I have to say that I personally felt that this story was beautifully written! Kaiya has a wicked past that most women wouldn't survive, and yet although she finds herself weak; she is anything but! Usually in stories that contain this sort of subject matter, I cannot finish the book. However, Nikki handles this topic with as much grace and passion as one can with such a sensitive subject. While I felt Kaiya's pain, I also wanted her to kick butt and allow the fragments of her shattered heart to heal, because if anyone deserves happiness she does!Kaiya enrolls herself in self defense classes where she meets the sexy tattooed instructor Ryker. Ryker must sense some of her hurt and demons that keep her living in the past, because he is drawn to her in ways he cannot explain. Ryker has a past that has caused him to close himself off to women and he will never sleep with a woman more than once. However, Kaiya makes him want more and he cannot get her out of his system. As time progresses and they get closer Kaiya also gets stronger both physically and emotionally to some degree. Can Ryker break through the hard shell that guards Kaiya's heart? Can Kaiya let Ryker in and allow him to help heal her and fight her demons with her so she is no longer alone in the battle? Kaiya's past quickly catches up to them, and in that moment Ryker will discover how he really feels about his "warrior" Kaiya and their lives will never be the same.I loved watching Kaiya and Ryker help each other through their personal battles. Kaiya also has an older brother that is a big part of this story. His love for her melted my heart. I was an only child, but if i had a brother I would want him to be just like her brother. He was the only man she trusted or relied on, so to see Ryker take over that role made my heart a puddle on the floor. I give this story 4 stars, and really feel it was beautifully written given the subject matter! I read it in a day because I couldn't fall asleep until I was done! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!
