Story
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Story
My path to success never included an enemy as a teammate, especially one as infuriating as Quinton de Haas. Clawing under my skin is his favorite pastime, only feeding the animosity between us as the years pass. We’re as completely opposite as two people can be; the golden boy and the black sheep. Constantly at odds or at each other’s throats. The only thing we can agree on is hockey is our true love, and we’ll do whatever it takes to come out on top. I never imagined that drive would lead me to do the unthinkable: falling into bed with my not-so-straight rival.

Story
Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face. He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain. And, unfortunately, my stepbrother. We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences. Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far. Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I've ever met. I want to sock the golden boy of college hockey right in the mouth. He enjoys telling me everything I'm messing up—publicly. And since he's my roommate for the next year, I can't avoid him. Yet there's something about him that makes me watch him. Something dark. A secret I want to uncover. When he returns from a weekend away, broken and haunted, I can't keep my distance anymore. He needs someone, and I'll be damned if it's not me.

Ever since we met two years ago, Eden Burkehammer has made everything better. The big defenseman sets me at ease. He’s a beast on the ice—brutal and physical—but when it’s the two of us, he turns to me with these unexpectedly soft brown eyes. This gravelly laugh that makes my whole body smile. And yeah, I might have thrown a glance his way a time or two in the steamed-up locker room showers—you know, just curious. But he’s my best friend. My teammate. Roommate. I don’t want to mess with that. Just the thought of losing him sends a cold zap the full length of my spine.

Of all the people who could have seen me when I was at my most vulnerable, it had to be him. Caleb. My stepbrother and the golden child of our messed up blended family. We barely know each other, but for some reason, he takes care of me when an incident at the club leaves me helpless and alone. He hates me as much as I hate him, but something about his bossy attitude and unflappable calm soothes me. I don't want to want him, but no one has ever made me feel the way he does.

Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

It's official: my step bro is the biggest himbo ever to himbo. He's a massive blond beefcake with a soft heart and an over-eager smile. The mere sight of him incites a shaking hot rage in me. He's everywhere. He's around me all the time. So sweet and gentle that it makes me feel wild. I see him and smell him everywhere. When I can't see him or smell him, I hear him. The wall between our bedrooms is paper thin. I can't help it—I hear what he does in his room when he thinks he's alone. I hear everything.

I was intrigued by Crow at first glance. Who wouldn't be? He's a mountain of a man, who was raised in a cult, and now lives secluded in the wilderness. But the draw I feel to him goes beyond mild interest. When his intense gaze falls my way it feels like he can see into my soul, to my deepest yearnings and desires. I took a bold chance venturing to his mountain uninvited. But I can't help myself. Despite Crow’s dangerous facade, I feel at home when I’m near him. I've never felt wanted or needed… until the mountain man took me in his arms.

Like all Necromancers, Cassius Corbin grew up knowing one irrevocable truth: death comes for us all. It was a lesson he learned well when his mother was murdered by fellow witches. Six years later, he is back in the town of Winslow, Massachusetts, to attend Tennebrose University. But that's not the only reason. While he's home, he intends to track down a magical folio stolen from his family centuries ago. Once he finds it, he'll finally be everything the witches in Winslow fear and the Corbin name will be respected once again—as long as Graeme Hewitt stays out of his way.

Publisher's Summary
That’s the thing about hearts - like waves, they break too.
Grief.
I’ve never battled with the raw, debilitating pain that comes with it. Then a twist of fate hits me out of nowhere, and I can barely keep from drowning. It’s like weights tied to my ankles in the middle of a raging ocean. I’m helpless, with no way to swim back to the surface.
But fate is crueler still, bringing my stepbrother back for the first time in years.
Cannon never wanted this family. Especially me. Still, he’s always been my greatest desire. And my biggest weakness. He’s unattainable. Straight, engaged, and with a seemingly perfect life on the other side of the country. It’s something I’d do well to remember, yet when he stays, it’s so easy to forget.
In finding solace together, we mend what once was broken. This loss bonds us. Changes us. He’s become more than a brother or a lover. He’s my anchor.
So how am I supposed to keep my head above water when I’ll eventually lose him too?
Head Above Water is a stand-alone, full-length MM enemies-to-lovers stepbrother romance novel.

The entire book crushed my soul…
Head Above Water is a high angst enemies to lovers step brother MM romance.
This is my second CE Ricci book and like the first I was hooked straight away. I loved it so much that I was 4 chapters into the audio and had to buy a physical copy.
My heart broke for Cannon. Then my heart broke for East.
The entire book crushed my soul…but it was heartbreakingly poetic.
Ricci must thrive off the tears of her readers. The all consuming grief of this story was palpable. I’m a huge fan of authors that make me feel something from their writing and characters, be it happiness, joy, laughter etc. But when an author can make me feel the gut wrenching sadness, that’s a a true gift.
CE Ricci is the master of the high angst. But while you feel the pain an heartache, you also feel that love. Plus the added moments of sass and snark. It’s art I swear…
Zachary and Michael were also the perfect narrators for these characters. Michael brought the pain of Easton’s emotions alive. And Cannon’s rage and bottled pain perfectly shown by Zachary.
If you haven’t read one of CE Ricci’s books and you’re looking for one to start with….Make it this one, their story is worth all the heartache

Yum! Easton & Can are delicious.
Woohoo! So excited to listen to CE Ricci's first audiobook! It was amazing. Absolutely love Easton & Can. I'm a huge fan of Stepbrother stories and this story did not disappoint. I'm definitely sad that it's over. I'm definitely not ready to let them go. Zachary Johnson & Michael Dean did an awesome job narrating!

Heartbreakingly Beautiful!
Such a true telling of what relatable heartbreaking grief actually looks like in the real world, how we can get lost in our thoughts and grief and the strength of love that can pull us through. So many raw emotions (that were felt by the great work of the narrator’s); but balanced by the beautiful reluctant stepbrother, enemies to lovers story that’s doesn’t just happen over night as in some books, but rather decades of fighting the attraction pull, battling what’s right, societal norms and more; in this slow burn romance, sexual exploration (for one, the other is out) and mending of bonds, that takes on a wild ride and with a HEA. So well written - became so invested in the characters, was great to see the cracks in the armour and vulnerability underneath, and so much depth in the characters. There were also some fun laugh out loud moments and banter, sexy smirks and steamy spicy sessions of course!
Highly recommend, one of the best MM books I have listened to yet!
(Follow this with CE Ricci’s book - ‘Don’t you Dare’, there is a fun cross-over putting characters from both books in the background of each other, see if you pick it up! It’s also another great MM book by this author!)

Painful and beautiful
I absolutely love CE Ricci’s writing and that’s held true with this book. I had to keep opening the kindle version just to highlight lines. The two voice actors did an absolutely phenomenal job, i don’t think I’ve heard this level of expression before. You could feel the pain and anguish. Just a beautiful story of grief and forbidden love.

Broke my damn heart in the best possible way.
Ugh this was SO GOOD. Predictably, the voice actors who did the narration were perfection. Purchased because of them, but seriously impressed with the story as well. Can't say I "enjoyed" every second, because I spent quite a few chapters sobbing like a baby... But it was very, very good. Will absolutely be listening again when I have more tissues. Also, brilliant to see a tear jerker with a solid HEA to heal the wounds. Will be checking out more of this author's work.

Oh my god this book!
I cried for Easton, I cried for Can and I cried for David. Such an emotional book. You can’t put this one down. It is a master piece. Keep you drawing to the book.
Michael and Zachary did a fantastic job. Zachary had that stern Con voice down pack.
Loved it! Highly recommend.

A binge worthy story.
Ive fallen in love with both Canaan and East. They are so different and yet so drawn to each other. Their story has made me cry laugh, wiggle in my seat and jump for joy. So well written and drawn out. their story spanned their younger and teenage years through to their adulthood, but in such a way that i was completely enraptured by them at every turn. The Narration was wonderful and encapsulated their characters so well. Easts tantrums and exuberance was perfectly shared and as was Canaans naturally protectiveness and complete inability to resist East. So good. Highly recommend.

One of my favourite books
I really enjoyed listening to this book even though I’ve read it a few times before. The only thing I found was that particularly in the last part of the book, the narration was spoken so fast I had great difficulty in understanding what was being said. I found I had to keep replaying sections and still found it hard to decipher the words due to the speed of the narration.
