Ethan
Intimidating, overbearing, disciplined, perfectionist…
Ethan Walsh’s focus is singular, building his legacy—a legal empire.
Nothing else matters.
Well, until Felicity Pratt barges into his life.
She’s overqualified, no-nonsense, and full of ambition.
The fact she’s the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen is unbearable.
She shouldn’t occupy his brain 24/7.
To make things worse—she challenges him each step of the way.
The fact he can’t think straight when she’s in the room compromises every principle he stands for.
When war turns into attraction, conflict into lust, respect into adoration—one question remains…
Will he wager his life’s work for a lifetime of her love?

If you are a fan of enemies to lovers, a workplace romance with fabulously witty, smart banter than Ethan is for you!
The notorious Ethan Walsh is a career bachelor. Dedicated to his law firm and his mother. All of his time has been devoted to the care of his sick mother and growing his practice. What happens when the new associate invades all his thoughts and fantasies?
Felicity Pratt has just left a large law firm to move closer to family. She is a brilliant attorney, with focus, drive and no time for romance. Yes, her knew boss is arrogant, confident, aloof and sex on stick but no thank you! They start off on the wrong foot, but Mr. personality soon tries to smooth it over which only makes their work lives more awkward. It soon becomes apparent that the chemistry is undeniable and too much for either one to handle. Once the line gets crossed it becomes too much for Ethan to bear. His mother has taken a turn for the worse and this self-proclaimed bachelor begins to shut down and resort to his old ways. Get ready for the sparks to fly in more than one way when this spit fire of a woman begins to give better than Ethan could have ever imagined. I am pretty sure that he is going to need to take a course in groveling 101 to even think that he could win her heart. Loved the independent and sassy Felicity. Such a great cast of characters that surrounded this couple!

4 Star Review Ethan by Alex Wolf
Having read a number of books by Alex Wolf I was excited when I heard he had a new release and I couldn’t wait to jump in. This is Ethan Walsh and Felicity Pratt’s enemies to lovers story and it was an entertaining read. Mr.Wolf drew me in and held my captive from the first chapter and although not a particularly long book, it certainly was steamy.
The attraction between Ethan and Felicity is intense as these two dive in to a relationship. The only question is will they soar or crash and burn? There were moments where I wanted to smack Ethan across the back of the head; he really was a bit of an arrogant jerk, but he grew on me.
Felicity is one of those woman that you easily admire. She is kind, caring, focused and certainly held her own against Ethan. I enjoyed the push and pull dynamic as they navigated their relationship. Can Ethan prove that there is more to him than the arrogant man that Felicity believes he is? One click and find out.

If i thought Alex Wolf couldn't peak Cocky suits series boy was i proven wrong with this book.
Everything about this story was on point; from the way how grumpy Ethan (my fav name) was, to the way he was such a male in the way he showed his feelings, to the way how you couldn't help but love him how much he was suffering with everything that has been going on with this mom.
I think I found my first girl crush in 2022 with Felicity. She was what every woman should be; passionate, smart, had a backbone and knew her worth. All she wanted to do was support him and my heart was breaking when they came to blows. And do NOT get me started on the groveling he did to get her back.
Such a great read that had me hooked from the very first encounter and wouldn't let go right up until I read the words THE END!!!

Alex Wolf surpassed my expectations with this story. He delivered a couple that I found so compelling. My romantic self needed this story.
Felicity Pratt finds herself returning home and venturing into a new job. She’s confident as heck and has the goods to back her up. There’s just one little problem, her gorgeous and arrogant boss, Ethan Walsh.
Ethan Walsh is a big name player in the lawyer arena. He’s worked endlessly for his status. And he too can back up his claims. But life isn’t handing him a winning hand at the moment. Parental issues and a bit of doubt have him lashing out. But there’s something about the beautiful and brilliant Felicity that calls to him. Too bad he’s so overbearing and harsh that he sends her retreating to a safe zone.
Ethan’s character was absolutely endearing. He was raw and real. I love how Wolf allowed me to watch his growth and evolution.
And I’m very interested in seeing more of his best friend and second in command, Owen.

"She's pure confidence and it's unbearably sexy."
Oh, dear LORD!! You know, I work with a lot of attorneys in my line of work, and not once, have any of them been fodder for a romance novel. Where are they, these amazingly hot and brooding lawyers that will create the need for me to change my panties? WHERE ARE THEY???
Ethan is just my favorite kind of hero. Yes, yes, he's handsome and tall, and brooding. But he's also broken and vulnerable, self-loathing, and believing that he's no good for any woman. I just love a broken hero. I sometimes wonder if I'd actually tolerate a broken man in real life, but I totally tolerate a fictional one!
Then we have Felicity. Oh, boy, is she a force to be reckoned with! She is perfect for Ethan and calls him on his screw-ups, pushes back and doesn't take his arrogant attempts to push her away when she know what he really needs is......well, her.
The banter between these two is just so great, and those steamy times? WHOO HOO KABOOM! This was such a great enemies-to-lovers read!! GAH!!
I loved this story, and I hope, hope, hope, we get a story for Owen and Holland. I really need that. Holland is a riot but I think the right man could tame her.
Definitely grab this one!! And while you're at it, grab a few others by this author! You won't ever be disappointed!

PHENOMENAL!!! MUST READ!
A feel good romance that will pull at your heart strings but make you laugh as well.
My heart goes out to Ethan for what he's dealing with with his mother. He's the type that holds things in and keeps that wall up. But, then there's Felicity who comes along and distracts him. Makes him feel things he's never felt before. The push and pull between Ethan and Felicity from the start is beyond what you can imagine. Felicity doesn't hold back though. No, she gives as good as she gets. I love how feisty Felicity is. The sexual tension between them...... WOWZA!! The secondary characters just add so much more to the story. This is such an all around must read story.
Touching, emotional, pull at your heart strings, and laugh out loud amazing! I couldn't get enough of this story. I didn't want it to end.
I love this quote from the book.
"celebrate every victory, every chance to be happy, because there’s no telling what will come tomorrow. Some things are out of your control. All the more reason to enjoy today."

A wonderful enemies to lovers romance. This was a pretty quick read, but still full of heart and steam. Ethan is a lawyer with his own law firm and Felicity is the new senior associate. They butt heads at the beginning, but the attraction is there as well. He is broody and a little arrogant and definitely was not expecting the distraction that Felicity is to him. I loved these characters. Great storyline that kept me engaged from beginning to end.

This was a 4.5⭐️ read
I loved this enemies to lovers read.
The last thing Ethan or Felicity were looking for was a relationship.
But their chemistry was instantly hot and the attraction was undeniable.
Ethan’s dedication to his mother above all else was endearingly sweet (I live with a mumma’s boy and know how it can play out).
But will his devotion deprive him of any love in his life?
Banter between Ethan and Felicity is witty and sassy.
Their chemistry is off the charts hot
When you finally meet the one who completes you, you can’t let anything stand in your way!
I was given an ARC but voluntarily chose to review

Ethan is a fantastic read. I loved this one so much. This is a spinoff of the Cocky Suits that takes place in Philly. Ethan is a complicated man. He is trying to hold it all together and doesn't do social relationships well. Felicity has the sass to take on Ethan. She is a fantastic lawyer and gets the job done. I love the chemistry between Felicity and Ethan from the very start. There is this build that you are just going to love and of course some drama along the way. I adored Holland, Felicity's twin sister and her brash ways. Felicity was someone now Ethan never knew he needed. I loved where Alex Wolf takes us with Ethan and Felicity's story. I cannot wait to go back to Philly for more.

Ethan and Felicity have my heart and was so enjoyable. The characters, banter and chemistry were so amazing.

Hmmm. Not sure how realistic this story was. I wasn't a fan.
First of all, gorgeous billionaires who look like Ethan, regardless of just how much of a late bloomer he was in high school, don't fluster, lose their cool, and act demented over a bumbling overachiever of a brainiac woman like Felicity, no matter how beautiful she was. Just. NO.
This would have been more believable had Ethan acted like other rich, sought after men with power and money. He was more like a blushing virgin than Felicity (by the way, how had no one ever given the twins nicknames? Talk about a mouthful of syllables in a name!)! Their story read more like a fairytale than anything else. A beautiful, sexy, young, single attorney who was a workaholic as well as brilliantly productive meets, and eventually wins the very gorgeously single young billionaire who, while admitting he got pursued by flakey, air-headed and ambitious women, also claimed he hadn't had sex in three years. Yeah, right. Perhaps a few normal flaws thrown in would have sold me this plotline better. And, Ethan apologizing in a humiliating fashion? Not even funny. By then I was rolling my eyes at the twins. Too many cliches and nasty evil twin who's mutually adored by her opposite in every way but looks and quirks twin sister. Two and a half stars.

An unputdownable steamy read
Two Brilliant Lawyers
Instant Sparks
Vulnerable Hero
Hot, steamy schmexyness
Each time Alex Wolf publishes a new book I know that it's an instant read for me. ETHAN was, to put it simply, an addictive read that I could not put down. Ethan Walsh and Felicity Pratt, two successful lawyers at loggerheads from the moment they meet, slowly find that there is a spark, a chemistry between them that is undeniable.
"Something tells me she's not a woman who forgets shit - ever."
Ethan Walsh, a driven workaholic who, at the age of thirty-eight, owns a successful law firm. Ethan has never been one for close relationships except for the two that have been lifelong ones, his mother, and his best friend Owen. Then there is his fur baby Rex, a black Labrador who rules the roost. Felicity Pratt left her position at Cooper & Associates in Manhattan to return home to be nearer to her parents and her twin sister. She too is a workaholic, who has no time for socialising or relationships, her work life is everything to her. Even though Felicity is due to start working for Ethan, she is yet to meet him, an unexpected chance at a coffee shop sees animosity brewing and sparks flying between them. Two people who are about to have their worlds turned upside down for different reasons.
"If he wasn't a gentleman, he wouldn't be breathing right now."
Ethan's life begins to implode, and his vulnerability shows when he receives some devastating news. Instead of being the man that everyone gets along with, Ethan has become short tempered, rude and unbearable, and Felicity is the person he takes his frustrations out on. Felicity often bites at Ethan's barbs, which causes the animosity between them to increase, she just doesn't understand why he treats her the way he does. I loved that from their obvious dislike for one another, their attraction began to grow, and develop into something neither were expecting. But of course, Ethan has foot and mouth disease, and his miscommunication and inability to share his burden, leads to heartache and misunderstanding. I love that Felicity makes Ethan see what he could have in his life if only he would open his heart up to others, she has him doing things he normally wouldn't do. Will Ethan be able to keep the woman who has opened his eyes, or will his stubbornness force her away?
"I wasn't looking for her, and she just bulldozed her way in while I stood by helpless, watching it all happen like an eager puppy wagging his tail."
Alex Wolf excels in the enemies to lovers trope, and Ethan Walsh and Felicity Pratt fit the roles perfectly. The begin with animosity, move to flirtations, and finally end up with understanding and love. I loved Ethan and Felicity together, even when they were bickering. Their banter was superb, their chemistry was explosive, and their heat was hot like molten lava. Alex always has terrific secondary characters, and in ETHAN he gave us three, Ethan's mum who is just gorgeous, Owen - that man needs his own book, and Holland, Felicity's twin sister, that woman had no filter about anything, if she thought it, she said it.
If you love this trope, then I highly recommend reading ETHAN. I laughed, was frustrated, sighed, and was occasionally close to tears, with this amazing story. One thing I can say, Alex Wolf always meets and beats my expectations, and he definitely did with ETHAN.

Ethan Walsh is a brilliant lawyer who has made his small Law Firm successful. He's a workaholic and is completely focused on his work and only two other people in his life. His Mother Donna and his Best Friend Owen. With his mother and Owen he believes there's no one else he needs to be closest too in his life,, he has all the meaningful relationships he needs between them and his best fur-friend Rex he needs no other relationship in his life. There has never been anything or anyone more important than them and he's never even entertained the idea of having a lasting relationship or family other than what he already has. Then when his world gets turned upside down and he's struggling to keep everything together. She happens!
Felicity Pratt is fresh from the prestigious Cooper & Associates Firm in New York. She's brilliant, determined, and a shark of a lawyer. She brings her A-game each and every time, taking charge and dominating a "mans" world with her fierce work ethic and focus to succeed.
Moving back home to get away from the corrupt world Cooper is in. She is determined to make her mark and expand her career. Until He happends!
Ethan and Felicity meet with a rocky start. She's thrown off kilter and doesn't take his rudeness in stride. Nope she gives it back in spades and shows her fierce, fiery attitude when met with his incredibly grumpy and rude attitude.
It's like you're witness to a tornado headed straight for your town when they first meet. You know it is going to end up causing absolutely devastation but you just cross your fingers and pray it will end with little devastation.
Despite the fact they had a horrible first interaction the two end up coming to a truce. The unmistakable sparks that flew between them is to great to ignore. They're in each other thoughts and under each other's skin. Neither o.e of them can help it. The attraction is too great.
However when Ethans mother becomes ill. His whole life and attitude changes. He pushes away anything and everyone with absolutely no explanation. He's cutting out anyone and everything but her from his life and determined to take care of everything on his own.
Pushing her away she's absolutely destroyed and can't see or understand why this is happening.
They're relationship ideas exploded and he is but only a shell of the man he was before.
When reality hits and the truth of everything comes out will it be too late? Is there still a chance for him to undo all the damage he has done?
Alex Wolf take your emotions on an incredible journey. He brings you right into the world of Felicity and Ethan. Makes you ask yourself questions about how you yourself would react to the situations these two are thrown into.
Sometimes we all need to be reminded that, When our world breaks around us, it takes more than our own hands and arms to pick up the pieces and put it back together.
5 shining stars for Ethan!!

If you love enemies to lovers look no further than Ethan Walsh and Felicity Pratt’s entertaining story.
Ethan is a confirmed bachelor until Felicity walks into his life and it was entertaining watching this man who was focused on his career and now looking after his sick mum, fall hard and fast for the confident and sassy Felicity. The attraction was instant, the chemistry was off the charts but can Ethan convince Felicity that he isn’t the arrogant jerk she believes he is. Will this couple have a tutor with the chemistry burn it’s self out….guess you need to read the book to find that out.
This story captivated me, I loved the push and pull dynamics and I really adored the kind, caring yet sassy Felicity but I do have ti say Ethan took some warming up to. The banter was witty, the chemistry was hot but what I really loved was seeing the man who didn’t believe in love, fall hard and fast when the right woman entered his life.
Ethan is a confirmed bachelor until Felicity walks into his life and it was entertaining watching this man who was focused on his career and now looking after his sick mum, fall hard and fast for the confident and sassy Felicity.

Will this couple have a tutor with the chemistry burn it’s self out….guess you need to read the book to find that out.

I really enjoyed this book, the characters and the storyline because who doesn’t love watching the confirmed bachelor fall for a woman he never expected.
Ethan Walsh has been so focused on his career and now his mom and her illness he has let his personal life become nonexistent until a new hire at his law firm throws him for a loop.
Felicity Pratt is sassy, confident, and challenges Ethan any chance she gets. She has also become his constant distraction. I love the challenging banter and the humorous teasing that goes on between these two. They have chemistry and a strong connection in and out of the office except when Alex is missing relationship cues. He is trying to control everything but forgets about her feelings. Can he figure it out before he loses the best thing that has ever happened to him?

I loved Ethan from start to finish. Ethan and Felicity will give you all the feels, combative, sexy and passion build this book into what it was portrayed to be; add in the compassion Ethan tries to hide and it makes for an overall fun and romantic read.

Another great book by Alex Wolf. This one had an alpha male Ethan who was a bit more emotional than other male characters and I love him all the more for it. Felicity is quite the spit firm and holds her own very well against Ethan. This author does such an amazing job at the internal monologue of the characters that literally has me laughing out loud as I read. I am so hoping that Owen will get his own book with a certain....well you'll have to read to find out who. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book for my honest review.

It might be a language barrier/cultural thing but a lot of the banter/internal dialogue was too drawn out and lost on me. It might be how males interact and speak with each other but it doesn’t work in a romance novel. I quite liked the characters but Ethan was too withdrawn and into his problems to make this a believable or intense love story. I’ll try another of this authors books as this was a first but his style of writing may not be my cup of tea.

Felicity Pratt left her high profile job as a lawyer at the large prestigious firm of Cooper & Associates in Manhattan after three successful years. She needed a change so she moved back to her hometown of Philadelphia to be closer to her twin sister Holland and their parents. She took a job as a senior associate at a smaller but successful firm there in hopes of moving up. What she didn't expect was having a tit for tat with her new boss Ethan Walsh before she even started work. She might be attracted to the gorgeous man but he irritated her with his arrogant smug and rude attitude but she would show him she was great at her job.
Ethan Walsh has a successful law firm in Philadelphia. He has worked hard to build his firm and has a reputation to prove he is one of the best. He feels like he is on the top of the world but life has a way of knocking you down when you least expect it. He feels like his whole world is imploding before his eyes. Which causes him to lash out at everyone to include his new hire Felicity.
Felicity and Ethan are at odds and try to avoid each other after several run ins but find themselves attracted to each other and soon call a truce. Eventually their attraction grows into so much more but will miscommunication, hurt feelings and a mistake with a client ruin everything?
I loved the back and forth banter and the secondary characters were fantastic especially his best friend Owen, his mother Donna and her twin sister Holland. Oh and lets not forget Rex his adorable dog.

I love this enemies to lovers spin off of the Cocky Suits series! Felicity left Cooper & Associates in NY and their drama and got a job with the best firm in in Philadelphia. She knows she is damn good at what she does and hits the ground running with her first client. Her only issues is her gorgeous, but angry, micromanaging and arrogant boss! Ethan has built his practice from nothing and it consumes his whole life. His perfectly ordered life is upended with a family matter, and the feisty new attorney! Aside from his best friend Owen, who works for him, Felicity is the only other person who will speak her mind to him and that's something he is finding hard to resist. She can handle his arrogance and the verbal sparring they do, but when Ethan shows a slightly softer side she can't help the trickle of attraction she feels. There is a fine line between love and hate and they obliterate that line! She knows he is a very private person, but after spending a few weeks together she expects more from him than the hot/cold emotions from him and can only take so much. Can he come back from the biggest mistake he has made in his life?? Their story is steamy with plenty of ups and downs and definitely tugs at the heart strings. I loved it!

Welcome to the lastest spin-off of the Cocky Suits series. Felicity leaves Cooper and Associates in New York being fed up with the drama of them, the Hunter Group in Chicago(connecting all the series) and moving back to Philadelphia to be close to her family. She take a job working for Ethan Walsh at the top firm in Philly. Her first impression of her new boss is extremely bad and being the strong willed take no grief from anyone, badass that she is she instantly puts him in his place. The connection these two feel is off the charts but can these two become something when Ethan, who has no social skills, is moody and needs to control everything in his life? On top of this a medical crisis with his mother that he has no control over, refuses to tell anyone about (besides his best friend and business partner, Owen, who is like a brother to him) and lashes out at everyone especially Felicity, breaking her heart causing major drama. The characters in this book are awesome especially Felicity’s twin sister Holland who has no filter, curses like a sailor, and has the complete opposite personality of Felicity. I can’t wait to see how her story plays out in the next book!

I was very excited when I heard Alex Wolf had a new release in the offing! I’ve always enjoyed his books and Ethan was no exception.
Felicity Pratt starts a new job at a law firm after having worked at one in Manhattan. She’s looking forward to this new challenge, but what she wasn’t expecting was a boss who was going to be a hot, arrogant man that was going to tempt her at every turn.
Ethan Walsh is a workaholic lawyer who has made his firm a success, but outside of his best friend and his Mom, work is the only thing he focuses on.
Felicity and Ethan don’t see eye to eye when she starts her job. He’s got his thoughts about her and she has hers about him. As their relationship starts to change, Ethan is simultaneously faced with a personal issue that takes away from his focus at work, and is also noticed by Felicity because their personal relationship suffers too. Will they be able to make it or will they end before they begin?
I enjoyed this so much and I was so happy to have another Alex Wolf book to enjoy!

sweet, steamy and will make you cry.
I think this might actually be the sweetest story is AWs arsenal. Ethan is nothing like you expect him to be. Under his serious and moody antisocial facade, Ethan is actually loyal, considerate, sweet, and he loves his people fiercely. Felicity was his perfect match and helped him bring out his better qualities.
I had so much fun reading this story. Fun banter, wonderful besties and family that keep the story moving. The Angst was high with sexual tension, frustration and a touch of sadness… plus its signature AW. Cocky butthead finds his match and falls butt over elbow in love. Ethan and Felicity have the heat turned way up! What is it about supply closets! Phew **wipes brow** H.O.T HOT!
I am a big AW fan and if you haven’t indulged yet, you should. Totally worth your time. His women might be forgiving, but they sure as heck don't take poo from their men unless they prove themselves worthy. The redemption aka the grand gesture is always my favorite part of an AW story

First things first, I loved the heroine in this book. Felicity is tough, smart, and ambitious. She speaks up for herself and knows her value. Sure, she ends up falling for her boss, but she's at least not a total moron about it and recognizes the risks even if she ignores them. Ethan was less successful as a character. I acknowledge that we need him to be emotionally stunted at first so that he can blossom into the man he was always meant to be, but his refusal to tell anyone in his life about what is going on with his mother was borderline insane by the end of the book. High marks for banter and steam. I thought Wolf did a nice job in the scenes where these two really square off with one another in a way that is soooooo obviously attraction, but still very entertaining. That said, this book needed to be a solid 40-50 pages shorter. There were too many repetitive conversations between Ethan/Owen and Ethan/mom where they told him over and over he couldn't control the world. If those had been shaved down significantly this probably would have been a five star review from me.

Ethan loves his mom, no questions asked. That fact alone made him so lovable to me. His first encounter with Felicity, not so much.
Felicity is the type of woman that knows her worth and will not take crap from anyone. Starting at a new firm is hard enough add in your new boss is smoking hot when that makes eye candy at work pleasant to say the least. Falling for said boss come with a lot. Ethan is smart as a whip but socially speaking needs a ton of help.
Ethan needs to be in control of everything and when life spirals he lashes out one everyone. When she walked out of his life, that just did him in and not is knows he needs to do something and fast.
The best part of the book for me was when Ethan met Holland. First impression made me laugh so hard everyone around me thought I was nuts. Second best part, dad, enough said.
You have got to get your hands on this book. You will not regret it!

The chemistry between Ethan and Felicity ignites with a bang in this delightful enemies to lovers story. I love the heroines in Alex Wolf’s stories - they are take no nonsense, badass kind of chicks that you want it be or be friends with and Felicity is no different. I must admit Ethan does give the reader something more of a challenge to warm up to; I would describe him as someone who is brilliant, but on the spectrum in terms of empathy and social interaction. At the same time he is very human and shaped by his experiences. The attraction burns hot between the two - but will he be able to drop his guard enough to move beyond lust to love? As always the supporting characters (Holland, Felicity’s twin sister and Owen, Ethan’s best friend) provide huge entertainment with their witty banter. An altogether entertaining, sexy read.
I was lucky to receive an ARC of this book and this is my honest opinion.

Average to Meh Read
Trope: boss/employee
Slow burn level: 52%
Hero is grouchy CEO of a lawyer firm. He has been distracted with talking care of his mother's ill health.
Heroine is a strong lawyer, moving back home from New York. Introduces self to hero when she ran into him at a coffee shop and he did not make for a welcoming encounter. They keep getting frustrated with each other.
I felt the inner dialogue did not match the characters personalities. They are portrayed as strong confident sassy people with backbone and I just felt their internal dialogue was soft and way too cheesy for who they were. It didn't feel like a progression of feelings towards each other either.
I really disliked some of the side characters and only one helped the storyline.

This was another great book from Alex Wolf. Felicity Pratt leaves the prestigious NY firm Cooper & Associates to work for Ethan Walsh, moving back home to be closer to family. Felicity and Ethan don't hit it off right away but can't deny their attraction to each other. Ethan's mother is sick and he devotes most of his time taking care of his mother and doesn't have time for a relationship. Felicity knows it's wrong to get involved with someone at work, especially the boss but they get together anyway. They have a hot and steamy relationship but not without problems. She is a strong independent woman and he is content to have a life of just his business, mother and best friend. Felicity manages to break thru and reach his heart. This was a great read and wonderful hea.

Felicity Pratt is an excellent attorney who decides to leave the grind of Manhattan to move back to Philadelphia to be near her parents. She runs into her new boss Ethan Walsh, as she is getting her coffee on her way to her first day at her job. Felicity's and Ethan's first encounter with each other leaves a bad taste in Felicity's mouth. The banter that these two attorneys throw at each other, sizzles right off the pages and this sizzle leads up to their hot relationship. Even though Ethan is good at his job, his personal communication skills with Felicity get thrown down the toilet. Author Alex Wolf does it again in writing a story that gets me to cheer for the strong female character and want to ring the male characters neck. Enjoy!
