Flawed Justice

About This Audiobook

Tibby Armstrong’s *Flawed Justice* isn’t your typical LGBTQ+ romance—it’s a raw, unflinching dive into the messy intersections of family, prejudice, and redemption. Matt Kincaid’s life is already a circus: raising his troubled teen brother alone while scraping by on dead-end gigs, until a reckless act of violence lands the kid in juvie. Worse, the target? A queer fight club where Matt’s own repressed desires are starting to flicker back to life. When Matt takes a job as a bouncer there to keep an eye on things, he’s forced to confront the hatred he’s buried for years—both in the world and himself. Armstrong writes with a visceral, no-frills style that makes every bruise and heartbreak feel urgent, especially in how she balances Matt’s gruff protectiveness with his sneaking attraction to the fight club’s openly queer crew. This isn’t a soft romance; it’s a story about fighting for those you love, even when you’re the one who’s broken.

What sets this apart is how Armstrong refuses to let Matt—or the reader—off easy. The fight club isn’t a glittery sanctuary; it’s a gritty, sweaty underbelly where queer folks carve out space with their fists and wit. The audiobook’s narration by Gabriel McKnight amplifies this tension, his voice shifting effortlessly between Matt’s exhausted gruffness and the brittle hope he can’t quite shake. McKnight’s delivery grounds the emotional whiplash, making Matt’s internal conflicts as audible as the punches thrown in the ring. If you crave romances where the stakes feel tangible and the queer joy isn’t just backdrop but hard-won, this delivers—but be prepared for bruises along the way.
