If you love Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, Real by Katy Evans, or Seducing Cinderella by Gina L. Maxwell then you love this book!!!!
Basic
Summary: What happens when in order to win, you’re
forced to lose?
The
only daughter of an infamous Las Vegas pimp, Raven Moretti grew up an
outsider. Liberated from the neglectful
home of her prostitute mother, she finds solace as a mechanic. With few friends, she’s
content with the simple life. Flying
under the radar is all she knows, and more than she expects.
Until
she catches the eye of local celebrity, UFL playboy Jonah Slade. Weeks away from his title fight, Jonah is
determined to stay focused on everything he’s
trained so hard to achieve. Undefeated
in the octagon, he’s at the height of his career. But resisting Raven’s
effortless allure and uncomplicated nature is a fight he can’t win.
Jonah
trades in his bad-boy reputation and puts his heart on the line. But when her father contacts her, setting in
motion the ugly truth of her destiny, Jonah must choose. In a high-stakes gamble where love and
freedom hang in the balance a war is waged where the price of losing is a fate
worse than death.
What I
Love About This Book: I’m a
sucker for a book that involves hot, tattooed, fighters and this book is no
exception to that rule! Jonah Slade is Hot with a capital H!!!!!! This story has a lot of twists and turns,
that unfortunately involve Raven’s very dysfunctional family. There are couple times that I was holding my
breath especially towards the end where everything comes to a head.
The
prologue starts with Raven’s birth to her father, Dominick Morretti, who to say
the least is an evil man who just sees women as a commodity rather than a human
being. Raven’s
mother is a prostitute and felt in order to protect her daughter from her very
own father she had to act like she didn’t care about her own child. Dominick’s power is gained by finding a person’s
weakness and using it against them and the love Jonah has for Raven is no
exception.
Great
love story, awesome sex scenes and I am always a sucker for love at first
sight. I like that Jonah is a little bit of a momma’s boy, and it creates a
nice dynamic between Jonah’s mom and Raven.
Cons: My one big negative is the fact that Raven is
a virgin. I’m sick
and tired of the virgins already!!! Every book you read lately the girl is
either very inexperienced or a virgin.
For once I would love to see a book where it’s the
woman that is either more experienced in sex, or more experienced with
relationships. Put a woman on equal
footing with a man for once!!! It would set the story apart from others and
would still be an awesome story.
Also if
you’re going to make an erotica book, then from the start fill it with
erotica. I get there is a love story
here and she’s a virgin and he wants to make her first time special and blah
blah blah. But at a certain point I look
to see my progress in the book and I’m at 46% and still no sex!!! I mean there
was a little bit of oral action, and that was great but damn it’s erotica!!
Fill it with sex!!!!!!
Overall: If you love books that involve fighters, than
this book is the one for you!!! I really appreciate the fact that JB Salsbury
puts a lot of detail in this book, and adds the aspect of loving cars into
it. I don’t feel like this author
skipped over details about something that sounds interesting but they really
have no idea what they are talking about.
From reading this book I completely believe that either the author
really studied automobiles, or that is a second love for them as well. Raven’s excitement about Judah’s cars and motorcycle
were communicated so we through the words that I was just as excited and I don’t
know squat about cars! I love when books are written so well they make you just
as excited or heartbroken as the characters are. This book has tons of heart stopping moments,
and some bitter sweet ones as well. The
story captures you from page one and doesn’t let you go until the very
end. Can’t wait for the second in this
series and get into Blake’s crazy head.
