If you love Alpha males and have wanted a story about them falling in love with an Alpha female look no further than From Rags. Connor and Jaxxon are survivors of the British Foster Care system. When Connor was 14 and Jaxx was 12 they were separated, Connor left his foster home for greener pastures. Connor was Jaxx protector and best friend. He also knew she was too young for the deeper feelings he had for her. Jaxx secretly worshiped Connor, it was because of him she was able to make it in London's mean streets. They will meet again after 10yrs have past, she will be the next new super Model and he will be a famous playboy Formula 1 race car driver. Both have traveled down separate paths to obtain fame and fortune, will they be able to  reconnect, or will outside threats prevent them from healing old wounds and finally acknowledging the love that was always between them.The story about Connor and Jaxxon's romance read like a spectator sport..I kept picturing gladiators fighting in the Roman Colosseum. Connor was an over the top knuckle dragging ape prowling after Jaxx. When words weren't enough he would pick her up and sling her over his shoulder to carry her off no matter where they were. Jaxx thought nothing of starting a food fight in a classy restaurant to get her point across. Talk about living your life for the world to see, these two had no shame. Jaxx was the perfect mate for Connor, when he had her on the ropes regarding her need for him she turned into a brawler and knew how to counterpunch. I loved the fact they came from a rough background with dysfunctional families, they were both shaped by their childhood and used those survival skills to deal with their new life style and fame. Jaxx was a take no prisoner lioness, she had zero tolerance for users, abuser or fools. Her Achilles heel is Connor, I loved experiencing her trying to fight her love for him. Jaxx character proved that h can be strong independent survivors with the capacity to give love and receive it. Connor thought he wanted a no-strings open relationship or as Jaxx would say "he wanted an exclusive replacement shag-doll". Connor is one kick-ass sexy dude but it's Jaxx that is his kryptonite, she will bring him to his knees, the fun is in reading about it as it happens.I highly recommend this book for lovers of Alpha male stories that have always wanted a love interest worthy of all their growling. The supporting cast of characters were an important part of the story especially Anna, love her. The British slang was awesome, the dialogue was witty, sharp and moved the story along at a nice pace.  I will definitely be looking for more books by Suzanne Wright.
