REVIEW:
The only reason this book didn’t get a 5 heart review is because of how cheesy and corny it was at times. The eye rolling cheesefest wasn’t abundant but it happened enough for me to note it and obviously make it a part of my review. Other than that though…this book was FRIGGIN FANTASTIC!!!!!!! OMG…I loved it so so so damn much!! This is the first book I’ve read from this author and I am HOOKED!! I really enjoyed her writing style. The plot was in depth and really pulled me in and the characters were so developed and complex. The whole thing just sucked me in and didn’t let me go!!
Zeke “The Storm” Raine has had one goal for as long as he can remember. To be the best fighter in the world and he refuses to let anything get in his way. He’s unprepared, however, for the attraction he feels for his new coach.
Bryce Tanner has made a living out of training fighters and he see a lot of potential in Zeke. He tries to push aside his feelings so he can help make Zeke the best fighter around.
Both men can’t control their feeling and their attraction wins out.
I really loved the angsty push/ pull in this story. The whole, “I love you but I can’t be with” thing really worked for me. It was devastating and painful but perfect too. I totally loved these characters and their emotions were so believable and real. This author can write a book. I’m hooked on this series and I am really looking forward to the next book. The way this ended with a little tidbit into book 2 was perfection…soooooo good!!!!
Recommend!!!!!!!!
