I loved Shane's dark, powerful personality. Gabriel had a sweetness about him that was a beautiful contrast to Shane's hard strength. Watching them learn each other and build on their intense feelings was sexy as hell. We're there cringeworthy moments? Absolutely. But overall, the characters seemed likeable. They made you want to learn their back stories and what drove them. The ending also set you up very nicely for the sequel, Shivaree. I've already added it to my must read list.Backwoods...more

As a person who really enjoys sports romances, I was very excited to read this. As someone who absolutely LOVED Lori Foster's MMA series, I was afraid I'd be disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised! Lucie was klutzy and sweet, but with a feisty side. Being raised by her brother, she had zero confidence in herself as a woman. Her self worth stemmed from her intellect and career. (at least she HAD an excuse...how many women have virtually no self esteem and no real reason for it? Ok, stepping off my soapbox now.).
As for Reid, he's a great guy with a big heart that, thanks to his father, doesn't think he's worthy or capable of anything but the next big fight. Lucie knows better. She sees the man deep down that's been trying to break free.
Under normal circumstances, is it realistic to think that an MMA fighter would give a girl her "Pretty Woman" moment? Most likely, not. I have enough everyday male friends who wouldn't do it. But secretly, for your best friend's little sister? One you consider (at least initially) your little sister? Rules usually get thrown out. Especially in the face of tears.
I really enjoyed this story. I found it to be sweet and poignant. I can't wait to see what book two of this series is like. Will it be about Lucie's brother? Will they bring another fighter in for her lawyer best friend? Hmmmm...Seducing Cinderella...more

I should have known that this story would be a tear jerker when the story began with a funeral. Rafe, a young police officer, had been in love with Charlie, an older business man who passed away. Charlie, though he cared for Rafe, had been emotionally unavailable, causing Rafe to walk away for the last time. Unfortunately, before Rafe could truly find closure, Charlie dies leaving Rafe with more questions than answers.
At the funeral, a young man catches Rafe's eye; he's kicking himself for finding himself attracted to someone at his former lover's funeral. Then he learns that Charlie had a son, Stewart, the man he'd been attracted to, and that Charlie left a note with Stewart for him.
This is a story of healing, closure and second chances. It will touch your heart and make you cry, but in that bittersweet way that often happens in life. I'm glad I Took the time to read this one....more

I bought this book because I'd read an excerpt online that intrigued me. I wish I hadn't wasted my time. This short read did not capture my imagination at all. First, the girl in the story seemed wishy washy. Second, even the sex scenes didn't fully captivate. Third, and this is a bit of a spoiler...how does one go from planning to end their liason to m茅nage to committed relationship? Like I said, I wish I hadn't wasted my time or my money.Room For Two: An Erotic BDSM Quickie...more
