Talk about a wild ride, this book has so many twists and turns it'll make your head spin. The whole time I was reading this book I was practically sitting on the edge of my seat, and there was no way I could put this book down.This book is about Giovanni Bravo's life. It had suddenly taken a turn when the guy he was in a boxing match with, dies in the ring suddenly after taking a blow to the head. Gio still blames himself, even after the autopsy comes back saying that the guy had died from an undetected aneurism in his brain. But no matter how many times they told him that the man's death was not his fault, Gio still blamed himself for the guys death. After a tragedy, he has decided to give up boxing. When his old friend, Felix Sanchez, offers Gio to come up to his compound in Big Bear for two months, to train with him, his friends urge him to go. Little does anyone know that this decision will once again change Gio's life in both good ways and bad.Bianca Rubio is thrilled that her boyfriend, Felix Sanchez, the famous new Welter-Weight champion of the world, will be in Big Bear for two whole months to train. She decides to move in with him while he's there, but she has had a lot of trouble with trusting him, because of all the tabloid articles showing with his arms draped around different beautiful women. Some were taken while they dined out, others showed them entering various hotels. Felix always denies that any thing is going on with any of them, but when he doesn't show up to the compound for days after his scheduled arrival time, what is she suppose to think?The one person who does show up, is his friend Gio. While they await Felix's arrival, they start to get to know each other a little bit better. Soon an undeniable attraction starts to build between the two of them, one that grows stronger by the day. They both try hard to deny that attraction, but the longer it goes on...the harder it is not to act on it.This is where all the twists and turns start. And just about the time you think you've figured out what happens next, the story takes another sharp turn.This book brought out so many emotions. One minute I wanted to punch Felix out for treating Bianca so badly, and the next I wanted to hug him. The same goes with Gio and Bianca, too. But I really, really loved Noah. He was the voice of reason in this story, and he wasn't pulling any punches when he told Gio what he thought about him moving in on Felix's girlfriend. And I cried my heart out at the end, with the loss of Jack.Would I recommend this book? Most certainly.
