By Onley James

Barbarian was originally the 4th planned, but 3rd published, book in Onley’s Jericho’s Boys series, because of a delay in the writing of “Ranger”.
I’m actually on my first reread of the book, as I read it chapter by chapter on Patreon – and the version I’m reading now is the ARC copy that was posted a week before release date.
Barbarian is a friends-to-lovers, dark romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. 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 Onley James is one of my absolute favorite writers, and I’m low-key obsessed with the Mulvaney-and-adjacent universe, this is an instant favorite book, and though I’m rereading it within a week of finishing the raw chapters on Patreon, I’m in love with the story and the characters.
