distraction… if the truth is powerful enough, it'll always manage to shove a hand up through the dirt." I waited for these two to light my kindle on fire between the intense chemistry and angst. My kindle may have been on fire a time or two. Okay, maybe several times.

My review is going to be kinda all over the place but I absolutely LOVED and enjoyed For the Fans! Safe to say it's my favourite book by Nyla K to date! The main characters, Avi and Kyran made me fell all sorts of emotions, I was laughing, swooning, crying, smiling, blushing and a lot more. The way they hated each other and at the same time they were really possessive (which I freaking love, it’s the hottest thing ever) made me love them even more. I was basically melting during their cute and cozy moments. It's a long journey for them to be like this, but trust me, it's so worth it.

Avi and Kyran are stepbrothers attending college. Both need money; Avi opens an Only Fans account and asks Kryan to participate. Both straight. Did I mention Kryan can't stand Avi? What could go wrong? I’m not the kind of guy that’s into the whole concept of gay-for-pay so you can predict my opinion on the whole motive of this book. I think queer identities are taken lightly bcs of this.
