This book is a hot mess.Brianna is a crazy, young woman that has too much self-hatred to be likeable. She ends up meeting Luke, underground boxer, when he starts a fight in her bar. She ends up hitting him over the head with her drink tray to try to stop the fight. "'I should kick your ass for that,' he spat, and I could see that he was putting serious thought into doing just that. The idea excited me." WTF, you were excited about being beat up by a man????She likes to park her car in a homeless area that is known for crackheads. She is fearless folks. But then one night the crackheads decide to attack her and take her purse. And of course Luke happens to be there to save her. And her thoughts about the crackheads after that? "Even after last night, I didn't fear them". You should fear them little girl. They ganged up on you and hit you over the head repeatedly.Luke and Bri were not hot. Their romance was sad. Disturbing. The cover portrays tenderness. There really wasn't any tenderness between them. At times hot but nothing tender or sweet.Sometimes, I found some of the sentences were not written well. I had to re-reading sentences. Sometimes 3 or 4 times. Eventually I just started skimming. There was an interesting plot deep within. I just didn't care enough about either of the main characters***ARC received from Carina Press on Netgalley***
