Story in a nutshell:Aiden O'Brien (a former MMA fighter, now a cop) is doing a friend a favor by checking in a woman, Kat MacGregor. He finds her as a waitress in a popular bar. He immediately falls for her and ends up hanging out and working at the bar to get closer to her. Turns out she owns some super crime boss money and now Aiden is involved in this mess.There is fighting (in and out of the ring), passionate sex, kidnapping and a happy ending.If you were to tell someone the storyline, it would sound incredibly silly (crime bosses, etc) but as you are reading, it mainly seems to work. Kat is messy. Her life is disorganized and messy. Aiden can offer the stability that she needs. And they make it work.I don't like MMA, but when the author talks about the hard bodies and crazy exercising, it became more interesting to me. wow.Kat is not weak. Hate weak female leads. She is sad about having to leave her life behind, but she is determined to make things work.Aiden is also the same. He made a huge mistake in his past (wasn't really as bad as I thought it was going to be), but Kat helps him work through it and he doesn't go running around beating himself up.This book was easy to read - liked both characters (yes, Aiden is total alpha-male that goes all caveman on Kat right away. If you don't like that kind of a lead-male, skip this book. Enjoyed the storyline. Glad it had a closed up (no cliffhanger) happy ending.
