BLURB:
Raised and trained by The Asylum Fight Club’s most infamous owner, Reed Dane is almost untouchable. Might sound dope, but there are disadvantages to his ‘privileged’ status. His guardian’s reputation makes a serious relationship impossible—turns out the club’s members are addicted to breathing—and the one man Reed truly wants sees him only as a stray his former lover brought home.
An endless string of one-night stands lacks the intimacy Reed craves, but at least edgy post-fight hookups distract him from what he’ll never have. Until he takes a wrecking ball to the walls that set him apart.
Curtis Smith is a lot of things—MMA fighter, club owner…son of a drug lord—but one thing he’s not is prepared to face temptation exploding past his carefully built boundaries. Reed is forbidden, to him most of all, but resisting what they both want becomes impossible with the sub challenging him at every turn. And with his past threatening everything The Asylum has been built to protect, Curtis can’t afford to be addicted to Reed’s brand of candy coated sin.
He can’t deny himself one taste before his stolen time runs out. Because when it does, all that will be left behind for Reed is a memory…
And his heart.
REVIEW:
I have to admit, I liked this one much better. There were some grammatical things that need fixed, but I liked it much better. Although I wanted to shake Curtis in this one a lot, I do get why he did what he did. And so did everyone else once they knew the truth. Or the ones who mattered. But that didn’t mean this was an easy ride whatsoever. And it’s only going to get that much harder now that one is coming home.
Reed has been wanting Curtis to be his for so long, I think some were making bets on if it would ever happen. Curtis just held secrets that he didn’t want anyone involved in, that no one really knew of but Noah. Because Noah had been there when things went down and Noah was the one to make Curtis see what was really going on. And the consequences. Curtis will always be thankful, now, for what Noah did, although, he wasn’t thanking him then. But even if he wanted to tell Reed now what was going on, he was told he couldn’t by someone who was undercover. So he ran. And broke Reed in ways no one knew possible. But someone caught up to him and told him it was time to come home and face it all. Even Reed. And the truth little by little, starting coming out. Especially when Curtis and Reed were kidnapped. But it’s not only their lives on the line, but their hearts.
I so hate what Curtis and Reed both had to go through in this one. In the best moment of Reed’s life, all he had to look forward to for a time further was despair. And Curtis had no way to tell anyone anything without repercussions. Which really wasn’t fair. I think he should have had the right to tell those he loved. He didn’t have to spread it around everywhere what was going on, but to be able to tell Reed and Law, maybe even Matt. To know he had support and love. And all he felt was that he failed and was bringing horror down on those he loved. Not an easy thing to deal with. And I hate Reed had to go through such heartache. But sometimes, unfortunately, we have to go through the bad to get through to the good. And sometimes the good needs time to come forth. It’s not an easy journey in this one. I think the lot of them need to be shaken at times. But they are doing the best with what they know and that has to count for a lot. And in the end, it does. I also like the new character in this one. Noah’s uncle. Lol. Oh, he’s just perfect. I’m anxious to see how it’s going to be now that certain events are happening. It’s going to be a rough ride for a bit for sure. But I think funny.
