Synopsis:
When you can’t resist the one person who could destroy you…
Sia
O’Donnell can’t help but push the limits. She secretly attends every
underground MMA fight featuring The Predator, the undisputed champion.
When he stalks his prey in the ring, Sia is mesmerized. He is dominant
and dangerous and every instinct tells her to run.
Every
beautiful thing Ray “The Predator” touches he knows he’ll eventually
destroy. Soft, sweet and innocent, Sia is the light to Ray’s
darkness-and completely irresistible. From the moment he lays eyes on
her, he knows he’s going to have to put his dark past behind him to win
her body and soul.

My Review: 3.5 Black Belts
I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I give Full Contact 3.5 black belts (stars). I love martial arts and fighting, so naturally, I was excited to pick up this erotic romance novel. I enjoyed it, overall. Sia's character was well developed and I liked the way she grew and overcame her past over the course of the novel, and the way she was a mix of vulnerable and tough. I thought Ray's character should have been a bit more developed. Also, even though I enjoy alpha males, grunting one-and-two-word sentences was a bit too much for me. But in general, I liked Ray and would have enjoyed getting to know more about him. The erotic part of the novel was well done, it was sexy, hot and fun. The insertion of a few BDSM elements into the sex scenes wasn't overwhelming but added another dimension to them, which to me was a plus.
The secondary characters were also well developed and fun to read, especially Sia's brother Tag (who, I'm assuming, is going to get a story of his own), her best friend Jess and Torment, the owner of the Redemption gym (whose story was already told in one of the previous installments in the series)
Overall, I enjoyed the novel enough to pick up the rest of the books in the series.

I love me a good story about a fighter too, so this one definitely draws my attention. And that cover is quite nice. ;) I'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteYes, I rather enjoy the cover ;) lol
DeleteGreat review, Yelena! I can't say I've read anything with martial arts before but I love books about sports and boxing and stuff so I imagine I would enjoy this one! :)
