I have a lot of issues about this book. I felt like I was reading about Travis Maddox (Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire) and Remington Tate (Real by Katy Evans) both in the same book without the alluring of either.There's this Anderson underground fighter who happens to be in Kaela's neighborhood and saves her from getting rape. He takes her to his penthouse, cleans her and let her sleep. Since she's too awake and lusting after Anderson (just a few moments after being attacked <- 1st issue) she asks him to tell her about himself. To my surprise he spills  the beans, he says all his tragic story without second thoughts <- 2nd issue. If I were and underground fighter I wouldn't be telling my life story and what I do for living. What if she'd been a police officer or a reporter or someone sent to distract me. If that was the way I earn my money I wouldn't be telling at all. She ends up "working" for him (if you count sleep with the boss as a job since there's nothing written about what she's supposed to do as his personal assistant <- 3rd issue). Then there is the fight which he almost lost by smiling at him and we get to know the creepy guy. Moving on in the plot I just kept thinking Anderson is really stupid, he doesn't care where the money comes from as long as he gets to fight. He never complains about his lifestyle and it isn't cheap at all. So, I thought Kaela has the brains and something is going to come up to show him he's been played. But that doesn't happen, she has to hear the truth from Robert's mouth to realized how bad things are. Luckily, Anderson is close to the conversation to listen to everything without being noticed by Robert <- 4th issue. He comes up with the must stupid plan (already stablished he's not bright) to just throw the towel (literally), which was in his back pocket the whole fight BTW, and start shouting everything Rob'd done to him. Obviously people is going yo believe him and then the police arrive to save the day and let them run away <- 5th issue. They have their HEA as fugitives (I guess) and I still wonder how Anderson gets access to his money if Rob was the one who took care of that.This is the second book I read about this author and I'm done. The story line is similar and it reminds me of other books I've read. She can tell a story but not for my liking.
