Parker
Everything is falling into place. My brothers-in-arms and I are taking down bad guys, and I get extra side missions from our benefactor that scratch my constant itch to avenge those who have been wronged. But what I don’t expect is for Mason, Reid’s older brother, to throw a massive wrench in one of my missions. He’s there, he’s everywhere, and I don’t know what it means when my heart thumps dangerously at the sight of him. I want to keep Mason safe, even if it means I take the fall for his crimes.
Mason
I’m not going to ever let anyone hurt Reid, not again, not after the death of our parents. Does that mean I have to commit a crime that sends my anxiety spiraling in a way it never has before? Absolutely. But when my crime derails not just my life, but Parker’s, and the other boys’, nothing is as easy as it seems. Parker is going to protect me at all costs, and suddenly I’m willing to do the same. We might all go down, but we’ll go down together, even as we begin to unravel the secret that is their mysterious benefactor, Robin.
One More Touch is book two in the One for All series, which follows a group of college-aged vigilantes as they strive to right society’s wrongs.

Series best enjoyed read in order.
REVIEW:
One More Touch is the second installment for the One For All series.
We already know all the characters from the previous book: Dante, Hayden, Parker and Jacob are college guys recruited by an anonymous Robin Hood to “take care” of criminals. During one of their missions, Dante met Reid and they fell in love. When Reid was accepted into the group as Dante’s boyfriend, Mason was kind of dragged along.
When Mason needs protection and he can’t leave his own house to go living at the guys’, Parker moves in with him as his protector.
Mason’s life is challenging: he has OCD, anxiety and a deep fear of contamination. His life is made of a strict routine that leaves him with very little contact with the outside world; he also can’t bear to be touched, not even by his brother.
After spending so much time together, Parker starts feeling a strong attraction towards Mason and he soon realises that he’s not so straight after all.
Parker was amazing with Mason: so thoughtful, respectful, caring, always checking if Mason was comfortable, always asking for consent before doing anything. Mason felt finally safe and cherished for the first time in his life. Their relationship is on another level of tenderness and love, Parker is completely devoted to Mason and while he never treats him like he’s fragile or incapacitated, he still adores him and puts him above everything else.
The mysterious part of the story, involving bad guys seeking revenge and the guys doing their own missions, is still going on strong: we have hints that the operation is way bigger and that there could be other groups involved. I honestly cannot wait to know more about all of it.
I was shocked to see Claude the Carver brought into the mix and a lot more shocked because Dante didn’t unalive him on the spot. I’m so curious about what will happen and I hope the next book will be released soon.
Especially because the tension between Hayden and Jacob has become unbearable: these two must got together like asap and release all the sexual frustration that they’ve been carrying since the first book!
So Dante and Reid were chaos and tough love, while Parker and Mason are tenderness and devotion. What will Hayden and Jacob be like? Can’t wait to find out.
